YOUR FAVORITE BAND SUCKS

YouTube Comments Suck

YouTube Comments Suck

Nobody asked for it but we have to deal with it so now you do, too! Today, Mark and Tyler sit down to read the best YouTube comments left over the past few years. And by “best,” we mean 99% of them are horrible because YouTube comments are one of the worst places on the Internet. Enjoy!

David Bowie Sucks

David Bowie Sucks

David Bowie is perhaps the most successful con artist of all time. You wanna hear about someone who got away with straight up grifting for like 50 years? Today we’re talking about a guy who probably would have committed infanticide if someone told him it was the only way he could ever become famous. If you’re imagining all the incredibly embarrassing and awful behavior one could expect from a person like that, buddy, it’s worse. David Bowie sucks harder than it should even be possible to suck.

The Replacements Suck

The Replacements Suck

So here’s a thought: you’re legitimately a sadist if this is your favorite band. There has never been a greater real life example of a million monkeys in a room with typewriters accidentally reproducing Shakespeare’s body of work, except The Replacements only took four humans hating how bad they were at life and their instruments for about a decade in order to make whichever four songs you believe justify the rest of this inexcusable career. Imagine being from Minneapolis and having to argue The Clash simply weren’t drunk enough so you can pretend your city matters to the history of rock music.

Butt Songs

Butt Songs

You assed for it, you got it! Okay, nobody really asked us to do an episode on songs about butts but the response to our Guiltless Pleasures playlist episode was awesome so it’s safe to assume you’re thrilled we went ahead and recorded two experiments in this format. This time we discuss 8 songs instead of just 6, which means this thing is just crammed full of butts. Needless to say, this episode is probably the most NSFW thing we’ve ever done. Enjoy!

Frank Sinatra Sucks

Frank Sinatra Sucks

Well, well, well… After several years of sidebar potshots in so many episodes, it is finally time for the original fuckboy pop singer to take a turn in the spotlight. And, look, we’re not even going to do that usual thing where we pretend a bunch of fans are going to get pissed off about this because, let’s be honest, everyone in 2021 is deeply aware of how much Frank Sinatra sucks. Anyone still listening to this trash has problems a podcast can’t fix. No, that’s not what we’re here to do today. We’re here to say all the mean things you’ve always wondered why nobody ever said about a talentless hack who absolutely deserves every word of it.

Death Grips Sucks

Death Grips Sucks
 
If P.T. Barnum had lived to hear Death Grips, he’d have updated to quote to say there are 10 suckers born every minute because there hasn’t been such a successful grift as this in the music business since at least the Sex Pistols. The “music” is obviously unlistenable because the music is always irrelevant when it comes to bands who get fast-tracked through the hype machine. But Death Grips also sucks for reasons that go so far beyond the music itself. Want to know more? If only there was an episode of a podcast you could listen to about it…
