I know doing journals like this are old and I’ve already done a journal like this before I reset my tracks 2 years ago, but I couldn’t resist. This was also for fun.....

30. currently a 3-way tie, but I’ll go ahead and bash all of the bands that are #30….. I guess I should rename this as “call your top 32 crap”…. No screw it.

a.) CAKE- I just don’t like their cover of “War Pigs.”

b.) Devo- This band will always be known as an 80’s one-hit wonder,
sadly.

c.) Wilco- Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is far from their best album.

29. Jethro Tull- They were proof of how crooked the Grammy’s were. (Note: I’m not even a big Metallica fan)

28. Billy Joel- Compared to the music he made when he was in Attila, his music has no balls whatsoever.

27. Alice in Chains- Black Gives Away To Blue is their worst album (but it’s still decent). Yeah, other than Layne (RIP) overdosing, I can’t really bash this band.

26. Tegan and Sara- I feel like a lesbian every time I listen to their music. Not that I’m saying it’s bad to be one but you know…

25. Bauhaus- Perhaps one of the first “serious” bands that made laugh uncontrollably because of the vocals.

24. Fantômas- Make a new album already!

23. Electric Wizard- They wish they were Black Sabbath.

22. The Flaming Lips- I can never get high enough to fall in love with their songs.

21. King Crimson- Some of their songs can put me to sleep, especially Moonchild.

20. Judas Priest- They’ve made nothing better after Painkiller, excluding Turbo and Ram It Down which were just corny albums to me.

19. Blitzen Trapper- I’m surprised they haven’t covered “Jackie Blue” by Ozark Mountain Daredevils (who they wish they were, along with Wilco) yet. Also, I expect to hear some of their songs in a generic teen drama movie really soon.

18. Pixies- They still have made nothing better after Doolittle.

17. The Rolling Stones- I know it’s been said for years now but who knew that a legendary band would turn into an overpriced mummy exhibit?

16. The Jesus and Mary Chain- Psychocandy has to be the most overrated shoegazing album ever, next to an album I’ll get to in a moment when I reach My Bloody Valentine.

15. The Velvet Underground- Again, Squeeze sucked hard and it’s damn good thing that the original members (especially John Cale and Lou Reed) weren’t part of it.

14. Weezer- Man was Raditude abysmal…

13. Boris- I missed these guys when they opened for Nine Inch Nails. Damn it! :C

12. Dead Kennedys- Let’s face it, Jello Biafra was the back bone of this band. It was a smart idea to break up in 2008 because I don’t anybody was seeing through the remaining member’s bullshit.

11. Queens of the Stone Age- Way to be homophobic, Josh. Although that emo(?) douche had it coming, not the remarks but that bottle that was thrown back at him.

10. My Bloody Valentine- Isn’t Anything > Loveless (the album I was talking about in #16). Also I felt this band would’ve kicked even more ass if Dave Conway (the original vocalist) was still with them.

9. Melvins- When I saw them at The Conservatory (not at The Diamond Ballroom), I felt they didn’t play long enough. (even though they did play 2 full sets and still kicked ass). Also, I acted like a shy, starstruck retard when I actually bought a shirt from King Buzzo himself. I can’t really bash these guys either.

8. Sonic Youth- Daydream Nation is still far from their best album. Also, “Teenage Riot” = The “Freebird” of this band. (classic song though)

7. Black Sabbath- Although I’ve said Tony Iommi carried Ozzy Osbourne’s ass along with Geezer Butler and Bill Ward, after Dio left they’ve made subpar albums ever since.

6. The Smashing Pumpkins- Zeitgeist was their version of St. Anger.

5. The Beatles- Perhaps the most over-whored band of 2009. no wait, ever.

4. Modest Mouse- I’ve already said this but, ever since Good News for People Who Love Bad News, they’ve made inferior songs/albums compared to the songs/albums before.

3. Pink Floyd- Just like King Crimson, some of their songs put me to sleep. Also they’ve made better albums than The Dark Side Of The Moon and The Wall, which songs from those albums (most of the time anyway) are overplayed on Classic Rock radio stations.

2. The Brian Jonestown Massacre- This band will probably be only known for that lulzy on-stage fight at the Viper Room, after being shown on shows like “World’s Dumbest.”

1. Bob Dylan- Simply put, his vocals can get annoying if not unintentionally hilarious.
