A tie between Journey and Toto. Talented musicians? Hell yes. Soulless dreck? So slick that you couldn't get a stylus to stay in the grooves of their records? Check. Check. As for Exhibit A, I point out that the cast of "Glee" is featured doing a Journey song (I only saw it because my wife turned the set to that...). Which of the two is Worse? Choose between Africa or Don't Stop Believing. That is like Sophie's Choice, without the angst. These guys make Asia look good. Ow.
(If you meant they were big and just disappointed, then any "super group.")
And Harry, thanks for allowing me to Vent. (I will address your nomination of the Eagles in a future response.)
Permalink Reply by Harry on December 11, 2012 at 8:28am Stan, I love Journey! :<) For real, not goofing or for irony's sake here.
I have their LPs from pre-Steve Perry (re-packaged as a double album with the sufficiently pompous title of "In The Beginning") thru Frontiers (?.."Separate Ways", that one...)
Saw them play out twice, once opening for the Stones...pretty good live.
Of course, I also saw Asia play out, and have that album......and I love Glee....

Listen to the production values [the addition of chiming guitars especially], vocals, and guitar playing. Plus this is just a damn fine song. Hotel California is really a hallmark disk for them--writing, production, etc.

Limp Bizkit
Korn
Blink 182
Sum 41
Marylin Manson
Slipknot
All briefly popular in the late 90's-early 2000's. Just some God awful music.

They have pop songs with hooks! (Some do....they're OK by me....)

Permalink Reply by Harry on December 14, 2012 at 8:38pm Yeah but Roll With The Changes still kinda rules.....so does the first Matchbox 20 album...and "She Will Be Loved" is tolerable ;<)
My uncle (rip) used to refer to them as Oreo Shitwagon
Permalink Reply by Ron Balliet on January 22, 2013 at 2:20am Jon...early REO up to and including NINES LIVES is quite good....then they sold out with just plain dreck!!!
Bard nailed it with Jefferson Starship and Air Supply. I would add The Greatful Dead
