Definitely Steven Seagal in that reggae song he did. This one.

Someone I know listens exclusively to the Beatles on the car radio. From all the Beatles hype, it should feel like a party, but instead it feels like you're listening to jingle commercials during the whole ride.

Tom DeLonge : Blink-182

Never hit right for me. Terrible voice. Nasally and whiny. Wanna be punk. Men in their mid to late 20s singing about the drama only a 15-year-old in high school would care about or experience. It was weird.

I had no issue with Billie Joe Armstrong and Greenday. I really enjoyed their career and catalog.

Corey Feldman's Angelic 2 the Core is without a doubt the worst album I've ever listened to. It is not just mediocre or underwhelming, it is not just a "miss," it is actively and unforgettably horrible. Definitely worth checking out.

Really surprised that no one's mentioned Yoko Ono.

I posted it in reply to another comment, but I think this is worth it's own mention.

Puddle of Mud - About a Girl, live on Sirius

Easily the lead singer of Kings of Leon. That whine in his voice makes me want to chug bleach.

The worst recorded sound that I have ever heard was Kurt Cobain doing a mic check on a Nirvana live bootleg. Like a tortured cat with laryngitis.

Trout Mask Replica by Captain Beefheart and his Magic Band. It's essentially unlistenable.

Scruffy the cat.

Just the shittiest music. They were bad enough that despite it being over thirty years since the single listen I had of the one album I had, they still stand out for being bad.

Linkin Park and Papa Roach. 2 okISH bands with the worst singers in music history. Shit gives me headaches.

Red Hot Chili Peppers, best band ever, but boy is Kiedis a bad vocalist. Kudos perhaps for not doing auto tune.

Fleas energy made up for it and the songs are all bangers so it kind of pushed you over it. But if you keep focused on the vocals it's shit.

Smashmouth

My answer may not quite fit the topic. But I'll share anyway.

In the late 20-teens, ZZ Top and John Fogerty we're touring together. My wife and I saw them on the Jersey Shore (thanks VetTix!) and Fogerty opened the show and absolutely killed it. Then ZZ Top played and Billy Gibbons just didn't have it anymore. We left early.

Several weeks later they played Jones Beach Amphitheatre and thanks to VetTix we got to go again. Once again Fogerty knocked it out of the park and Billy was just not up to snuff.

It was sad.

Interestingly, Billy Gibbons is featured on one of the tracks of Slash's new album Orgy of the Damned. That track is the perfect fit for Gibbons and it holds together beautifully.

David Lee Roth. Tone deaf

Not quite the answer to your question, but Cafe Tacvba. Great music, lousy singer, like that guy says about Red Hot Chili Peppers. Jesus Christ.

Rebecca Black.

The Shaggs, but I enjoy them anyway.

David Lee Roth’s solo work… makes my ears bleed

Anyone remember The Fall?

Rest in peace, Mark E Smith, but fucking hell that was awful, but in a brilliant way

Thanks man

Puddle of Mudd and definitely Wes who's last name I don't give a shit to spell out.

Their 15 minutes of fame were long pass in the 2000s and they're one of the shit pillars that came to be known as butt rock.

I saw Hole play a show years ago and their opener was this god-awful band called Imperial Teen.

Hands-down the worst band I've ever seen.

Now, if you ask about the most disappointing concert I've ever seen, it was the Smashing Pumpkins' Horde Fest run. No one's showing up to hear you mix bongos into your songs and experiment with your music live.

Freespirit Graham.

My father used to book acts for a local club, and this guy played there once. He was awful. There's no nice way to say it, he just really wasn't very good. He played and sang songs that nobody recognised, and did it badly. To make things worse, he was paid, but went around with his hat at the end of the set asking people for money. Needless to say, he didn't get a good reception.

About a year or so later, my father booked another singer, and it was the same guy going under a different name. The music night was popular, so there was a decent sized crowd already there when he walked in, and quite a few of them remembered him. My father asked him what he was doing there, and he said that he thought it was worth a try.

He was told to leave without playing, as the people who remembered him were already annoyed, and weren't the type of people to suffer a fool kindly.

(FYI, I hold different views than this instance)

TL;DR: for me it's current russian warsongs and covers of 80-90s classics that put the opposite meaning into them. Polina Gagarina, Shaman are the most known artists due to being banned from YT, but there are dozens of them. What and why - I'd try to explain in following paragraphs.

They don't feel either inspired or honest, most of the worthy artists don't want that mark in their resume so it's left either for newbie artists or oldies who fear they are losing relevance. The western-in-everything 'Я русский' is the only catchy tune local media empires could produce, others are even more cringe like '333', they don't even compare to what repressed guys did and do.

Surprisingly, the same notion is shared with my relatives who do support the war (unlike me) or at least our men there. We still have a tradition of singing along the songs of old over the table when we meet with our elders, or over the fire if camping or meeting in the countryside, mostly soviet songs with inclusion of 90-00s. And itso happens there's none of the promoted ones in the menu.

But that also tracks with the concerts on the TV we sometimes put on. It's all older stuff by mostly aging artists. The contemporary russian music culture, as I suppose, was castrated by some sort of negative selection and I can't think otherwise.

And what is really embarassing for me personally to hear is appropriation of songs that are either anti-war or asking for changes (namely KINO's ones) sang in this day and this year by those who support both the regime and the war on state TV. That's like this one republican guy just one hair width from discovering what RatM's songs are about. There's some second-hand shame you want to wash off in a bathroom right after hearing.

Imagine dragons - cutthroat. I dislike imagine dragons as it is, but this song is so bad it sounds like a bad parody of a shitty song.

When I heard the Tool cover of No Quarter and found out the original was by Led Zeppelin I gave that version a spin too. My disappointment was immeasurable and my day was ruined.

Reason being that I really like the Led Zeppelin vocalist. But his performance on that song is just unbearable to me.

The Tool cover though, absolutely amazing!
