Foghat - Zig Zag Walk featuring stuff like this: (which might be pretty god if it were a Rick Springfield song, I think he could do it better).



Tight Shoes:



And that Metallica Lu-Lu thing

Every single Foreigner album. Not sure it's that's ten or not.

Def Leppard - Hysteria
Judas Priest - Turbo
Metallica - Reload
ZZ Top - Afterburner
Saxon - Innocence is no Excuse
Diamond Head - Canterbury
Motley Crue - Theatre of Pain
Helloween - Pink Bubbles Go Ape
WASP - Inside the Electric Circus
Fate - Fate

Not the worst collection by a long shot, but I'm not really thinking Killen, I'm just thinking of records that disappointed me so much I wanted to throw them at a wall when I heard them.

Everything Phil Collins or Poison have ever made is worse than all of these.

I've heard nu-metal, core and alternative rock albums with no redeeming quality whatsoever.

I don't really see the point in trying to list them. Would I have to listen to them again to try and rank them?

Feels like a waste of time. It is after all a matter of taste, and I just don't like that kind of music.

What about NSBM? I don't think I've ever heard an album, but there's a pretty good chance I would hate it. I'm not gonna waste my time even bothering.

Inside the Electric Circus worse than Kill F*ck Die? With MetallicA's reload check out the demos alot better than the studio recordings

I like most of the albums that have been mentioned here so far. Some of the worst i've heard are Thrash Queen-Ashes to Ashes, Metallica-Lulu and St. Anger, Bride-Fist Full of Bees, anything by Nirvana and Pearl Jam(sorry, can't stand them one bit), Guardian-Buzz and Bottle Rocket and Holy Soldier-Promise Man

Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

I think punk rock has some of the most incompetent musicians. And there are some punk bands with terrible songs and lyrics as well. Nazi punk comes to mind

This is why i avoided doing a list of genres i hate. i could quite easily filled it up with AOR/Hair metal bands but I was talking about bands that ha done stuff that I really really liked and then these turds got released.

Fingers - I had stopped caring what WASP did long before KFD came along and didn't hear it (and for the record, now i have I don't really hate it) ITEC was just plain lazy aand horrible after two great records.

Thrash Queen (both the "real" one and the "fake" one)
The entire Limp Bizkit catalog
Metallica - St. Anger
Metallica & Lou Reed - Lulu

I would also add the entire linkin park catalog.

I personally dig Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park, though I can't stand pop punk bands like Simple Plan, Green Day, Good Charlotte, Yellow Card, Snow Patrol, Fallout Boy, My Chemical Romance, Panic at the Disco, etc.

I think it's because they're not a pop punk band and aren't really anything like the others listed.

Has anyone told you you have bad taste in music?

Whoa, those Foghat songs are awesome. I don't *think* I've ever heard anything besides Slow Ride. But those definitely do sound like Rick Springfield tunes. Which is a-ok with me.

While there is no question that nazi punk is terrible, as is any type of music with the word 'nazi' in it, I think the first part of that statement is one of my least favorite things I've read here. Depending when and what you want qualify as punk, it can include a good 50 years worth of bands, from around 1965 until today.

No clue what you've listened to, punk-wise, but that statement means about as much to me as someone who only listened to some NSBM demo tape recorded in 1991 on a basement using the worst equipment possible and then decided that metal itself has no merit.

Not everything that they have done, just the really really terrible albums for the reasons that I've explained ad nauseum. There is absolutely no point in just saying the genres/bands you hate but if we are going down that route.

Anything with Phil Collins in it.
Mike & the Mechanics
Anything by RATT (maybe not the EP)
Anything by Taylor Swift
Rebecca Black - Friday
All AOR
All hair metal with the obvious exception of Hanoi Rocks
Any song that has a random anonymous rapper for no reason whatsoever.
Limp Bizkit
Anything with Phil Collins in it.
