Some weird ones on the list but Nickelback, Creed, Hanson, Limp Biscuit I'll agree with

 

[Darth Biscuit]

These best and worst band things are so dumb.

No one anywhere has the same taste in music.

There are bands I hate that have decent songs... there are bands I love that have horrible songs...

Having said that... no way Creed is worse than Nickleback.

lots of poison and ratt fans i guess.  there are still a lot of people who hate nirvana because they think they killed "real music".

 

hanson and ace of base were harmless and i'm kind of surprised anybody remembers them.

 

limp bizkit's success, though, is still mind boggling to me.  people forget that they were the biggest band in the world for a year or two depending on how you look at it.  they had sold a million albums in a single week at one point.

Yeah one of my friends hates Nirvana, mostly out of jealousy, I suspect that's the case with most people who don't like them.

 

I'd gladly be on this list though

I will admit to listening to Limp dick in middle school before I got any sense. I think Wes was just crazy looking so I thought they were cool. Nirvana shouldn't have been on the list. I don't like them much, but they were talented. People forget sometimes that simplicity is a sign of genius.

 

Nickelback and creed are disgraces to music. Dave Matthews band is arguable, but they have some talent. Great drummer.

[Darth Biscuit]

I didn't even see DMB on the list.. lol.

I do not like their music. At all. Never have, even when they were popular. BUT... to say that they're the "worst band" of any era is ridiculous... they were extremely talented.

[Happy Panther]

I never liked Nirvana all that much. One thing a lot of these bands have in common is a raspy/gravely voice. I typically can't stand it.

 

I like DMB OK. They were so overplayed in college that it got boring. I thought their concert was decent live.

The imitations after Nirvana have definitely affected people's views on them. They were great for what they were, even if they ripped off the Pixies.

They got Hanson, Nickelback, and Creed right.

i was a big korn fan when i was younger and aesthetically stunted as many teenagers are.  even during the three dollar bill yall$ days i could barely stomach limp bizkit/fred durst and it only went downhill from that point with their subsequent albums.

 

i'm honestly shocked korn wasn't on that list.  maybe it's because their biggest hit songs weren't as egregiously bad as limp bizkit's.

I was a budding, young guitarist. Wes looked fuging crazy, and i was impressionable. But Wes is better than some people might think. Look at some of his loop pedal sessions on youtube.  I also heard Nickelback's drummer is in a funk/jazz band that's pretty good, but I've never heard of them. The bands that "make it" now just make their songs to appease the masses to get paid. There is very little musicianship in mainstream now, although i have been pleasantly surprised by some bands every now and then.

 

And I don't know why you think Korn should be on there. All things considered, they had a unique sound. 

[Bronn]

I'm as guilty as any 90's teen for buying into the whole Korn era numetal that I have grown to disdain. This includes LB, who were trendy as hell back then. I even bought Creed's first and second albums, but I blame that on the chick I was with at the time being into them.

Growing up and learning those songs (along with Nirvana's) really destroyed my hope of ever being a great guitar player. My tendencies to this day are still to do all my playing with bar E chords. Don't get me wrong, you can still do that effectively and write catchy songs and all, but I wish I'd have leaned more towards the technical side of metal back then as opposed to the numetal/rapmetal trends.

Thankfully I was never in to Nickelback. So, I can still point and laugh at people who were/are...

Of all the bands on there Nirvana sticks out as the worst F up.

 

No real reason to hate on Hootie either.
