Worst Band To Play Woodstock 99 [Bands Not In Whiney's Poll Edition]

mike ness? planet drum?

3rd Bass made it to '99?

i'm sure nine inch nails was up in there

i wanted to vote RATM just to piss whiney off, but then i saw that sheryl crow was on there and knew the true path of my heart

i'm sure nine inch nails was up in there

Woodstock '94.

Toss up between Collective Soul and Bush. Actually, fuck it -- Collective Soul. They were indefensible.

i vote bush.

Wait, how were the Stero MCs not at this?

Woodstock '94.

oh duh. i remember because i had a dubbed vhs tape of it that i sold to a dude who later became my best friend in hs.

this is a great poll idea, FYI

No idea how Collective Soul didn't make the cut in my poll!

this was the 3rd Bass reunion. They were the very first act to play at Woodstock 99 iirc and played on the stage on the tarmac

i'm prolly gonna have to go with Counting Crows

Chemical Brothers, most of the other bad acts are just ZZZzzzz, Chembros would have driven me out of earshot, even if it meant going 10 miles away or something.

Honestly, given how far they'd fallen from their glory years by this point, I'm gonna vote for George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars. I remember watching this on cable and they were searingly awful.

rhcp

Wait these were the decent bands?!?!?

John Entwhistle???

voted for entwhistle... roast in hades motherfucker *blasts some bizkit*

why not vote for James Brown while you're at it

heh maybe i will *blows youre mind*

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck, overlooked DIS FUCKING GUY when voting earlier :-(

Oh wait no, that was the other Woodstock poll. Hahaaa Jamiroguy, gotcha!

this was the 3rd Bass reunion. They were the very first act to play at Woodstock 99 iirc and played on the stage on the tarmac

kinda lol but mostly sad

Collective Soul will walk this.

Yep, Jamiroquai. I probably would have tried to burn the place down too

John Entwhistle???

Actually, the John Entwistle Band didn't play on the main stage, but rather on the (um...) "new artists" stage.

I had no idea Beastie Boys were there. Surprised about Pulp and Muse.

It's kind of incredible this disaster ever happened.

Unfortunate capper to a Woodstock III press release announcing the line-up.

Woodstock may have had the magic; Woodstock III has the muscle.

Did anyone on ILX actually go?

Woodstock 94: I SO FUCKEN MAD I couldn't go to this. It had an amazing lineup that I'd still go to see if it was happening today. But I was 14 and in Florida. I had no way to go. I watched the whole thing on pay-per-view, no shit.

Woodstock 99: I was finally old enough to drive a car to a festival and the lineup was a total shitshow. I was pissed.

Like Bob Dylan vs. Creed. Get the fuck out of here

I was in NY staying at my Aunt's apt during woodstock 94. She had some illegal cable hook up with free pay per view, so I got to watch a lot of the sets, most memorably nine inch nails.

Fucking 94 had Aphex Twin, Deee-Lite, Salt-N-Pepa, Cypress Hill, Youssou N'Dour, Gil Scott-Heron and like seven bands that played the original Woodstock. And now you give us Full Devil Jacket, fuk u

can't find the order bands played woodstock 99 in, would like to see just who played before and after pulp

I literally stayed indoors and watched 94 all weekend. My fave band at the time was Primus, and I remember them cutting from CSNY to show the mayhem goin down for them.

I really wanted to play in the mud :(

Jamiroquai. (Though I've never knowingly heard Mickey Hart/Planet Drum, so who knows.)

I think it has to be sheryl crow for me.

i was going to vote for RHCP or RATM, but there's worse bands even on this list

also here is a clip of mickey hart's 'planet drum' apparently

this poll is just as hard as the other one, but for different reasons. my vote goes to bush. complete crap, and people still listen to it today for some reason.

Going with Costello.

Moby.

Bush for the win

People still listen to Bush????????? ;_; x96

Jamiroquai

Not you too.

yeah sorry I gotta go with Jammerocky too.

Honestly, given how far they'd fallen from their glory years by this point, I'm gonna vote for George Clinton and the P-Funk All-Stars. I remember watching this on cable and they were searingly awful.

― unperson,

Ok so is this when you're supposed to use the term "challops?"

The Woodstock 99 simulcast was played on K-Rock that weekend, and I recall driving from family's house to a friend's house that afternoon in the midst of Bush's set.. It was actually while listening to this that I decided I didn't hate them.. I went a few years hating their dumb asses up until then.. There are far worse bands that played at this show.

Jamiroquai hate will always mystify me. Especially when there's someone humorless and self-aggrandizing like Moby to be taken down a peg or ten.

I thought Moby used to crack jokes..

If Animal Rights counts, yeah.

Sadly that was a non-joke, although his performance of "Revolver" was pretty lolz.

Especially when there's someone humorless and self-aggrandizing like Moby to be taken down a peg or ten

Right but that doesn't make his music worse than Jammyroxy's. Or inherently bad.

I don't hate any of these but Counting Crows have a really annoying name and while "Mr. Jones" was a pretty good single they've many more execrable moments, e.g. "Raining in Baltimore"; they named an album This Desert Life; and they covered "Big Yellow Taxi" in 20-fucking-02.

Whiney thought Bush was a decent band??

I voted for Bush.

Counting Fucking Crows

Voting Jamiroquai in the hope that one day he'll find this poll and it'll make him cry. Sorry if that makes me a bad person.

It's hard not to vote Jamiroquai really. Mike Ness is pretty unforgivable too - don't know why he's on this poll and not the other one. My only other choices would be Muse or Pulp who I've never knowingly heard, but strongly suspect I would hate.

Not voting for Jamiroquai is so, so easy. I don't know what is wrong with you people. I bet Bruce Hornsby really tore it up. Was The Range there too, or just solo Hornsby?

Right but that doesn't make his music worse than Jammyroxy's. Or inherently bad.

No, if anything, his arrogance masquerading as Zen humbleness is the only thing compelling about his zzzzzzzzz elevator grooves.

I kind of like Jamiroquai.

They like to JAM and they like IROQUOIS Indians.

^^^this statement always cheers me up

would take Jamiroquai over half the acts here

jamiroquai too boring to get worked up over. I can easily imagine being at a fest, jammy playing, and NOT EVEN NOTICING.

i have been to a jamiroquai concert within the past two years and thus feel fairly justified in my hatred of them but they are still not the worst act on this list

it's kind of amazing that there isn't a Woodstock '09 headlined by Kings Of Leon or some shit happening right now

not really, what with the countless festivals not tainted by riot and rape out there to put on

They like to JAM and they like IROQUOIS Indians.

^^^this statement always cheers me up

Deliberately calling Jay Kay Jamiroquai always cheers me up - no fun in calling Gavin Rosdale 'Bush' so I'm going to vote for them

anthony the gathering of the juggaloes still happens every year

I can't believe this many people think Collective Soul is better than Bush.

I WAS THERE!

I'm going to have to go with Bush or that-era Metallica. Didn't go to see Collective Soul, but somehow they seem less sinister than Bush or that-era Metallica.

Yeah, Metallica circa '99 was pure shit, so them.

Only thing that was good from that whole fuckin' terrible time was The Roots--I think they played right before Godsmack. That and I liked Fatboy Slim back then.

I'm pretty sure limp bizkit was there.

Yeah, Metallica circa '99 was pure shit, so them.

Fixed!

wyclef wins it. if anyone votes pulp, they should die.

Wyclef is awesome Jamie, WTF!

Classic of all time

This was 3rd Bass' reunion. Yet another reason they get my vote.

Yeah, Metallica circa '99 was pure shit, so them.

Fixed!

True. Thank you for correcting me... I just meant that that period Metallica was significantly worse than the other periods of Metallica, which I don't like either.

collective soul, bush in close second.

i like some of jamiroquai's music from the '90s, though i think even by '99 the dude was weak. i can't vote for collective soul even though they have that horrible video with the would-be jumper who stops because of a dirty pigeon landing on his shoulder.) bush is horrible but i can't vote for them for the same reason i can't vote for CS: they are not counting crows.

Even though I was in high school in Syracuse during this, I didn't go; instead I worked at CompUSA at the mall that weekend and sold a Chemical Brother a laptop (but not, to my dismay, the ripoff extended warranty).

So them, I guess. I could have used the commission.

I'm so mad I didn't include Counting Crows and Collective Soul on the other thread

The chorus of "Come Down" is awesome. I don't give a fuck.

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

Counting Crows

Automatic thread bump. This poll's results are now in.
