The Worst in Music

[GTABlackKnight]

here's my top 6 worst music artsts of ALL TIME...

 

6-ANY BOY BAND= every dude's worst nightmare and every adolescent girl's dream in the late 90's-early 00's.

5-EVERY DISNEY SINGER= Hannah Montana (Miley Cyrus or whatever the hell her name is), Jonas Brothers, etc. if Walt Disney was still alive, he'd dissaprove of this.

4-SOULJA BOY AND LIL WAYNE= a one-hit wonder and a sellout who are contributing to the death of hip-hop.

3-ELVIS= i know, i know, he's the King of Rock N Roll. reason i label him the worst is because he ripped off black music.

2-BRITNEY SPEARS= proof you don't need talent to make it in the music industry, just slutty looks. i wanna KILL this bitch. who feels the same way?

1-BIEBER AND GAGA= i had to put them both at number one because they're SO OVERRATED. a Canadian fag wigger and a talentless attention-seeking tranny-whore. they both sing HORRIBLY, one sounds like a 3 year old girl and the other sounds like a bitch having an orgasm and a robot, their songs sucks, and they should just quit now before we all do this .

'nuff said.

 

 

 

 

 

 

who do you think are the worst music artists EVER?! your opinions will be respected and no bullsh*t flaming or off-topic discussions.

Just learn to respect what others listen. An example, I am a big fan of Elvis Presley. Had all the discs, cd's, even the films. So what now? You listen eminem and such, we respect you. But you aren't that polite to respect us.

[Vanilla Shake]

3-ELVIS= i know, i know, he's the King of Rock N Roll. reason why i label him the worst is because he ripped off black music.

Your opinion is null and void because of this.

 

Besides, doesn't the worst song ever thread basically cover this subject?

this topic is talking about the worst MUSICIAN ever, not the worst SONG ever. that's two different things. so that thread doesn't cover this one.

 

and i'm sorry if you feel offended by the Elvis quote, so here .

 

and to morrissey, i do respect other people and what they listen to. it was just my opinion. i do like old scool music. it's much better than the sh*t that's being made today. so to show my respect, here you go .

I wasn't offended. I may not be the biggest Elvis fan myself, but to consider him being among the worst musicians of all time is ludicrous.

[NikoGTA4]

What?! Elvis the worst musician ever!? Without Elvis, there would be no Beatles. Elvis was THE KING yeah!

[GTABlackKnight]

OK. can we please get back on-topic? i expected this kind of reaction when i mentioned Elvis.

[Tyler]

Well mate, hate to tell you but they are on topic, debating the validity of your claim stating Elvis as a 'bad' singer. By all means I respect your decision to say that, but I disagree completely. There is a reason why he is known as the 'King of Rock'n'Roll'. Certainly, if he was a bad singer, then that bad singer influenced about every single genre of music after 1959, in some way or another.

 

As for my pick of 'bad' musicians, I think people like Katy Perry and Rhianna, the people not composing their own music, just singing other people's, are the ones making music today a little bit less about the soul, and more about the money. They sing some catchy tunes, but in the end your left thinking, "What the hell does that song even mean?" unlike older songs that had deeper messages to the ones who listened to them.

 

I'll give you an example - 'Bad Moon Rising' by Creedance Clearwater Revival. The song was Fogerty's way of expressing his concern for the riots in America and the war in Vietnam, and how nothing good can come for the people out there. That is a song that not only was catchy, but managed to actually have something to it. This is the reason you see the 'indie kids' of today's youth listening to this music and hating on the standards like Soulja Boy and Drake. I am in no way saying these people are bad myself (I don't like them though) I am only playing devil's advocate and telling you this.

 

Now, there are artists who actually compose their own music today, but either the message is irrelevant or the songs aren't catchy enough to make the producer happy enough. This is why I get a mixed feeling of nostalgia and melancholy ominousness. I loved the past, and I can stand the present, but hopefully the future holds something more substantial to the minds of the thinker and the symbolist.

 

 

[Robinski]

I'd usually go off on one about how you're wrong about Lady Gaga, and how you hate on a lot of popular music to look cool and edgy. I'm not going to bother because of two reasons: 1) you seem incapable of making a list, with two of the "worst artists" being massive blanket categorizations 2) Elvis is on your list. You may not like his music but he was objectively a great musician.

 

PS Being a "tranny" doesn't really have much affect on the quality of the music you produce, not that anyone on that list is a tranny though...

[stinomontana]

3-ELVIS= i know, i know, he's the King of Rock N Roll. reason why i label him the worst is because he ripped off black music.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

lol, like eminem ripped of black music?

listen when someone or some race discovers a music genre it doesnt mean that they own it.

 

[GTABlackKnight]

 

@Robinski i ain't trying to be cool or edgy and i do like some popular music. i'm just letting some steam out about the music artists that i hate. and i don't give a damn about popularity and fame of a music artist, i just care about the quality of the music and how good it sounds. and these people on the list have ZERO quality in their songs and are total sh*t.

Removing Elvis was weak sauce. Stand up for yourself.

[The-King]

What about Benny Goodman, Glenn Miller and all of the other Big Band guys? By your definition they ripped off black music, I bet Jelly Roll Morton is rolling in his grave.

 

Only musical genres I'll close my mind to without a second thought because I know they're utter garbage due to extended exposure to them are pretty much any metal genres with the suffix -core that aren't grindcore and pop-country ala Billy Ray Cyrus and Keith Urban.

[Tyler]

yeah you have some ground there TK, in fact I agree with you. I could not remember a kind of music I despised until I remembered them.

 

To the original Poster, why remove your opinion only to stop arguments, you are ignoring the whole idea of posting in the first place. Your opinion (Albeit Toolish) was Your Opinion so why remove it only because we don't like it?

[SanAndreasNiGGah]

1-BIEBER AND GAGA= i had to put them both at number one because they're SO OVERRATED. a Canadian fag wigger and a talentless psychotic tranny-whore.

'nuff said.

so true...

[Zook]

slipknot, any post hardcore band, any metalcore band, any deathcore band.

 

 

[Rockworm]

"ripped off black music" what does that even mean? do black people have some sort of monopoly on that kind of music?

and I agree about Soulja boy his sh*t is worse than country and thats saying a lot.

 

for the rest I haven't really heard anything to say anything about them. I don't really care to. All this Justin Beiber hate makes me laugh because I just ignore him. I still haven't heard a song of his and no desire to and thats all there is to it.

[E.A.B.]

 

lol, like eminem ripped of black music?

Elvis didn't steal black music

 

But he was certainly the only act the record producers let through. They segregated rock, essentially. Rock became 'white boy music'.

 

I'm on the fence when it comes to this topic. On one hand, pop music is catchy, and some of these artists do have good vocals. It's the subject matter that puts me off.

 

But then you have indie bands hipsters love simply because it's 'deep' and 'different', even when its just a front.

 

I don't know what to make of it.

Swap Elvis for drake in that list and i will totally 100% agree with your list there. I don't know if this is just me but why the f*ck does everyone praise gaga shes just an attention whore who makes really crappy dance music nobody will give a rats ass about in 4 or 5 years time.

[LuisBellic]

i agree with you very much on this but where is lil wayne hes a f*cking asshole i cant believe they call that bullsh*t hip hop people who call him hip hop need to listen Old School/Underground Hip Hop

[Robinski]

Just so you know, you guys who think Lady Gaga is "the worst in music" are objectively wrong. I'm not one to say people's opinions are wrong, but there are certain factors that categorise an artist as credible and good and these factors are typically agreed on by just about everyone. One such factor is having a good, strong singing voice, something which

has and more, you can't really argue against that.

 

Another such factor is writing your own music. Lady Gaga (or Stefani Germanotta as she may be credited) has written or co written every one of her songs as well as ghost writing for many other pop artists for years before coming to fame herself. You may not agree that the lyrics or melodies or whatever are that great but you have to respect the fact that it's her music and not a boardroom's.

 

A good artist has to be able to put on a good show as well. What use is well sung, personally written music if you can't entertain people while you perform it? I don't think I really need to go into the performance aspect of the whole Lady Gaga act, you just have to look at all the weird outfits worn when not performing and you can imagine how crazy the live shows get. A lot of people call this attention whoring, an angle that I can wholly appreciate, but I see it as something that makes her different (yeah, the irony of arguing about differentiation in pop music). She'd definitely stand out if you lined up all the successful pop artists from the last 30 years, except maybe against Bowie.

 

So yeah, you may not be into that kind of music, or not dig the whole "stand out from the crowd" angle but I'm pretty sure she deserves not to be categorised as the "worst in music". This is all ignoring to fact that she's just awesome as a celebrity as well by the way; openly campaigning for gay rights and condemning those who discriminate, completely focussed on the music and open about things in the media (such as her previous addiction to coke, and the fact that she still uses it).

 

Wonder how long it'll be before someone calls me gay because of my taste.

[E.A.B.]

such as her previous addiction to coke, and the fact that she still uses it).

f*cking shame

 

just look at any Lindsay Lohan pics and imagine what she'd look like in a couple of years.

 

Also, I have to ask, does she use Auto-Tune? I'm not trying to subtlety criticize her by saying that, I'm serious. If she doesn't, that's massive bonus points.

[Robinski]

I don't know much about music production, but I think she uses something like that to get robotic-like effect on the vocals on some tracks. I mean, for stuff that your voice can't do naturally. But the singing's all natural as far as I know, and she's got a hell of a voice.

 

As for the coke thing, I think she said in some recent interview that she was really messed up on it earlier in life but cleaned her act up a lot but she still uses it on occasion (I think it was something like a few times a year) rather than sucking it up like a vacuum cleaner.

listen, i only care about music quality and Gaga lacks that. her sh*t is the same recycled crap, so she's no different from other pop stars aside from the crappy costumes and writing her own sh*t. also, she's a terrible singer. i wanna kill myself everytime i hear her sing.

 

and so what if she wrote her own music? that doesn't mean it's automatically good. and what you said about her writing songs for other people has no evidence. what songs did she wrote for other artists and did they give her credit?

 

my point is, stop riding Gaga's dick. she's a man slut who only wants attention and is definetly a sell-out ever since her first single. i say in about 10 years, she'll be a nobody and will be forgotten, like Britney.

Care to enlighten us as to what GOOD music is then? I'm sure it'll be some stereotypical rap/hip-hop because you see to be the pigeonholed fan who can't at least acknowledge that there is merit in something without actually having to like it.

 

I'd love to hear some real music, you have to make sure it has some good singing voices in it though. To educate me I mean.

 

This is a genuine request by the way. I honestly want to see what your take on good music is.

[The Guru]

Gaga can't sing? I say f*ck you. Listen to that video Ats just posted and tell me she can't sing. And I strongly disagree with your comment about her being forgotten in 10 years time.

[Vanilla Shake]

Stop being a tool and riding rock's dick. I may not be the biggest fan of her, but you cannot deny the fact that she's talented and you have to respect her for at least coming up with the lyrics to her own songs. I write lyrics myself and let me tell you, sometimes it really is tricky. And unlike many pop stars out there today, she can actually sing.

 

Learn to recognize real talent. Like her or not, she has got talent.
