The 100 Lamest Bands of All Time
As Compiled By Christopher Mari & Brian Solomon
What you see before you is the product of countless lunchbreaks, coffee breaks, and train rides. Through a dedicated contemplation of the facts, we have assembled what we consider to be the most heinously lame rock bands to ever walk the earth. We both had to be familiar with a band before it could make the list, and we’ve only included groups which we felt the majority of the human race would agree were weak in the extreme. However, in the event that you’ve got a smart-ass opinion to throw at us, BRING IT ON, PAL -- we welcome a good fight!
Angry attacks and ecstatic compliments can be posted in the guestbook.
