Oh man!! Even science is getting involved to tell us these bands suck!! So does this mean it’s a fact now? No… But they put an awful lot of work into this opinion…
Here was Best Life‘s strategy:
First, we scoured countless lists, message boards, and articles on the most hated bands to see which groups popped up the most frequently, eventually landing on the 21 bands on this list.
Once we had our list, we looked at five key metrics, from expert opinions to fan surveys. To start, we looked at LA Weekly’s list of the top 20 worst bands of all time. Then we turned our attention to Vice’s list of the 123 worst musicians of all time. Since the list was not ranked, if a band was on the list, it got points added to its score; if it wasn’t, no points were added. Then we looked at the top 21 most overly hated bands according to Ultimate Guitar, a popular music and guitar instruction website. Finally, we used two polls from Ranker, the 102 most overrated bands and the 421 worst rock bands of all time.
We then assigned each metric a weighted value* before running them through our exclusive algorithm to see how each artist scored on our 100-point scale Hated Band Index. Read on to discover which group was deemed the most hated rock band of all time, based on the numbers. And for another kind of art people have strong opinions about, check out The Worst Movie of All Time, According to Critics.
