First off, System of a Down is NOT fucking nu-metal. They don't rip off Korn or Disturbed. They are their own damn genre. They also don't suck at all. =)

I would say any HANSON song. (remember them?)

Also, there's a side project of Mindless Self Indulgence called The Left Rights, and it sounds like little kid music gone horribly wrong. They go on about nothing and switch beats constantly. Some people like them, I think they're sorta cute, but they still don't make any damn sense.

Let's see, what else...
Brutal Truth
The Berzerker (death metal with breakbeats)
Any crust/grindcore
Insert guttural death metal band here
EMO!!!!!!!
Anal Cunt
Marduk (fast as hell black metal)
any prepubescent pop punk (Simple Plan, New Found Glory)
Christian Contemporary (come on, even Christians say it sucks!)
drum n' bass (jungle)

I think a combination of those artists would drive people out of there like they just saw Missy Elliot in a Frederick's of Hollywood bustier.

ARGH.

Word, infinity, LMG.

I'd like to add a few extras, however:

1) "Feelings," by whoever-the-hell-sang-that-song.
2) The Barney "I Love You, You Love Me" song.
3) "I Will Always Love You," as performed by Whitney Houston.

Their guitar-work is pretty excellent,

this a joke?

As for the genre there are some extremely talented, and yet musically under-appreciated

sounds like you dont' like music much.

Nu-metal is total shit. The fact that bands like Limp Bizcuit can even pass their suff of as guitar-work, much less good stuff shows how sad the mainstream has gotten.

Any middle of the road metalcore or metal band would destroy the best of the "nu-metal" without a sweat.

Tiny Tim

I'm not sure if he's classified as music or pain?

I work for the Community Relations department for the local Hockey team (yes...Hockey in San Antonio, absurd, I know) and there is this HORRID song they play when the Zamboni comes out during the first intermission. It ranks right up there with the dueling banjos. The lyrics depict the tale of some inbred rube's burning desire to ride a Zamboni. I have no idea what it is called but it makes me want to run screaming to the nearest clock tower.

How can we forget the great Tiny Tim tip-toeing through the tulips?

Crispin Glover covering "These Boots Were Made For Walking". Imagine Sesame Street Muppet Grover singing in a drunken manner.

Anything by Eilert Pilarm. For those that just needed to hear what a Swedish Elvis Impersonator sounds like. Eilert doesn't speak English, so he impersonates Elvis phonetically. Yalehouse Rock is very special.

I'll second Klaus Nomi. "I Can't Help Falling In Love With You" comes highly recommended as a room clearer.

Piledriver: The Wrestling Album II. I'll confess that I actually own the video of this album. "Girls in Cars" by Robby Dupree will cause any man's testicles to shrivel. Mean Gene Okerlund's version of Rock 'n' Roll Hoochie Koo doesn't need any elaboration beyond giving the title and the performer.

Continuing the wrestling motif T.L. Hopper's theme (toilets flushing), Bastion Booger's theme (random belches & farts) and the X-Factor "Yo, you're dealing with the X-Factor" theme will get stares before the departure.

Yeah!
I haven`t heard that in years. Crispin Glover has to be one of the most fucked up guys on the planet. Remember when he went on David Letterman with those giant shoes and board covered with rubber vaginas?
"I can kick! I can kick!"

Or that song "Daddy is so mean" he sang on the movie "Twister".
Priceless!
