I saw the video for the all-girl rap trio Northern State last night & I must comment that it's the worst song I have ever heard in my entire life. I am trying to figure out what kind of people like them.

I believe it's Nothern State and yes, it sucks. Who thought taking old-skool Beastie Boys white rap and replacing them with chicks would have horrribly bad results? Of course, I can't say I wasn't entertained. Ben Matlock can back me up on this one...

As far as worst band, my vote is for that piece of shit Uncle Cracker. But I think I already mentioned that in a previous thread...

I think it can get a lot worse then Uncle Kracker.

I don't know about that. Maybe Creed and Celine Dion. That's about all I can think of.

There's a lot of rap artists that are just terrible. And the really really hardcore rock where its just screaming and shrieking is pretty awful too. I can't name any names now but after going through my brothers cd collection I'm sure I could name a few.

who was that band that has headlining DitD the night the features played, was it like The White Animals? any ways, I thought they sucked ass

Dude, Celine has some good songs. I'm not saying I like her music, but someone could do much much worse. I think Uncle Kracker is definitely among the worst in recent years. He just looks like a jackass, too.

I would rather get dental work done for an hour than listen to Celine Dion for an hour. I am not at all being sarcastic. Problem is, most dentists seem to have that kind of crap playing while they are doing the dental work.

First of all, anyone who has ever appeared on Divas with the exception of Aretha Franklin sucks.

The worst band ever? Who do I have the most hatred for? Jeez, I'd have to say that Fred Durst is probably the worst thing to happen to music (yes, music in general) in its entire history. I'm being totally serious here, I really can't think of anyone who has had such a devastating, almost cataclysmic effect on music. To me, he is music's equivalent of the antichrist. Again, I'm being totally serious. I could go into more detail but what's the point.

I guess one could say that the attorneys and record labels did much greater damage, but at the end of the day, they don't have the power to inspire impressionable kids and budding artists like a guy like Fred Durst.

I think she's a great vocalist.

roadie -i couldn't agree with you more.

ive gotta say that creed gets an honorable mention. i mean, they suck so much, they're getting SUED for it. what does that tell ya?

So true in my experience, Keith. But then again, don't we go to the same dentist? It's always Mix 92.9 there, isn't it? I'm not kidding when I say that certain Michael Bolton songs have an almost Pavlov's dogs-type effect on me from hearing them so often at the dentist's office - I get really uncomfortable and start squirming...

Yeah, roadie, Limp Bizkit sucks. But aren't they (and Durst in particular) just kind of a joke at this point? I mean, how pathetic was that whole Wes Borland-replacement episode? And the Britney Spears thing? I'm not sure how much the kids respect him anymore.

But he might show up here and start defending himself if we don't watch it.

Creed? By themselves, they are only mildly offensive to me. But viewed in the context of today's music industry as the band that launched a thousand terrible other bands and made the crackermouth vocal style a prerequisite for getting on rock radio, Creed really makes my blood boil.

Yes, Scott Stapp, you should surely thank God when you win all of these awards, but I'm still waiting for you to thank Eddie Vedder...

limp bizkit sucks a fatty. i have a funny story about ole limp bizkit.
back in 1996, i was sitting in english class and this moron that sit behind me was going on and on about this great band he saw last night. this band is fucking awesome!!!! he kept saying. i bought their demo they rock! these guys are going to be the biggest thing real soon. i turned around and asked what the name of the band was and he said "limp bizkit". i remember remarking about the name and making a few jokes. i though that name sound retarded and never thought much of it until about a year and a half later when those stupid fuckers are all over mtv. its amazing how wierd things like that pan out. very starnge. i remember flashing back to that exact day and rmembering moron guy going on and on about how these guys are the greatest band. fuck them!

Not anymore. I don't like the new guy. My new dentist is Dr. Jolly. Yes, Dr. Jolly.

my dentist plays oldies 96.3 in his office. when "sugar shack" came on, he commented that i must've visited the sugar shack. cavities. no matter how much i brush and floss, i always have cavities.

Even Elton John!?!

the new jewel song is the worst song I'VE heard ever!

I think dental health is linked to genetics more than oral hygiene. My family has always had really good teeth. I eat sweets all the time so last summer when I went to the dentist for the first time in seven years (no exaggeration), I was expecting really bad news. However, everything was fine. No cavities or anything. Heredity rocks!

I forgot to add that Serotonin is the worst band in the world.

I eat an incredible amount of sugar but have never had a cavity. Knock on wood.

Funny you mention it carl, but I was just telling someone the other day that Crocodile Rock may be the worst song i've ever heard. I (literally) would rather listen to fingernails on a chalkboard.

The only Elton John songs i can take are rocketman and the new one that sounds like the beatles with Downey in the video. Yes, I'm familar with the catalog.

T.A.T.U. gets a vote from me

i hate uncle cracker as much as i hate david gray, and that is a lot

crocodile rock is awesome, and i don't care what anyone says

Okay, Smee, you were right. It is Northern State. I swear to you they misspelled it on M2 the other night.

We're both right in saying they suck and apparently we're not alone.

I actullay have to admit that I like tatu, that song "all the things she said" is very catchy and is fun.

Plus, they're hot lesbians with cool accents, which goes a long way with me.

Well, they're not really lesbians, but they play ones on TV. That's just as good for me.

they aren't?

You mean some record label would form a pop group consisting of two hot teenage girls from Russia and market them as being lesbian lovers? That's absurd.

Even worse than Barbara Ann or Rhonda by the Beach Boys?

im not positive about this, but im pretty sure there is a thread on these girls and i give a fairly nice rant about my feelings on fake lesbianism.

i must say, i grew up in jackson, MS and they played songs by celine dion ALL THE TIME in my dentists' office too.

i think its universal.


oh yeah, staying on topic, kid rock rules












. . . my balls.

the new liz phair song sucks......

i used to like her (i think exile in guyville is excellent and whip-smart is very good as well), but she sounds like avril now.........

I haven't heard any songs from the new Liz Phair album, but I hear it's pretty abysmal. Pitchfork even gave it a 0.0 rating, and said it was one of the worst albums ever! Oh well. she used to be good...

By the way, I like your Pavement quote Ray. That's a good line.

Okay, I have to report that I just heard the Northern State song "Trinity". Holy shit, this song is so funny! I'm starting th think these chicks have something to offer after all. So, to answer the question you posed so long ago, Smee, I think I am the kind of people that like them.

On a related note, the "rebel girls" channel on VH1.com radio flat out rules. They're playing Cibo Mato right now.
