oh, it is soo good.
the songs they sing are very clever, but the studio banter is the true genius of the album.
i cannot accurately describe how amazingly funny it is.
Lyrics to Drink Till I Die
Give me another drink, mister bartender
If you don't I'm gonna stick your dick in a blender
Coz I, oh I
I'm going to drink till I die
I'm going to drink till I die
All I wanna do is drink as much as I can
That's why I'm a member of a heavy metal band
Coz I, oh I
I'm going to drink till I die
I'm going to drink till I die
Lager makes me happy
Vodka makes me mean
I'm a heavy metal drinking driving alcohol machine
Listen to me drinking
Drinky drinky drink
Listen to me when I go blehhhhhhhgh!
I, oh I
I'm going to drink till I die
I'm going to drink till I die
I get up in the morning drink a bottle of gin
40 pints of lager and a babycham
Coz I, oh I
I'm going to drink till I die
I'm going to drink till I die

what about Bad News?
not stricky a rock band - more of a rock parody.
Rik Mayall, Adrian Edmonson, Nigel Planer (all of Young Ones fame) and Peter Richardson.
their one album consisted of 4 songs, "Drink Till I Die," "Masturbike," "Hey Hey Bad News" and a horrendous cover of "Bohemian Rhapsody" and 13 tracks of them attempting to plug their amps in, drinking, and arguing about who is the worst member of the band.
it is absolutely hilarious - phenomenally funny.
but worst rock band of all time - quite possibly.

He HAS to be ironic though. Either that, or he's 8 years old.
I'd go for ironic.
Worst rock band... What about The Shaggs? I know they have cult status, including among people I admire (Rob Crow), but come on, have you TRIED to listen to their stuff?

True, but you'd be better than someone with no enthusiasm whatsoever, and there are plenty of them in the music industry.
I still don't see what's wrong with Queen, but hey, to each his own.

Weird, the link seems fine to me... But it's just the review of allmusic.com anyway.
Review by Stephen Thomas Erlewine
Many critics, fans, and college students have spent hours debating the serious question of what the worst album in the history of rock actually is. One listen to Attila would provide them with a definitive answer. Attila undoubtedly is the worst album released in the history of rock & roll — hell, the history of recorded music itself. There have been many bad ideas in rock, but none match the colossal stupidity of Attila. There's a reason why they're the only heavy rock organ-and-drums duo in the history of rock & roll — it's an atrocious combination. Organ and drum combos work well in jazz, because the musicians know how to balance the dynamics of the two instruments, but in this group of Huns, it becomes an unbearable, unholy noise. Billy Joel decided that the only way a keyboardist could compete with the guitarists popping up in Hendrix's wake was to rig his organ with piles of effects pedals, Leslie organs, distortion, and wah-wah — and use them all at once while he yells, not sings, and Jon Small flails away haplessly at his drums. It's impossible to make out the riffs, since the organ just sounds like a wall of white noise, and there are no melodies, only shouting. Everything is turned to 11 — because it's one louder than ten, innit? — and even when the group tries out a different, slower style, it still sounds the same, because the instrumentation, attack, and effects never change. By the end of the album, it feels as if a drill has punctured the center of your skull — it's that piercing, painful, and monotonous. Joel has gone on record describing the results as "psychedelic bullsh*t." Remove the word "psychedelic" and you have an accurate description of the album. [By the way, Joel and Small are dressed as Huns on the cover. For some reason, they're standing in a meat locker. It's as if the duo unconsciously knew they were creating the most ridiculous album package in rock & roll history.] |

Although I've never heard them, my vote goes to Attila, an early 70's heavy metal duo with only organ (played by Billy Joel) and drums. They only made one album which was apparently a serious contender for the worst one ever, so that would make them the worst band ever I guess. The reviews are so bad, they actually make me want to hear that album.

Don't forget, Starship build a WHOLE city on the basis of rock and roll. That's at least some kind of achievement! |
| geertos |
Posted - 05/12/2005 : 00:17:08
That last one should be Starship, the previous Jefferson Starship / Airplane.
There seems to be a consensus about that song as worst song ever, but I can stand it. It reminds me of "Clouds across the Moon" by the Rah Band, another piece of innocent childhood memories. |

Journey, Foreigner and whoever did the "We built this city on Rock and Roll" song. That is just plain (and) awful.

Dont ask me how I ended up here (replacing some old CD's I lost in a fire), but, saw this jackass give Trompe a 1-star scathing review and wondered what the F this guy liked. Here are the 4 CD's he reviewed for Amazon. It also reveals my pick for worst band. The kids are NOT alright...

Van Halen....(I hope I don't disrespect any fans) |
