I've never heard them? Are they really that bad? I thought they were supposed to be good poppy punk....

― Matt Helgeson (Matt Helgeson), Wednesday, 3 December 2003 21:06 (twenty-two years ago)

I don't mind their earlier stuff but if you don't already have a fondness for it I can see how it would be wearying.

funny, I was just about to write exactly that re: Northern State.

― The Lex (The Lex), Thursday, 4 December 2003 02:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Blue Murder.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 4 December 2003 02:39 (twenty-two years ago)

anybody else ever seen their video "Valley Of The Kings" on VH1 Classic. I'm pretty sure Carmine Appice was in the band cuz the bass drum says BLUE CARMINE on it.

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 4 December 2003 02:40 (twenty-two years ago)

OK I've only heard this one song by the group, but it was so horrible that I can't imagine a band playing it all the way through ONCE, let alone perfecting it, recording it, it being chosen as a single and a making a video involving the band playing in front of a pyramid to an evil Cleopatra Dominatrix for it. The band evidently consisted of a guy from Whitesnake, a guy from the Firm (who wears red Hammer-pants and no shirt in the video) and Carmine Appice. The lyric I found most memorable was "we could kiss on the wind."

― Anthony Miccio (Anthony Miccio), Thursday, 4 December 2003 02:44 (twenty-two years ago)

Thursday, again.

And also, Thursday.

― David Allen, Thursday, 4 December 2003 03:02 (twenty-two years ago)

*hangs head in shame*

I bought the Blue Murder cassette when I was a kid. (and yes, they are pretty horrible)

― Matt Helgeson (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 4 December 2003 03:31 (twenty-two years ago)

Thursday is realllllly bad

― Pablo Cruise (chaki), Thursday, 4 December 2003 03:34 (twenty-two years ago)

The Eagles. Coke-addled fucks.

― Christian Rawk (Christian Rawk), Thursday, 4 December 2003 04:05 (twenty-two years ago)

Nothin' wrong with The Eagles, fool - any band that features Joe fucking Walsh is ok by me

― Mr. Snrub (Mr. Snrub), Thursday, 4 December 2003 04:49 (twenty-two years ago)

This thread is lame.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 4 December 2003 06:08 (twenty-two years ago)

the ash chick is fuckable. so they can't possibly be the worst band ever.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 4 December 2003 06:20 (twenty-two years ago)

Is this thread just Pablo Cruise's excuse to bash Thursday? They're not THAT bad. Overrated, sure, and annoying emo fuckwads love em, but there are far worse bands out there.

― latebloomer (latebloomer), Thursday, 4 December 2003 06:21 (twenty-two years ago)

the eagles would be the worst of all time, naturally.

pablo cruise was pretty dire, too.

― Eisbär (llamasfur), Thursday, 4 December 2003 06:22 (twenty-two years ago)

Haha Nate I love the fact that someone, possibly you, took the trouble to do a little picture just to post on threads like these

― DJ Mencap (DJ Mencap), Thursday, 4 December 2003 10:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Damn, I saw the OP and was like "No way. Those guys weren't that bad! I'm going go listen to them on youtube for the first time in 10 years and I'll come back and confidently post on this thread how WRONG chaki was. Yeah, that'll show him..."

But wow, they really sucked. Now I'm kinda afraid to go back and listen to Hot Water Music too.

their last album was of a piece with let england shake for me in that whole "established artist makes moody and ghostly record" vein

wish i could see what AJJ song crut posted above. i saw them way back among my first concerts and it was the first time i'd felt embarrassed for people on stage

― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 21 November 2019 16:47 (six years ago)

Our tunes are totally farm to table

― Jordan Pickford LOLverdrive (Neanderthal), Thursday, 21 November 2019 16:48 (six years ago)

i mean, 'folk punk' as a whole is an atrocity and nearly irredeemable horseshit

― global tetrahedron, Thursday, 21 November 2019 16:55 (six years ago)

I never check the wdyll threads but I tend to assume most male ILXors are physically indistinguishable from these guys.

i'm not a big xiu xiu fan but i don't really have any negative thoughts about them (anymore)

― american bradass (BradNelson), Thursday, 21 November 2019 16:59 (six years ago)

I thought this topic had to be active because of Coldplay announcing they will stop touring abroad because climate change

― maffew12, Thursday, 21 November 2019 17:01 (six years ago)

Whatever dude, once you've lived and loved the way Rockstar Mike has, maybe then you'll understand where he's coming from with his bass drum. The way he and Ian Skumfuk lock in on the live version of "DIY Orgamsms?" Fire, dude. Fire.

― Paul Ponzi, Thursday, 21 November 2019 18:49 (six years ago)

No, see, the decision to stop touring instantly bumped them up a few levels from being the absolute worst.

Whatever the 30 straight minutes of the 'thinks it's punk as fuck' but is actually RATM meets Led Zeppelin awfulness that was played at the comedy gig I was at this evening.

I shazamed one of them because it was so truly bad, Turnstile

I heard a passion pit song in a cafe the other day and it was like audio draino to my ears

― Vapor waif (uptown churl), Sunday, 24 November 2019 01:52 (six years ago)

why hate AJJ, they're sociologists who formed a band

they used to call themselves "andrew jackson jihad" but they stopped calling themselves that because they thought it might be disrespectful to islam to associate their religion with the genocidal madman andrew jackson, but they didn't want to come up with a new name so they just go by their initials now

i heard a thursday album, it's ok, but i haven't heard a lot of any-wave emo so it's possible i just have terrible taste

i don't know who the worst band ever are, i can't remember the names of the bands i like let alone the bands i don't.

― Agnes Motörhead (rushomancy), Sunday, 24 November 2019 03:13 (six years ago)

The last time I edited a music magazine I assigned a story called “Hollywood Undead Are The Worst Band In America,” so them.

― sarahell, Sunday, 24 November 2019 20:36 (six years ago)

AJJ are a fine band and I look forward to catching them with the other worst band in the world (and also emperor x)
