OT - Worst Living Artist or Band

Submitted by InterM on

Greetings fellow music fans,

In honor of Prince and the other great musicians claimed before their time so far in 2016, I'm wondering whether we should propose a trade with the Grim Reaper?  Not that I would be so crass as to wish something bad upon someone, just because they might suck at music or make noises that hurt my ears -- but, just for the sake of argument, if something just happened to befall a living artist or band, who would you choose?

To get the ball rolling, I'll suggest Rod Stewart.  And not because he is and always has been bad at music.  No, his greatest offense is that he proved himself capable of putting out very good songs early in his career, only to continually assault our ears for many, many years thereafter.

And now I open the floor to my fellow MGoBloggers.

Kanye may be the most overrated living artist

It's not his personal life that makes me feel this way; I am just not much of a fan of Kanye's music. I liked 'Through the Wire' but can't really say I have enjoyed any other song of his.

I would not be saddened to wake up to the news that every existing member of any Mariachi or Banda style music had, mysteriously - down here it's always UFOs - had been beamed on board and are now playing for all the prior Country and Western singers that passed prior t them, if for nothing else,all the pain they cause so many people over the years.

Alright, clearly I'm WAAAAAAAAY older than these people naming Beiber (who I've literally never heard) or Kanye (who I saw and heard for the 1st time on SNL recently and couldn't fathom how bad he sucked) - but my choice would have to be posed as a question:

Are Bread still alive?

You want a mic drop, Ima leave you with "Baby Ima Want You"...

youtube that shit and I defy any of you to say ANYONE sucked worse than them!!!

Shit made "Muskrat Love" sound like Slayer - I know, I'm old...
