So new Age? not sure anyone would put KLF or Eno in there?
more Deep Forest, Enigma, Wyndham Hill, stuff for health food shops?
foo said:rock music
but not punk
or rock n roll
the loud headbanging long-greasy-hair guitar stuff.
what genre's that please?
heavy metal?

(oh jesus!)
R&B hasn't gone! the more mentions it gets in this thread, the more likely it makes the final poll.
has everyone been sniffing petrol fumes today?
YEH, one nomination per person. so if 5 people nominate R&B and only 2 nominate scouse house, then R&B is more likely to make the poll

GRRRRRRR
foo said:ok.
i LOATHE heavy metal.
so that's my nom Dubster.
But, but...
What, all of it?
I mean Black Metal is pretty crap. But there's some good Death Metal and Thrash Metal out there. Bands like Motorhead, Led Zep, AC/DC maybe, Thin Lizzy, Deep Purple are all good!
You could nominate 'hairy spandex cock rock' and I wouldn't argue.
What a question!
I need whole new subcategories of "worst" to fully deal with it adequately
Off the top of my head though, the most repugnant genre is...
...
Funky House. I'm pretty convinced it has no redeeming features at all.
Tribal house doesn't either.
Of course then there's RnB (but that does occasionally inadvertently spew forth something worthwhile)
and the mindless pap that is "hard house" (which isn't even hard ffs.)
and generally "commercial house"
oh and Hed Kandi compilations, they're basically a genre of pure shite.
Fuck it's a hard decision, thinking about it is bringing up new springs of bilious hatred that I'd forgotten I had. Anything prefixed with "latin-" has to go as well.
But umm, in answer to the question I still nominate funky house.
If, however, that's no good because it's already been put forward, please can I have Oldskool UK 2-step Garage (or whatever that shit is that has vocals, you know Artful Dodger, Craig David shite), 'cos that really is fucking dire.
E2A- yeah I know this answer is too long. I just couldn't limit myself to just one it was too hard

When it comes to personal taste I avoid identifying categories, as each genre has its peaks (even pub metal, Hollis ), although it has to be said that 'Scouse House' has occupied none for me to date.

Yeah, power ballads is a pretty filthy area.lizzieloo said:Prog Rock
But I'm seconding power ballards
foo said:Thin Lizzy were NOT heavy metal!
for god's sake. i mean Lynott was cute!
and you can sing along to their music.
heathen.
Ah, well that is the problem with nominating a 'genre' like Heavy Metal. It covers too wide a spread of guitar orientated rock. I mean Lemmy said that Motorhead were punk. Swhy I suggested maybe 'hairy spandex cock rock'.
But I'm sticking with Power Ballards.
