TomFoolery Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Ha ha haI've been inspired by the OLP raggin' on the Live 8 threads.Here's the contest. What is the worst band you can think of that you'd still endorse over Our Lady Peace?I'll start off with Honeymoon Suite. Total douchebags with crap music, but they gave a bit of a shit about the crowd having fun - unlike OLP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TomFoolery Posted July 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 C'mon now. You can do better than that.OLP really eats ass. The Hip do to, but they're not even in the same ballpark of offensive as OLP. Genesis may not be your bag, but OLP is WAY crappier.Tea Party - yeah, they blow - that's a statement.I don't even know the Shaggs, but it sounds like we're entering the right league.I'm talkin'...Glass Tiger - I'd take them over OLP - at least they smileChristina Aguilera - I doubt she can spell how offensive she is - her voice is still in another league than Raine'sRatt - Old 80's hair metal and uber-cheezers - way smoother attitude than OLP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bradm Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 http://www.shaggs.comGo here and click on "Philosophy Of The World" (or any other track) for a taste of the audio.Frank Zappa proclaimed them to be "Better than the Beatles", and who am I to disagree with him?Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AdamH Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 I never knew someone to be so passionate about a "mediocre" band. Surely Tom there are far worse bands than OLP although to be fair I missed live 8 and don't have the renewed hatred that you do. So I'm gonna say most christian acoustic rock is more listenable than OLP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jaimoe Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 Bands need some kind of talent to get under my skin.Genesis does just that. Tony Banks' keyboard style and sound makes me sick in the non-jam vernacular. Phil Collins was wimpy leader of that band, and I never like Pete Gabriel either. But, I still prefer them over OLP.No band is worse than The Tea Party, even though Edwin, Diana Krall, OLP and Fefe Dobson come close.Most hated bands ever, for whatever personal reasons:The Tea PartyDepeche ModeErasureGenesisNew OrderOur Lady PeaceNickelbackEdwin with I Mother EarthEdwinThe Smiths/MorrisseyThe CureThe EaglesCulture ClubPlatinum Blonde Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StoneMtn Posted July 5, 2005 Report Share Posted July 5, 2005 (edited) After Live 8, it would be an easy choice if I had to choose between being subjected to OLP again, or seeing a reunited Milli Vanilli! (With or without dubbed-over vocals.)I'm also considering a vote for Gob who I was forced to sit through before a Cake show one time, or Moist who I saw before Neil once.

SmoothedShredder Posted July 6, 2005 Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Hey everyone enjoying focusing on the Negative!!!? Wooo-hooo, fun... BTW, what bands are all you guys in? Maybe I could be the first to tell you that you suck! hehe And I really dig that Polkadot door piano guy... and Tesla... I mean it! OLP's okay... reminds me of that time I wanted to also listen to Supersonic by Oasis near Centre St and Yonge in T-hill, and tune my snare really sharp... he's a good drummer... and they all seem to show up to the gig's on time. ~W ~W Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomFoolery Posted July 6, 2005 Author Report Share Posted July 6, 2005 Heyo SS - I play in Corduroy Road :-)Its a bluegrass band. We do suck, but we're way more fun than OLP. And, people get way more wasted at our shows - they have to!P'roo - I once saw OLP play at the campus bar at UW. They played three songs, told the whole crowd that they sucked then played another 45 minutes of mediocre music. I have had a hard time giving them credit since. I thought this would be a fun game :-) I don't hate them, I just have zero respect for them as people and little as musicians.Anyhow, I think I'd take anyone (with the exception of the Culture Club) off of Jaimoe's list over OLP.My new addition to the list is:WhamI'd rather see a reunited Wham than OLP.
