Axiom Home Page Forums General Discussion The Water Cooler 50 worst music acts of all time

"Mawwaige... Mawwaige is what bwings us togetha, today. Wuv, twue wuv..." -- Peter Cook, as The Impressive Clergyman

Also, my mother when presiding over a wedding rehearsal a month or two ago...

"OK, we'd better stop now lest we quote the whole damn movie." -- Peter as Party Pooper

"Anybody want a peanut?" - Andre the Giant as Fezzik.

You extrapolated.

Hello, my name is .... I thought my wife and I were the only ones able to recite the whole movie. Its a classic. Love the Intellivision baseball at the begining.

I have one question about the DVD it claims to be in 5.1 yet I am unable to have it register as such. I have triple checked DVD player and the receiver for PCM output and they are both set for DB or DTS in auto modes. Any one else have this problem? or did I just get a bad disc.

Threw the DVD on and it came up in Dolby Digital 5.1

Yeah there's a special on VH1 where they're counting down the "top fifty most awesomely bad songs ever." It's pretty much that same list but interestingly the order is different on a bunch of them.

I agree with at least 90% of those. My disagreements:

There are worse Beatles songs than Ob-la-di.

Crash Test Dummies is a guilty pleasure of mine. How many other bands have a bass/baritone as the lead singer? It's easier for me to sing along, since my range is the same.

I just wonder if their definition of 'worst' equals over exposure to... Most of those songs were amazingly over played on the radio and in clubs. Though I agree that many of them when heard today induce (in me) an instant catatonic state often mistaken for a coma or precurser to a grand mal seizure to avoid actually hearing them...
