Lamest/worst 90s guitar band?

[Kyriakos]

Well, there are many to choose from

Whale was one stupid band, and iirc Mtv only played this video of theirs for long. For not very music-related reason

You can propose your own lame 90s guitar band.

I certainly can't think of any group that even comes close to being that bad. It wasn't even clear they were saying "hobo" instead of something a lot worse.

Grats?

 

[Kyriakos]

Borachio will disagree yet again, but Blur only had 2 min of a decent song (Song 2). The rest was garbage:

I remember this song, I used to like it quite a bit. But that's the only song those guys ever released that was any good. (re: hobo slumpin whatever babe)

You might also remember Clawfinger

One of the first vids i ever watched on Mtv!

A bit of googling and I came up with this:

Another song I didn't even know existed, like the rest in this thread so far. I guess I was too busy in the 90s doing stuff to watch much Mtv.

 

[Kyriakos]

^That isn't guitar-based, though :\

 

[Formaldehyde]

Didn't even see that requirement. OK how about this one I did know about but wish I didn't:

Pearl Jam. I'm not convinced that those who actually claim to like them aren't incredible masochists hellbent on sharing their love of pain with others.

I was surprised by this from their Wikipedia page:

The music video for "Hobo Humpin' Slobo Babe" was directed by Mark Pellington and it won the first MTV Europe Music Award for Best Video in 1994.

I watched MTV in the early 90s but I must have missed this group. Maybe they were never big in North America.

I remember when they were trying to make Joey Lawrence into a sex symbol with a pop music career while he was playing a male bimbo on Blossom. It was really sad.

That isn't a guitar band either, as you know. You might as well have posted Army of Lovers

Yeah it's a club song really.

Silly you. Blur is a great band, and not garbage.

This is Garbage (also great)

and this is Skunk Anansie

[Kyriakos]

Garbage is not garbage, though. And their singer was very hot

SA was a cool band as well, albeit a downer band.

Blur is fantastic. No matter how many times you post Girls and Boys and say it sucks, I will continue to say it rocks.

Following the herd

Blur were a good band. Parklife was a great album, though I rarely feel nostalgic enough to listen to it nowadays. IMHO Pulp were even better. This is Hardcode was excellent. I guess it helps that I was a teenager Britain at the time of the Britpop scene as it reminds me of my youth. A lot of it was though! My favourite British band from tat era was the Manic Street Preachers who I saw a few weeks ago live in Cardiff Castle.

The grunge scene had some fantastic bands (AIC, Nirvana, Soundgarden etc...) but, like Britpop, attracted a horde of grunge by numbers bandwaggoners. I always thought that Bush were a parasitical wannabe grunge band, even though they had some catchy tunes.

 

[Kyriakos]

Glycerine

In my view the following band and their hit was one of the stupidest in the 90s (and iirc it was #1 on Mtv for a while) :

The OP's song doesn't sound all that guitar based to me. Also Blur sucks, beside Song 2, they wrote nothing good.
