What an amazing day for me. I managed to discover, all in the same day, one of the greatest songs ever, and the single worst song in the history of the entire universe!
You must be dying to know at this point, so I won't keep you in suspense. Here goes.
The fabulous song that I discovered is: "Will You Return" by the Avett Brothers. It's fun. It's catchy. It has this sort of bluegrass/southern rock thing going on. Unfortunately, that particular song isn't on their myspace page, but there are some other songs of theirs that you can (and should) check out.
And the single worst song in the history of the universe...
Drum roll...
"BYOB" by System of a Down. It's so bad that I can't even honor the song (if you can even call it a song) or the band with a link.
It's beyond bad. It's gut-wrenching, vomit-inducing, make-your-ears-bleed, it-would-be-more-pleasant-to-punch-yourself-in-the-face-than-listen-to-this-crap, pure and unequivocal horse shit!
I mean, it truly baffles me that these "musicians" (and believe me, I use that term so very very lightly here) have managed to garner even a single follower. I can only assume that the people who like this crap must have some seriously disturbing psychological disorder.
I'd like to start a petition to force these freaks to stop making "music" (or whatever it is they make).
Won't you help this worthy cause by signing your name in the form of a comment?

I agree. "System of a crap bag" is nothing but a bag of crap!
This is absolutely correct. SOAD is actually the devil. If you play their "music" from your computer, demons will actually eat your hard drive.
System of a Down not only makes real music, they ARE music, as in, they are actually, physically pure vibrational tones in the air. With hits like "Cigaro," "Chop Suey," "Hypnotize" and yes, even "BYOB," SOAD has defined itself as not only the top alt-metal band on the planet, but also as a cause for global peace, via their anti-genecide campaigns for Armenia.
AND THEY ROCK.
Oh ok. Well if by "they rock," you actually mean "they suck all that is good from the word and all the happiness from innocent little children, and they have bad haircuts and look like possessed goats and have not a shred of musical talent," well then, yes, I absolutely agree with you!
Well, it's not my first choice of music, but I don't find it nearly so offensive as you do. Actually, I'm laughing at it more than anything… you know metal bands don't really take all that stuff seriously, right? That they're deliberately being ridiculous? And no, I won't petition to stop anybody from making art that isn't unequivocally hurting people, even if it meant that The Busters and plush mealybugs would never have come into existence.
Besides which, people can like music for a wide variety of reasons. Identifying with it is only one, and if somebody does identify with those kinds of harsh sentiments, maybe it's better that they have some music to help them think about it than just being totally alone. And me, I might put it on if I just want some obnoxious music to blast while I'm cleaning, and I can see it as interesting social commentary without actually being quite that cynical myself.
Oh c'mon! Being over the top and completely absurd (while at the same time, completely meaning every word I say) is what makes me me.
Can't you just appreciate my "style" without making my head hurt by writing something thoughtful (and long)?
No, making people think instead of scream is my mission in life. You can imagine how much I hate politics. I go through cycles of following it for a while, then stopping because I figure it's better if I keep my will to live, and maybe, if I stop soon enough, the contents of my stomach.
I'm bored.
