    Sounds very similar to my Super Furry Animals experience. Sheffield Foundry, tiny venue, should be absolutely cracking. The band turn up an hour late, clearly absolutely off their collective nut. Play 40 minutes of b-sides and **** off. The audience is very confused. The end.

    10cc had a song called "The Worst Band in the World"

    The first lines were as following and you will have to imagine me singing:

    "It's one thing to know it but another to admit
    We're the worst band in the world
    But we don't give a ****...."

    I think their early stuff with Syd Barratt was their best stuff. If he hadn't had his acid trip and subsequent breakdown I reckon they'd have been a better group. After that I think they're pretty boring apart from a few songs.

    Yeah, agree with this. Some Pink Floyd stuff is excellent, the vast majority though is really hard to enjoy.

    But did they sing all the songs in Welsh? - That might have been even more confusing...

    Some really valid comments on here re actual performances and I reckon that's what we're
    Mainly on about. (Worst is subjective. when we have so many different experiences of said bands. And their popularity) I've seen Journey at The Metro Arena Newcastle. Birmingham NEC. And finally the Sheffield Arena. If the Sheffield one had been the first it would have been the last n'all. But fortunately at that gig I got to see for the first time. Thunder. (who I knew nothing about) every cloud has a silver lining.

    Owt after 2000 they all sound the same, odd exceptions….
    And believe me I’ve had to listen to plenty when the daughter takes over the car music

    Country n western ….nope

    Here’s one been touched upon in this thread already Stone Roses
    For me a 1 hit wonder, don’t get the hype
    Always assumed that generation were off the rocker on pills and having a good time they thought it was the music

    Don’t get me wrong your born into a genre of music and that’s what you like
    Im apparently stuck in the 70`s and 80`s and happily so

    Define ‘rubbish’ for me if you wouldn’t mind. Can’t play their instruments possibly?

    Worst I ever saw live was Sigue Sigue Sputnik in Birmingham the week they released Love Missile. Bottled off stage inside 20 mins.

    Royal Trux were the worst I've ever seen live - mumbled vocals and an inaudible guitar. All i could hear for the duration was the drums.

    A shame really as they're great on record

    Repetitive. Dull. Lyrically both tedious and pedestrian. Overproduced. I’d rather listen to say Ballroom Blitz by Sweet who didn’t actually play on the record.

    The law of diminishing returns. Tony Defries was the master of Bowies’ reinventions but they still needed David to carry them out. If you just play slight variations of the same thing each slightly worse than the last for 40 years it becomes unlistenable. The better artists can adapt and reinvent the rubbish ones can’t.
