I am looking for nominations for worst musical group or musician / singer of all time. Washed up singers or groups do not count. If a musician / group released one good song, then they are not qualified for this honor.

I am looking for nominations of people who are consistently terrible all of the time. People that have no talent, and would be American Idol flunkees.

Rap groups and heavy metal groups do not count. All of their music is terrible except for a few exceptions.

My nominees are Michael McDonald, Justin Timberlake and Christine Aguilera. They are just awful.
 
Not a musician or a group, but “all grunge, period.” Seriously, it ruined rock forever with its off-key singing.
 
We forgot - Paris Hilton (yes, she’s a “recording artist”)

Every group since 1969
 
I actually like Christina Agilera:p
Any rappers get my vote. I don’t know why it’s even considered music.
Jojo, awful voice. I agree with you on Justin. John Mayer. Jessica Simpson.
Oh, and why hasn’t K Fed been mentioned yet. he’s a joke.
 
:rolleyes:

K Fed is a serious rapper and is disqualified on those grounds. I wonder if his next girlfriend will realize that as soon as she’s pregnant with a 2nd child by him, their relationship expires.
 
Worst “singer” ever? No contest: Marilyn Manson.
Repulsive.

:rotfl: If it’s moral objections you’re looking for, there are plenty of people who make Manson look like a monk. Musically I think he’s a step or two above mediocrity.

‘Worst ever’? Wow, where do I start…? This is going to take some thought. I’m going to have to narrow it down…
  • Nothing after 1990. If they started up after then, they haven’t been around long enough to prove their awful permanence.
  • No punks. Bad punk groups either realized they couldn’t play their instruments (see Fear’s New York’s Alright If You Like Saxophones) or weren’t punks.
  • No avant-garde or noise music. You aren’t supposed to like that.
  • No rap or metal (as specified by the OP)? Hey, I actually like Public Enemy and Black Sabbath!
  • Can’t be obscure; in order to be truly terrible the music must be everywhere.
This leaves me with very few choices (I don’t actively seek out bad music). So here we go:

The Beatles.
 
THE BEATLES???

THAT’s a first !!!

I’m not wild about the Beatles, but they did have some
nice songs in their day.

Why do you think they are the worst? I’m just curious…

They’re pre-1990, they’re not punks, avant-garde, noise, rap, or metal; and they’re insanely famous. There aren’t many bands I can think of that fit all those criteria and still manage to get on my ‘not liked’ list. Sure, they’re not bad musicians, but they’re horribly, horribly overrated – and I can forgive a less-talented musician far more easily than I can an overrated one.

Hm, I forgot Lawrence Welk. Him too 😛
 
Lawrence Welk !!! LOL !!!
Hey the guy was a schooled musician, but his show
was g-d-awful, wasn’t it?
All those guys wearing Brylcream in their hair and polyester suits, and the women all in knee length dresses with
Toni Home Perms in their hair blandly singing whatever song they sang, and of course, “the bubble ma-chine”.
The Lawrence Welk Show was horrendous, but all
the condo-dwellers over 75 sure loved it long enough to keep it on the air (even in reruns) seemingly forever.

I won’t tell my mother you named her favorite singer, Michael McDonald. Thems fightin’ words around our house. I would not include him despite his bad articulation because he can at least carry a tune and has a decent tone to his voice.

What about David Hasselhoff? or Courtney Love? or William Shatner? or Teli Sevalis (not sure on the spelling but he did have a record once)
 
can’t remember the singer’s name, I think he was Irish, had one hit, a long whine about my dad beat me, my mother died, I can’t keep a girlfriend, so I am, alone again, naturally, sounded like somebody you would run away from if you saw him on the street.

MIL watches Lawrence Welk reruns on Sunday (our PBS doesn’t air Mystery but they have this instead, they can forget about contributions from me) it is literally painful the way some of those people butcher a song.
 
Believe it or not,
ANTHONY QUINN had an album out once too,
called, IN MY OWN WAY I LOVE YOU.

Know how I know???
Simple, I was an 11 year old boy and WON that (awful)
album at a contest at a local television station.
What a guaranteed way to torture an 11 year old boy,
subject him to a whole album of ANTHONY QUINN.

Sheesh.

Hey, are you counting Father Stan Fortuna in with the rappers?
Anyway, I like Slim Shady (but not the baseness of his lyrics)

How can this even be serious when this would only be your opinion? Are you doing this for fun? Are you doing this on a legit basis? Why and where are you doing this?

I happen to like Michael McDonald songs. I happen to like the old group “The Doobie Brothers” to which he belonged back in the late 70’s to '81. You must be a lot younger than I am. But then again my daughter is only 13 and she happens to appreciate good music from the 50’s, 60’s and especially 70’s.

The other two on your list I can’t stand.
