Bands Who Must Die

A fun activity for the weekend
Name 5 bands/musicians who you want to just go away...forever. I'll start:

1. Nickelback: I rarely listen to the radio, but why is it every time I turn it on I have to hear Nickelback? I'm not kidding - every...single...time. It could be a hip-hop station, or a Spanish station in the middle of Idaho, and I guarantee at some point I'll hear: "Look at his photograph. Every time I do it makes me laugh..." come blaring through the speakers. A guy I work with has the same theory about U2. He says he's heard a U2 song at least once a day for the past 10 years. At least U2 doesn't suck. Now, I'm not the biggest U2 fan, but I would gladly trade one day of listening to nothing but Bono and his sweet Dooblin pipes than one more second of Nickelback. The only thing you can admire about them is their ignorance that they don't know how bad they suck. Man...just an awful, awful group.

2. Avril Lavigne: I was hoping when she first came out in 2002 that I wouldn't have to care enough to despise her, but now it appears she is not going away anytime soon so she absolutely makes the list. I thought she was just another one of those "flash-in-the-pan" MTV acts that has 1 or 2 songs and then fades away into the dollar bin at Wal-Mart. She reminds me of those chicks in high school who only has guy friends, chews occasionally, and flips off her teacher for being 5 minutes late to class. She is literally a piece of trash with a tie. I know she doesn't wear the tie anymore, but that changes nothing.

3. Spin Doctors: I can't even talk about them they're so terrible. I won't even post a picture of them either. Utter garbage. I'm mad at myself for even mentioning their name again. Lindsay just told me she once went to a Spin Doctors concert. I am filing divorce papers on Monday.

4. Insane Clown Posse: As a hip-hop connoisseur I figured someone in that genre had to make the list. Believe me, it was tempting to throw out the obvious ones – Vanilla Ice, MC Hammer, Marky Mark, Fresh Prince, Shaq – but each of them at least has a song I like. When "Can't Touch This" comes on the radio {right after Nickelback} tell me you don't want to throw on the hammer pants and start dancing. And yeah right, like you didn't know the words to "Parents Just Don't Understand" and sang them under your breath when you're mom wouldn't let you go to the mall with your friends.

But come on, first of all, can you name a single song by them? No one can...yet many people hate them. They're like the Steve Guttenberg of the rap world. You can't think of single movie he's acted in besides Mahoney in the Police Academy series, but for some reason he just annoys you. Second, they're clowns. Most people can barely go to the circus for that reason. Third, and most importantly, they're simply horrific rappers. Zero talent...Scary...Ugly...Pathetic. Oh, and they even started their own professional wrestling organization. They're making a mockery of professional wrestling! Oh...wait.

5. Gin Blossoms: "Allison Road" came on at work the other day and I nearly stabbed myself in the sternum with an exacto knife.

Honorable Mention: Offspring, Roxette, Ace of Base, Celine Dion, Creed, Lance Bass.

Ok, now your turn.
