Worst songs by the best artists?

**Self Jupiter** · 08-20-2018, 09:08 AM

Sorry guys, but Styx meets my definition of worst bands. Which I define as 1. Not solo artist, we’re talking bands 2. Not a ‘joke/humor band’ and 3. Not a band that ever released a great album in the first place (because as noted, u2, Aerosmith, Jefferson starship, the stones etc have released enough BS for lifetimes of listening).

Styx shines in that definition, for mainstream classic rock at least. Maybe second to Air Supply in the category.

Is it ironic if I add Boston to your list.

Or Sweet. Or more recently Coldplay, Muse, or Maroon 5?

I’m down with all those selections. Sweet sucks!

All nu-metal bands are disqualified for being too bad

"Fresh Air" by Quicksilver Messenger Service (and virtually anything else they put out after Dino Valenti came back)

Sorry for the drift, but ETA Imagine Dragons blow

Back on track- I always thought this track stick out as pretty poor on an otherwise flawless album:

Then some of Sting’s solo career pushed the boundaries on how far the mighty can fall.

The Who - Squeeze Box. Gawd I hate that song.

Thanks for the heads up on Klark Kent. Hadn’t ever heard of them. Kind of a Devo/Wall of Voodoo sound. I dig it.

Klark Kent isn't a "them". It's a solo act with one guy doing all the instruments and vocals.. I'm glad you dig it. Fun stuff..

That “one guy” has quite a pedigree... ;-)
