No, it’s not Rush.

This needs to be a nationally signed band or artist. Not some **** head playing local choke and pukes in your **** burg.

Beastie Boys
Green Day

For an assignment in my Mass Media & Pop Culture class a couple of years ago, a student played a Green Day video as part of a class presentation. That was the first time I had heard that band. I hope that will be the last time I hear that band.

Nickleback and Creed, but my leader is Journey. Now, I know that is an unpopular pick, but hear me out.

— this band had some amazingly talented musicians and started out with some lofty goals.
— instead, they hired a eunuch with an ego to sing lead vocals on some of the most overproduced pop music not made by Mutt Lange.
—so they get my vote because they squandered so much and at the end of the day, two of their members shacked up with Trumpist women.
— I know my hell will include “don’t stop believing” on a continuous loop.

But they came to you with open arms

No one say Huey Lewis and the News. I won't be able to handle it.

Justin Bieber.
Few things have inspired such unusual, spontaneous rage in me as the first time I watched the "Baby, Baby, Baby" video. I have never wanted to kick the **** out of a 12-year-old as bad as I did in that moment. At one point I was in Wal-mart and saw a cardboard cutout of Bieber over a box of posters. My first instinct, that I had to consciously tamp down, was to go punch it in the face.
He was everything awful with teenage pop music, like if you could condense all of the bad things from every boy band ever into one evil vessel, and has not gotten any less douchey now that he's grown up.

I haven’t listened enough to confirm it is Florida-Georgia Line but that’s my hunch.

FGL is a traveshamockery, but the topic is worst band ever rather than worst vocal group or duo ever. Had it been the latter, they’re the winner. Or loser.

Whichever.

So many choices, some already mentioned.

Nickelback and Creed might win for worst lead singers, but their music is pretty generic Pearl Jam knock-off. Also in this category of decent music, horrible singer are the B-52s. Fred Schneider's voice is the aural equivalent of a cheese grater.

Starship is a contender because they were the dried-up remains of a great band (Jefferson Airplane) and, at times, a pretty good one (Jefferson Starship). And "We Built This City" is probably the worst song released in the 1980s, and that's saying something.

All of you who are mentioning Rush obviously are confusing them with a blowhard who died this past week.

So that leaves ... Meatloaf. Worst of all time for his horrible ballads. Even his "cool" song is a discofied piece of **** with cameos pasted in by Todd Rundgren. Just like the food he's named after, you can pour all the ketchup on it you want, it's still bland, slimy and awful.
