Live and Shudder to Think always rubbed me the wrong way and seemed really pretentious back then, and were unavoidable for a while.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen those two bands grouped together like that.
Live is… yuck.
Shudder to Think. I knew nothing of them and then saw them open for Pavement. IMO, they totally blew them off the stage. I now realize that it probably isn’t that hard to do that, but for at least a good 45 minutes I liked that band.
Sure, I'm being unfair to this band I remember disliking in 10th grade. They seemed really overwrought, is all.
I feel this thread needs more pop punk. There's got to be plenty of worst band candidates among NOFX, Blink-182, etc.

Guttermouth has got to be one of the absolute worst bands of the Warped Tour scene/era. Derivative, misogynistic, and one dimensional.
There's a less known punk band from my state called The Nobodys who were total garbage. They'd write songs with titles like "I Like Your Tits". If anyone was ever worried about a punk band being bad for an impressionable 13 year old mind, it was those guys. Ugh.

I saw that 'X French T-shirt' video in 9th grade at a friend's house and we laughed at how terrible and (we were stupid kids in the '90s) flamboyant it all seemed. After getting into Slint and a lot of math rock a few years later, I went back to that album and it became one of my favorites from that era. Don't go back to the video though..

ah yes.. I despised this band even back then, and as you might tell from ^above I was hardly enlightened. They were also just terrible musically.

4 Non-Blondes
Crash Test Dummies

Uhm besides that one song which I don't hate aren't 4 Non Blondes pretty not remembered at all? Worst ever for me has to be something that really sticks in the mind. Maybe it's me being of a different generation.
Same with Nickelback, haven't they been out of the spotlight for the last 15 years?
Anyway, mine is a Swedish band called Gyllene Tider ("golden times"). Roxette guy's first band. Liked by boring hockey-playing teenagers. My impression of them is very connected to my childhood so I don't know if an outsider gets it.
They made an attempt at an international career by recording some of their songs in English. Almost makes them sound worse.

Agreed (see Meat Loaf, upstream).

May I submit...Bowling For Soup. Dumb band name, irritating songs.

Any band in that vein is the worst band ever, I don't care which, it gets my +1.
