Love them or hate them, you have to respect what Genesis did. Mastering quite different music styles takes guts and talent. How many other bands went from Prog to New Wave to Synth Pop to Space Rock and did it successfully? Queen and Rush are two others I can think of who adapted to the music styles of the day and remained successful, but there aren't many who did it as well as Genesis. And don't forget FIVE of the members of Genesis also had successful solo careers. How many other bands can say that?
Genesis always rocked. Not every song, but every album had enough good stuff that it was worth buying. The same is true for Gabriel's and Collins' solo work.
Hell Invisible Touch was HUGE and loved by everyone... and almost every song was played on the radio, in commercials and even in episodes of Miami Vice.
@@ryan89554 Great album. It was released in 76, so I think I'd argue that this work alone means they do not in any way belong on this list. Also I think Wind and Wuthering is equally terrific, and that came after Trick of the Tail, so I disagree with your statement in that regard.
Amen to that! to me all music genres have nose dived since the late 70s, main reason it has become to corporate, to homogenized and to little artist driven. It peaked in the mid 70s, and by the 90s has gotten worse like a rocket sled on rails to the musical wasteland of today.
Are they the same as “millennials”? Why should music require to be understood. Let it speak for itself. Coherently, unambiguously, sensibly, unsensationally.
How Genesis could be on a list of the "Top 10 Most HATED 1970s Bands" is beyond me, especially for that decade when they were at their best. With the departures of Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett, they "sold out" in the 80s but were still better than a lot of bands.
@@cypherglitch Some people think it was Phil that pushed the band towards more of a pop bent, when every member of Genesis has said it was Tony Banks who had the largest controlling stake in the musical direction of the group. Saw them live (finally) on the Last Domino tour a couple of weeks back. Phenomenal and a packed house of thousands. Phil got insane amounts of love from the crowd. Struggles to walk, but vocally he's as good as he ever was.
Personnally, I liked them better as prog rock band, back in Peter Gabriel and Steve Hacket time, than a pop-rock band afterwards. But thing is they became a top band in either genre and time, regardless of each one's opinion (including mine). So... among most hated bands? My ass!
They did the slow death after Gabriel left - a group that went stale and the last 3 could not make good rock , Abacab or whatever it was was my biggest disapointment i my life and I bought a lot or records -so thanks drummer in genesis that can do shite songs
I can't believe Genesis was on this list. I liked both Peter Gabriel AND Phil Collins. The song "Mama" on their first album w/ Phil Colloins was and still is one of my favorite Genesis songs. Now the Archies (Sugar Sugar) would have been a better choice, even though that dreadful song was on the Top Ten back in the day. I agree Disco Duck should have been on there too. Not a grat choice for Rick Dees, who wasn;t such a bad guy in real life.
Genesis, one of the best groups ever. The fact that Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Mike and the Mechanics, and GTR came out of Genesis, speaks for itself. Supergroups formed from Genesis. Unbeknownst to me why they appeared on this list.
@@allywilkeforsenate They were a band founded by GuiTaRists Steve Hackett (ex-Genesis) and Steve Howe (ex-Yes, Aisa). They had this one hit in 1986 titled "When the Heart Rules the Mind".
You are WRONG about Genesis, just flat out wrong. Get older people to do this. WHY is a photo Buckingham/Nicks on this. That was a fantastic duo with a wonderful album. Stevie Nicks' voice is gorgeous with all excellent songs on that slbum. They sold out concerts where I live every time they played here and EVERYONE has that album. They had one album because they joined Fleetwood Mac.
I think that was a limited-edition album. It cost me fifty dollars in a used record shop back in 1988. I really liked to compare it with earlier & later Mac albums, as it was both the genesis of Lindsay & Stevie, as well as what would the most productive era for Mac. Great album...
He left in 75. Still, even when Collins took over, Genesis was a well respected band. It wasn't until Phil Collins went solo in the 80s and started releasing all those schmaltzy songs that people turned from his music.
Brian i have never been out ANYWHERE and heard someone say lets jam some Genesis. Peter Gabriel had to dress like a girl. It was the only way to get talked about. It wasn't the music.
@@B.G.216 Genesis wasn't for the average jam. Just like Rush, Dream Theater, or Jethro Tull, Genesis performed music with polyrhythms, key changes, and guitar riffs in constant variance. It's a musicians band. Van Halen and Iron Maiden cite Genesis as an inspiration as did Queen. Genesis sold over 100 million albums. Somebody's been jamming.
yes, but when Peter Gabriel left they spent most of their efforts trying to figure out how to write generic pop songs to keep themselves in the charts. I still recall hearing the guys from pink floyd mocking them in a radio interview back when they had the hit song "i cant dance" on the radio. everyone was laughing at it even though they made a ton of cash, their integrity was gone. it rolled down Salisbury hill and into the gutter.
I couldn't believe Genesis was on the list. The Captain and Tenniel were OK too. Certainly not terrible. Both of these bands were very popular at the time.
You couldn't be more right. I never cared for Genesis myself, but they were, and still are today, very popular. Comparing Genesis to any of the other acts on this list is laughable.
@@mwright9106 I had the opportunity of meeting Genesis when I was real young. They definitely don't belong on this list and they aren't a one hit wonder. They stood the test of time.
There’s no way that Genesis belongs on this list. Keyboardist Tony Banks is a under rated talent that while not as flashy he’s every bit as good as Rick Wakeman, or Keith Emerson. And man, that narration voice, ugh….
@Auras Sparsas The Retard But the subject was worst bands of the seventies, not the eighties, which would include all of the albums with Hackett and most of the albums with Gabriel.
@Auras Sparsas The Retard Kind of similar to how Jefferson Starship and especially the Starship, music unfairly tarnished the legacy of Jefferson Airplane.
@@MichaelRei99 judging music is subjective. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it bad. I don't like Country music but it's a billon dollar industry. Meaning YOUR comment is void of merit. Back to your narrow minded existence.
Screwed over a sell out Glasgow gig. Cancelled completely. They reorganised the London ones...but thought screw Glasgow! Haven't listened to them since and never will. Screw them all
Yeah... to put Genesis on the list just jab the whole video clip in the trash bin. Genesis has no place in that list, it's just ridiculous and silly at the same time.
Genesis on a list like this?? They were awesome as a prog rock band with Gabriel at the front. The switch over to more radio friendly music with Collins as a singer worked like a charm and they have so many great songs.
Well, definitely not Genesis. That was a surprise to even see on here. They certainly were not my favorite band back in the day, I was more of a hard rock person, but I certainly enjoyed the group.
Genesis’ progressive era was amazing. They’re in a totally different league than your other picks. There are a lot of other potential sappy untalented pop artists you could have chosen.
Even if you did not like Genesis, or Phil Collins, the band would never have endured and have hits after the 70s, if they weren't good. Should have gone after the sappy band, Bread.
@@greenman8 Kinda shocked on kicking around Genesis? When I scored tix at Meriwether-Post Pavillion in late 70s, all the guys in the dorms were jealous! Whoever put Genesis on that list must've missed out on Boise Sound Systems -- They Rocked in Loud Stereo!! Philth Collins was definitely better in Genesis -- his solo 80s trite cliches were almost worse than Brian Adams... couldn't turn on radio without hearing one or the other... Bread was pathetic gooey syrup-ee $hit -- eegads!
Agreed on Genesis not belonging on this list. Granted, I was a teen in the 80's and that's when I discovered them (thru MTV), but I can sure bet they wouldn't have made it to the 80's had they sucked in the 70's. Peter Gabriel wouldn't have had a career, nor would Phil Collins, Tony Banks, or Mike Rutherford.
The first side of their self-titled album, "Genesis" (1983), is freaking genius. _Mama, Home By The Sea, and That's All._ I literally wore the tape out from overplay.
Hell Invisible Touch was HUGE and loved by everyone... and almost every song was played on the radio, in commercials and even in episodes of Miami Vice.
But it was perfect in the premiere episode of WKRP In Cincinnati, sung by a mock version of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Especially with the needle scratching it as the station format changed mid song.
I saw Genesis in the in the early 90s for their We Can’t Dance tour, Oakland Coliseum. The place was PACKED. We were up so high we had to watch them on the Jumbotron screen. 😂 I’d hardly call that a terrible band that peaked in the 80s. 🙄
The GENESIS TRICK OF THE TAIL album was the best album where all the songs were fantastic and a type of phantasmagorical trip in a magical world. Although many of these songs may be considered bad, the beauty was that they all "took a chance" and expressed themselves without reservation and they made a mark in the rock and roll world even if just for one time.
The 70's was an interesting decade to say the least and the diversity within the rock music genre was definitely at it's peak. You had everything from Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath to the Carpenters and Bread.....and everything in between. Oh, and what was considered a cultural blight at the time, disco. It was a pretty good decade if you just wanted to just go 'do your own thing'. As someone who was there AND remembers it, I would take the 70's over today in a heartbeat.
& even tho we were “hopelessly razist” everyone got along much better then today, had every group you could think of represented & life was good, whole lot of lies bringing our nation down, it’s time us old timers call bs on these kids who “promise will get communism right....this time” I’d say craps bad enough as is, time to pull out the B squad & let the A team back in
Genesis is one of the best bands ever! They were ahead of their time. Members of that band went on to successful careers because they were all talented. Peter Gabriel is one of the best for sure...
@Auras Sparsas The Retard Like no other bands have been booed? What about JOhn Lennon saying The Beatles were bigger than Christ? But they are still regarded as probably the best band ever? Get a life and research other bands before hitting on one band!!
@Auras Sparsas The Retard So 1981 actually occured in the 1970s ? You are doing some serious time travelling to suggest that. Try to stay on topic if you can
@Auras Sparsas The Retard Duchess, Abacab, Misunderstanding, Man On The Corner, No Reply At All, Turn It On Again... what a fantastic collection of great songs during that concert. The comments section totally negated the significance of the booing. One really terrible song Who Dunnit does not negate the rest of the concert. And that was a badly performed No Reply.
Very well crafted songs and you had to live through it to really understand. I played Canada and Alaska in an all 70s and 80s band and everyone had a ball. Great crowds and loads of just plain FUN1
The band went from Prog Rock under Peter Gabriel to Pop under Phil Collins. They're two different bands. The split was bound to happen. Peter Gabriel got all the kudos even though everyone put in the work. And Peter Gabriel was getting too abstract for the rest of them. If you like early Genesis, you like Peter Gabriel's solo albums. If you like later Genesis, you like Phil Collins' solo albums.
@@SidneyBroadshead I think the we hate Genesis brigade, of which I am one, really dislike the split and feel that Phil just blatantly sold our to get some money or that they never really were prog and just did it to get known and then left that scene. Clearly they are all excellent musicians. When they get berrated, I think it is over some exceptionally comercial pop music in later years and some of the earlier fans feel betrayed.
Same here - 1970 (Trespass) to 1976 (Wind and Wuthering) was some of the best prog ever made. Then they changed their style to softrock/pop, but still with some of the elements from their past present in the music. Some of the prog-fans never did forgive them that change in style, but to put Genesis on a list like this, is sacrilege!
Yeah, right? Genesis with 18x platinum total sales distributed over the course of six albums, and ten top 10 hits certainly qualifies as some of the most hated music. 😉😆
Calling them crappy is giving them a compliment...these shitty musicians today just escaped and destroyed what we know as music(As was once said about Rap,giving a bunch of guys and girls a chance to sing when they can't)...Just so tragic.
Some people think they sound cool or street if they bash commercially successful bands. You’ll see the same group of people bashing abba and reo speedwagon.
Dude, Genesis is one of the most legendary prog rock bands of all time. It's a shame they went pop, but that wasn't until the mid 80's. As a 70's band they put out classic album after classic album, from Foxtrot and Selling England By the Pound, to The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and Trick of the Tail, their 70s output is Hall of Fame worthy. to lump them in with a bunch of one-hit wonders is ridiculous.
@@lastinline1958 I think they still put out several great albums without Gabriel, but I agree that Hackett's departure was the backbreaker. And Then There were Three was decent, and so was Abacab, but it wasn't the legendary stuff of Foxtrot, Selling England or Lamb.
I think it should be noted that The BUGGLES, and OTHER groups of the New Wave genre, were hated mainly because THEY seemed WIERD at the time - not because of their ARTISTIC QUALITY, and THEY were mostly hated by HIPPIES. Hippies were still around at the time and THEY didn't like THAT music was changing again and making THEM feel old and outmoded and not so modern and progressive anymore.
@@kelleychilton2524 well, that era yes. But there are great psychedelic bands now, even more so, to me, than then, just less mainstream. And hippies? There are cool, progressive and peaceful people in all music and walks of life since the 70s - just styles and attitudes change. They didn't really go away, some changed with the times. Tears for fears and U2 are not called "hippies" but their attitudes and lyrics and outspokenness are basically the same thing in the 80s that the hippies did in the 60s.
Are you out of your mind?? Genesis is and was one of the most followed, creative, respected and best selling bands of all time. The Lamb, Selling England, Trick of the Tail, Wind and Wuthering, Duke were one of the best prog albums, not just of the 70's but of all time, included in several best of lists by several critics and magazines. You probably did zero research and just included them because the band changed their direction after Gabriel left. If anything they won even more fans as they progressed.
@@steelydan133 'morning, my good Steelydan,.....call from Laval,Québec,I don't like Genesis if I compare Genesis with Uriah heep (with David Byron as the singer) I prefer by far UriahHeep,who's my favorite band......BUT,yes, there a BUt....This very special song on the album "nursery crime"is by far one of my most favorite song.....IT'S is: The MUSICAL BOX who I consider this song one of the best musical testimony of "all the music."This song ....Well, Genesis make only one song that I can call :«an immortal musical testimony.....Well that's gonna be it.....Have a nice day and sorry for the English, Ihaven't practice for almost 40 years.
No Genesis made great music for years gabriel left and if they had been honest should have changed their name to Phil obnoxious obsessed with Motown Collins ie From the Carpet crawlers to follow you follow me Yeah they changed their style from Genesis to Phil collins band turgid guff in comparison with the early stuff 2 quite seperate bands Invention to Middle Of The Road guff
In 50 years of concertgoing, the greatest single performance I've ever seen was Genesis touring with The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway. The inclusion of Genesis on this list is laughable.
I'm not sure where you're getting your opinion on "Billy, don't be a Hero" but nothing about the song seemed funny to us. It hit home to a lot of young lovers during that time, when a lot of men didn't return from the War.
Genesis transcended the 70s decade. They make music which appeals to multigenerations and multi-genres. They have some of the most beautiful love songs and yet they were still able to pull off a quirky song like, "I Can't Dance" in the 90s. I love their diversity.
I remember back in the day I'm like 44 I was listening to hair metal and my friend's parents were like boy what are you doing;!! break out the records! People were so passionate about music back then! I remember in the '90s when I discovered so many great bands and singers and not just 90 music Zeppelin Sabbath Allman Brothers Beatles Jimi Hendrix I was raised with no idea what music was about
That was a trip down memory lane. I remember them all. They were all great back in the day. I reckon anyone that can write, sing, perform and have songs people never forget, deserve the accolades. Whether we think the songs are good or bad, most of us oldies still know the words! Thank you.
My thoughts exactly. Describing a band as awful who managed to have a chart topping song is great irony. If they were truly awful, we would never have heard of them.
I grew up in the 70s. When I meet people these days who envy me, talking about all the great music back then, I agree. Then I play them Pina Colada and MacArthur Park. Yeah, we also had crappy songs too. Also, not only did Captain and Tennille have some of the worst songs, they also had one of the worst variety TV shows. There wasn't much on TV back then.
"Love Will Keep Us Together" won a Grammy as number one song of the year in 1975. Not so hated. Choosing "Muskrat Love" to pick on was a bit of a cheat.
Strangley the lead singer from Edison Lighthouse had FIVE one hit wonders: Let's Go to San Francisco, Love Grows, United We Stand, My Baby Loves Lovin, Gimme Dat Ding, and Beach Baby. All with different groups.
Lets keep in mind that one hit wonders weren't just groups that couldn't follow up with more great songs. Most of them refused to sell their souls for success. They wouldnt play the games required by the Industry shot callers.
@@youtubesucks1499 That was the thing about Boston, they were great but it took them about 5-6 years to put out an album. This was during an era when most bands put out a new album every 1-2 years, usually 1.
I look back and I am truly proud and grateful to be a Gen X’er. I got the best that the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s had to offer in both music AND cinema thanks in large part to my Stepdad. Used to sneak down into the basement to listen to my Dads 8-tracks of The Sweet, Kiss and Nazareth among others. He also used to take us to the Drive In every weekend. It was a cheap night out for my young parents cause they could sneak me in and didn’t have to pay for a babysitter. My Mom refused to leave me with other people. So, I got to see some of the greatest horror flicks of the 70’s and 80’s too when they were initially released. RIP Dad. I miss you ❤️
@@redsox3459 Wow! I had no idea that Peter Gabriel was part of Genesis! I always thought he was a solo artist. I kind of like "SledgeHammer". Phil Collins looked better in the 70's, before he went mostly bald.
@@TheSoleProprietor Agreed LOL! Sledgehammer was good. He had other big songs with "In Your Eyes", "Red Rain", "Games Without Frontiers", "Solisbury Hill", "Shock The Monkey."
Phil's version of 'You can't hurry love is ok' The Supremes did it better of course, but do you know who did it the best? The Stray Cats! It rocked., By definition. Supper fun take.
The buggles were not hated - far from it, they are quoted as a major influence for many bands, and of course Trevor Horn went to to run ZTT records and produced Frankie Goes To Hollywood, and ABC etc, who were *major* bands in the 80s, and some of the other artists mentioned weren't even well know, so hardly some of the "most hated".
@@porkbelly0713 Agreed. Also, no one really hated The Captain & Tennille or Edison Lighthouse. did they? Perfectly acceptable Top 40 fodder. May as well put Elton John on the list if that's where you draw the line.
I don't understand the hate - a bunch of these songs are great one-hit wonders. Sometimes a well crafted pop song can be timeless rather than disposable!
Quit with the misused word hate. There was a lot of bad music but a lot of good. Many bands had a crappy song or two so don’t blanket the whole group. Music is subjective!
@@sandiegosherlock We have ENOUGH language police. The person was using the word hate as a figure of speech. Don't "hate" on me. I "hate" beets. Get a sense of humor....You are right about music being SOMEWHAT subjective. But PLEASE...Stop hating on haters. See?

Sorry, Barb. It's a well-known fact that everyone liked Afternoon Delight whether they will admit it or not. Yes, EVERYONE. If anyone needs proof of this, watch the movie Anchorman. ;)~
Genesis and The Buggles were actually CULT bands firstly and foremostly. THEY are just so-called "one hit wonders" from an ULTRA MAINSTREAM perspective.
Never understood why phil was hated, and especially while people rocked away to his songs. Many people did not know alot of the popular songs were by phil.

After the Buggles disbanded, the two main members joined the band Yes and made an outstanding album called Drama. And Trevor Horn later on became one of the most in demand producers in rock and pop.
I'm sorry, but the album Drama SUCKED. Yes's best albums were Fragile, Close to The Edge, Relayer (Moraz replaced Wakeman and did a magnificent job), Tales of Topographic Oceans and Going For the One (Wakeman and Andersen Came back). The albums with Trevor Horn, Geoffrey Downs and others were just terrible.
@@johnlynch5300 Just because YOU don’t like it means it sucks. As a matter of fact, it’s always had a very big fan base. I own all the other albums you mentioned and I’ve seen them many times, but thanks anyway for the history lesson. From Wiki: In 2014, Prog readers voted Drama the 100th best progressive rock album.[43] Seven years later, in his memoirs, Howe recalled that "Drama stands out in my estimation as a true classic Yes album. It speaks oceans about Yes music and the melodic adventures that we loved, a kind of accumulation of the previous decade, I'd say."[44]
@@johnlynch5300 thanks for you honesty......I'm intrigued now. I'll have to take a listen today...if its on the net. In my younger days I really liked Fragile and Close to the Edge and that 90210 one is pretty good too.
I freaking love Drama. Its a really good album without one bad song. I get why its hated by a good chunk of Yes fans. Seeing the lead vocalist and longtime keyboardist leave and get replaced by then mostly unknowns is a real tough pill to swallow. But if you listen to it without that baggage, you'll enjoy it a lot more.
Lol, fair enough. I like that song myself. I think i can say that, seeing at the time i was buying albums by Purple, Floyd, Tull, Jefferson Airplane and Procol Harum instead. It's only in the last few years i finally decide i actually liked "Afternoon Delight"
Genesis is iconic. Surely whoever created this video is just trolling. Either that or they like shitty pop music and wouldn't know real music if it bit em on the ass
@@castelodomar846 The Buggles weren't so much a band as they were a Trevor Horn side project. They were later absorbed into YES, one of the most interesting Bands of the SEventies and the Eighties.
So, wait a minute, Genesis is on the list but, Helen Reddy " I am woman", Paul Anka, "Having my Baby," and Starland vocal band" afternoon delight" are not? I think you had one too many Pina Coladas.
And lets add Kisses for Me by Brotherhood of Man to the list. I thought afternoon delight was going to be number one on this list as soon as I saw the title of the video lol.
Genesis is one of the most creative bands, ever. They Definitely Rock! And they're underrated. Listen to not only the main tunes, but also how their songs start and end, how they work their supporting sounds. Their songs are crafted uniquely. People that don't like them likely like shallow songs. 😃
I think we have to draw a distinction between a Peter Gabriel led Genesis, and the Phill Collins led version. The latter increasingly caters to those who like shallow songs. Sorry, but I can't find much depth in "I Can't Dance". Hard to compare that to "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway".
@@edwardofgreene Here we go again.. fundie fan base who project your own skin deep understanding of something that lasts. Same crap with AC DC fundies. Those who refuse to listen to AC AD after Bon Scott croaked. Because something, something. I do hope you realize that tons of kids gtrowing up in the 80s became fans and were still fans after Peter Gabriel split. But to label Genesis shallow because you don't like their tunes with Phil Collins, only shows how shallow YOUR loyalty truly are. You're no "tru fans". Only stuck up self important nerds who still yearn for the years as a "deep thinking young man who feels understood by everyone and I need to tell the world about it, and how great I truly am". That's the kind of crap that was argued over between music nerds even when I grew up. It also shows a great disrespect for the band membeers who claim to have such an admiration for. You ever listened to Mike & the Mechanics?
Peter Gabriel was the driving force in early Genesis. when he left, Solsbury Hill on his debut solo album was about him leaving Genesis. That says everything. Phil Colins did a great job with Tony Banks and Steve Hacket keeping it real artistically on A Trick of The Tale and Wind and Wuthering. Two fantastic, progressive, not Top 40 albums. When Hacket left, they decided to go Top 40 and it sucked, with an occasional great progressive track.
Top 40 music from the 70s. We listened to what they played on the radio or TV because we had few options. You could buy a record, 8 track, or cassette. No TH-cam or internet. The 70s rocked anyway and the music was better than whatever they're playing now. Dark Side of the Moon 1973. Remember that masterpiece? I certainly do. It was on vinyl. 🎸 🥁 🎤 🎶 Year of the Cat. 🐈 I drifted away listening to it. 😊 There's so much more. 😲
For me, I believe the sweet spot in musical history was from about ‘67-‘85, an intersectional period when so many styles came together, and when we were all forced to listen to a limited number of outlets, when the LP was king, and before the record companies and broadcasters broke up the industry into categories targeted for specific audiences. During that period the prolific genius of all those styles was exposed to a much wider swathe of the population. THAT, is what made those times so special.
I don't know about you but I never had a problem changing the radio channel especially when FM got big but I still always loved THE SOUND OF MOTOWN on CKLW-AM out of Detroit.
There were some great nonverbal songs in the late 50's and early 1960's... Apache, Pipeline, Telstar, Green Onions, Theme from a Summer Place... Further into the '60s you had No Matter What Shape, The Disadvantages of You, Soul Coaxin', Classical Gas, Love is Blue. Not to mention all the great ballads... Pieces that would never make it in the world of today.
@@muckraker610 I know all of those songs. My dad had an album by The Ventures. I must have played that album 100's of times. Great stuff then, great stuff now.
I think it should be noted that The BUGGLES, and OTHER groups of the New Wave genre, were hated mainly because THEY seemed WIERD at the time - not because of their ARTISTIC QUALITY, and THEY were mostly hated by HIPPIES. Hippies were still around at the time and THEY didn't like THAT music was changing again and making THEM feel old and outmoded and not so modern and progressive anymore.
It pretty much took Blondie and The Cars to break New Wave/post-punk into the American popular mainstream, and THOSE two groups could not aptly be called "One Hit Wonders" either (like they so lovingly apply to The Buggles and Devo) because THEY had MULTIPLE hits.
It's a shame that when Daryl became so sick he needed a great deal of care, she turned her back on him and left. So much for "Love Will Keep Us Together".
There are nice songs in Buggles' first album. Trevor Horn had a great career as producer and Geoff Downes on Asia. Both played with Yes and, aside of that, no other than Hans Zimmer played keys on this album!
The Age Of Plastic album by The Buggles is a MASTERPIECE!!!! It's a must listen for anyone who is into early new wave, or 80's prog/pop (Devo, Alan Parsons Project, Thomas Dolby, etc...)
Trevor horn was incredibly talented. The buggles may not have written the best song but his work with pet shop boys, yes and most importantly, Franky goes to Hollywood. I'd take him off the list.
No, it was a mistake to add Genesis to this list. Genesis went through major changes if you really knew the history of the band, you would probably resend your opinion of Genesis. You need to edit your video.
I saw them in concert in the 70's and was astounded by their vocal harmonies. There were only 4 of them, but they sounded like 8. Amazingly vocally talented band.
DO YOU AGREE WITH THIS LIST?
WHO WOULD YOU ADD? 🤔
toby beau was God awful
Just curious, how old are you?
The most despised pop band of the 70's was almost unarguably the Bay City Rollers. And please, let's try to forget Shaun Cassidy while we're at it!
GENESIS IS AN ICONIC GROUP!
You seem to be slightly ambiguous if it’s an awful song or an awful band ? Also why’s Nicks and Buckingham on the thumbnail ?
Even the worst of the 70s music sounds like gold compared to what's on the radio today.
You got it DP. That sound that you can hear all around us is called Hip Crap!!!
Totally agree, D P.
good point
YES.!
What’s radio, Grandpa?
I never hated any bands back then, i listened to the songs I liked. It was all better then the crap we have now.
amen
True
Yup...for sure.
There was such a variety of music iback then
Absolutely 💯 true 👍
Genesis was an incredible 70’s band with nearly no misses! I couldn’t disagree more with them being on this list.
They stay on the list!
You're right they were great. Their stage show was unbelievable. I called it boogie Man music. Haha
The problem was not the band, but its fans inflicting pain on the rest of us.... hence the hate.
Exactly, they were awesome
Love them or hate them, you have to respect what Genesis did. Mastering quite different music styles takes guts and talent. How many other bands went from Prog to New Wave to Synth Pop to Space Rock and did it successfully? Queen and Rush are two others I can think of who adapted to the music styles of the day and remained successful, but there aren't many who did it as well as Genesis. And don't forget FIVE of the members of Genesis also had successful solo careers. How many other bands can say that?
Genesis always rocked. Not every song, but every album had enough good stuff that it was worth buying. The same is true for Gabriel's and Collins' solo work.
Hell Invisible Touch was HUGE and loved by everyone... and almost every song was played on the radio, in commercials and even in episodes of Miami Vice.
genesis trick of the tail of was last real genesis album
@@ryan89554 Great album. It was released in 76, so I think I'd argue that this work alone means they do not in any way belong on this list. Also I think Wind and Wuthering is equally terrific, and that came after Trick of the Tail, so I disagree with your statement in that regard.
Exactly
Totally agree! I'm not sure why they're even on the list? Because the songs they played, were actually pretty good songs.
Okay, seriously, millineals need to quit judging music they will never understand.
Oh my goodness. How pretentious you are.
@@stevetaylor7403 But he's right.
Amen to that! to me all music genres have nose dived since the late 70s, main reason it has become to corporate, to homogenized and to little artist driven. It peaked in the mid 70s, and by the 90s has gotten worse like a rocket sled on rails to the musical wasteland of today.
Are they the same as “millennials”? Why should music require to be understood. Let it speak for itself. Coherently, unambiguously, sensibly, unsensationally.
@@stevetaylor7403 you are clearly a tone deaf snowflake millennial 😂😂😂
How Genesis could be on a list of the "Top 10 Most HATED 1970s Bands" is beyond me, especially for that decade when they were at their best. With the departures of Peter Gabriel and Steve Hackett, they "sold out" in the 80s but were still better than a lot of bands.
It what phil collins that was hated for some reason.
@@cypherglitch Some people think it was Phil that pushed the band towards more of a pop bent, when every member of Genesis has said it was Tony Banks who had the largest controlling stake in the musical direction of the group. Saw them live (finally) on the Last Domino tour a couple of weeks back. Phenomenal and a packed house of thousands. Phil got insane amounts of love from the crowd. Struggles to walk, but vocally he's as good as he ever was.
I saw Phil Collins on the invisible touch tour of 1986.
A phenomenal show!
Personnally, I liked them better as prog rock band, back in Peter Gabriel and Steve Hacket time, than a pop-rock band afterwards. But thing is they became a top band in either genre and time, regardless of each one's opinion (including mine). So... among most hated bands? My ass!
absaloutly right.
Genesis seriously? This is one choice that we cannot agree to disagree. Their musical chops in the 70's should be hanging in a museum.
They did the slow death after Gabriel left - a group that went stale and the last 3 could not make good rock , Abacab or whatever it was was my biggest disapointment i my life and I bought a lot or records -so thanks drummer in genesis that can do shite songs
@@jari2018 I played frisbee with a tree using the Abacab album. But that's was the 80s Genesis not the 70s.
Well stated mikelmart
That’s Peter Gabriel Genesis. People hate Drum Phil Genesis that came later-so it doesn’t qualify for this list.
@@MarcosElMalo2 yes, I really can't stand to hear Phil Collins sing.
There wasn't actually anything bad about 70s pop culture. It was Paradise!

The fact that the worse music back then is better than the best music today…
👍👍 I agree
I would make an exception for Disco Duck.
No Ice Spice, 70s = worse,
Also genuine question, what have you head from this decade
@@Peysure Heavy Metal music was developed in the 1970's.
I think it’s a sin you’ve left Rick Dees’ Disco Duck out of this list , Genesis, with Phil and Peter up front doesn’t deserve such a bad rap
I'm not a fa n of Genesis, and especially Phil Collins. I do like some of Peter Gabriel's stuff/
Disco Duck was the result of a bet. Rick thought Disco was so talentless anyone could make a song. lol
oh yeah...Disco Duck...yikes.👍 " I will Survive" and "Gloria" is missing in action too.
"Disco Duck". :D :D LOLLLLLLLLLLL !!!! With that song's music song containing the ugliest muppet(/puppet) ever put onto film.
I can't believe Genesis was on this list. I liked both Peter Gabriel AND Phil Collins. The song "Mama" on their first album w/ Phil Colloins was and still is one of my favorite Genesis songs. Now the Archies (Sugar Sugar) would have been a better choice, even though that dreadful song was on the Top Ten back in the day. I agree Disco Duck should have been on there too. Not a grat choice for Rick Dees, who wasn;t such a bad guy in real life.
Genesis, one of the best groups ever. The fact that Peter Gabriel, Phil Collins, Mike and the Mechanics, and GTR came out of Genesis, speaks for itself. Supergroups formed from Genesis. Unbeknownst to me why they appeared on this list.
The list was created by an idiot.
just showing my support here as well... 🤣🤣🤣
What is GTR?
@@allywilkeforsenate They were a band founded by GuiTaRists Steve Hackett (ex-Genesis) and Steve Howe (ex-Yes, Aisa). They had this one hit in 1986 titled "When the Heart Rules the Mind".
Inverted snobbery. Basically you are a bit thick if you don’t like 1970s Genesis, or haven’t actually taken time to listen
Compared to today's music these are legends .
You are WRONG about Genesis, just flat out wrong. Get older people to do this. WHY is a photo Buckingham/Nicks on this. That was a fantastic duo with a wonderful album. Stevie Nicks' voice is gorgeous with all excellent songs on that slbum. They sold out concerts where I live every time they played here and EVERYONE has that album. They had one album because they joined Fleetwood Mac.
I think that was a limited-edition album. It cost me fifty dollars in a used record shop back in 1988. I really liked to compare it with earlier & later Mac albums, as it was both the genesis of Lindsay & Stevie, as well as what would the most productive era for Mac. Great album...
His mind is made up. He made that clear in his monologue.
So true. I loved Genesis but to each his own...
Stevie Nicks sounds like a freaking nanny-goat, hence the South Park episode
Genesis and Phil Collins were and still ate great. I still listen today.
To have the Peter Gabriel era of Genesis on this list is akin to having Bobby Orr on a list of the worst hockey player of the 70's list.
You shot and you scored with that comment!
He left in 75. Still, even when Collins took over, Genesis was a well respected band. It wasn't until Phil Collins went solo in the 80s and started releasing all those schmaltzy songs that people turned from his music.
Brian i have never been out ANYWHERE and heard someone say lets jam some Genesis. Peter Gabriel had to dress like a girl. It was the only way to get talked about. It wasn't the music.
@@B.G.216 Genesis wasn't for the average jam. Just like Rush, Dream Theater, or Jethro Tull, Genesis performed music with polyrhythms, key changes, and guitar riffs in constant variance. It's a musicians band. Van Halen and Iron Maiden cite Genesis as an inspiration as did Queen.
Genesis sold over 100 million albums. Somebody's been jamming.
@@semperfiarcher not one time....
Early Genesis was brilliant. Selling England By The Pound was a masterpiece.
Yes! Thank you!
Agreed.
Yes I agree
Absolutely spot on
yes, but when Peter Gabriel left they spent most of their efforts trying to figure out how to write generic pop songs to keep themselves in the charts. I still recall hearing the guys from pink floyd mocking them in a radio interview back when they had the hit song "i cant dance" on the radio. everyone was laughing at it even though they made a ton of cash, their integrity was gone. it rolled down Salisbury hill and into the gutter.
I couldn't believe Genesis was on the list. The Captain and Tenniel were OK too. Certainly not terrible. Both of these bands were very popular at the time.
Genesis doesn’t belong on this list for sure, they adapted very well to the changes in music during the 80’s.
You couldn't be more right. I never cared for Genesis myself, but they were, and still are today, very popular. Comparing Genesis to any of the other acts on this list is laughable.
Totally agree
@@mwright9106 I had the opportunity of meeting Genesis when I was real young. They definitely don't belong on this list and they aren't a one hit wonder. They stood the test of time.
Genesis definitely does not belong! I saw them live as well as Phil Collins and Peter Gabriel!
@@wilburmcbride8096 That must of been a real thrill...fun memory! Those were the days...at least what I can remember. LOL
There’s no way that Genesis belongs on this list. Keyboardist Tony Banks is a under rated talent that while not as flashy he’s every bit as good as Rick Wakeman, or Keith Emerson. And man, that narration voice, ugh….
@Auras Sparsas The Retard But the subject was worst bands of the seventies, not the eighties, which would include all of the albums with Hackett and most of the albums with Gabriel.
@Auras Sparsas The Retard Kind of similar to how Jefferson Starship and especially the Starship, music unfairly tarnished the legacy of Jefferson Airplane.
Agreed. Plus Genesis peak was in the '80s and is more likely remembered for that.
@@muffs55mercury61 Not their artistic peak.
home by the sea! Such a great song, if you like things other than guitar all the time.
The music from back then is better than anything you hear today.
And the people of the 50's say that about this music.....
I remember that the parents of the 1950s said the same thing about the music their kids were listening to!
@@guaporichard the stuff played today isn’t even music so your point has no merit.
@@MichaelRei99 judging music is subjective. Just because you don't like it doesn't make it bad. I don't like Country music but it's a billon dollar industry. Meaning YOUR comment is void of merit. Back to your narrow minded existence.
I like today's and yesterday's music.
Genesis is one of the best bands of all time! Phil Collins has mad talent!
That is right. "Selling England by the pound" is the best piece of music ever made together with "In the court of the crimson king"
Peter Gabriel isn't half bad although I will concede it's more as a solo artist than a band member.
As does Peter Gabriel....have seen him twice in concert and Phil Collins once.
Screwed over a sell out Glasgow gig. Cancelled completely. They reorganised the London ones...but thought screw Glasgow! Haven't listened to them since and never will. Screw them all
It’s probably cause whoever put them on this list is still longing for the original lead vocals Peter Gabriel
Genesis? Are you huffing glue, kid? They're one of the greatest bands of all time through all their incarnations.
Yeah... to put Genesis on the list just jab the whole video clip in the trash bin. Genesis has no place in that list, it's just ridiculous and silly at the same time.
The fact that they're still touring is a testament to that fact...even with PHIL"S SON doing the drumming !
They were great if you were into Miami Vice. I was, but to claim they were great is a stretch
@@timheersma4708 everyone is still touring. As Kathleen Madigan says, it should be just one act.......people you thought were dead
Ditto.
Genesis on a list like this??
They were awesome as a prog rock band with Gabriel at the front. The switch over to more radio friendly music with Collins as a singer worked like a charm and they have so many great songs.
Agree 👍 Genesis definitely should not be on this list.
Not one of them belonged on the list.
I do not like the newer Genesis, post 1976, but they were never a rock group, more of progressive rock.
Agreed!! Genesis was definitely a surprise on a list where Muskrat Love had a place! 😳😳😳
This is one of the dumbest videos that supposedly is about 70's music that I've come across.
Well, definitely not Genesis. That was a surprise to even see on here. They certainly were not my favorite band back in the day, I was more of a hard rock person, but I certainly enjoyed the group.
The 70's were full of one hit wonders. Mostly due to so many talented bands in that era
IMO Genesis doesn't belong on the list. Excellent musicians.
Genesis’ progressive era was amazing. They’re in a totally different league than your other picks. There are a lot of other potential sappy untalented pop artists you could have chosen.
Genesis was boring as shit and Phil Collins was worse
Even if you did not like Genesis, or Phil Collins, the band would never have endured and have hits after the 70s, if they weren't good. Should have gone after the sappy band, Bread.
@@greenman8 Kinda shocked on kicking around Genesis? When I scored tix at Meriwether-Post Pavillion in late 70s, all the guys in the dorms were jealous!
Whoever put Genesis on that list must've missed out on Boise Sound Systems --
They Rocked in Loud Stereo!!
Philth Collins was definitely better in Genesis -- his solo 80s trite cliches were almost worse than Brian Adams... couldn't turn on radio without hearing one or the other...
Bread was pathetic gooey syrup-ee $hit -- eegads!
Yeah, Genesis had a shit ton of hits back in the day!
I think that Genesis and The Buggles are both grossly out of place in this video, among all those other acts.
Agreed on Genesis not belonging on this list. Granted, I was a teen in the 80's and that's when I discovered them (thru MTV), but I can sure bet they wouldn't have made it to the 80's had they sucked in the 70's. Peter Gabriel wouldn't have had a career, nor would Phil Collins, Tony Banks, or Mike Rutherford.
made it to Suck Town right outside of Suck City to be the all-time sucking-est band. made it. Perty shur.
@@andercoyote4170 Listen to Firth Of Fifth and tell me they suck.
The first side of their self-titled album, "Genesis" (1983), is freaking genius. _Mama, Home By The Sea, and That's All._ I literally wore the tape out from overplay.
I was surprised to see Genesis on this list! Phil Collins, Peter Gabriel they’re legends!
Hell Invisible Touch was HUGE and loved by everyone... and almost every song was played on the radio, in commercials and even in episodes of Miami Vice.
No list is complete without the song, "Having My Baby."
That song was ridiculous!! I agree,George..
But it was perfect in the premiere episode of WKRP In Cincinnati, sung by a mock version of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Especially with the needle scratching it as the station format changed mid song.
I agree! That was one of the worst songs ever recorded!
MOST DEFINITELY!
The dumbest and most inappropriate song EVER !
I saw Genesis in the in the early 90s for their We Can’t Dance tour, Oakland Coliseum. The place was PACKED. We were up so high we had to watch them on the Jumbotron screen. 😂 I’d hardly call that a terrible band that peaked in the 80s. 🙄
And think how much better they were with Gabriel. They were spectacular then!

The GENESIS TRICK OF THE TAIL album was the best album where all the songs were fantastic and a type of phantasmagorical trip in a magical world. Although many of these songs may be considered bad, the beauty was that they all "took a chance" and expressed themselves without reservation and they made a mark in the rock and roll world even if just for one time.
I do love that particular song. Kind of medieval creepy. 👍
Mad Man Moon, Entangled, Ripples...classic.
Wind and Wuthering is my favorite Genesis Album, and that also was released in the 70's.
Squank
You cannot put Genesis on this list, they were one of the top bands of the 70’s and would put most of today’s artists to shame.
They were when Peter was still there, after The Lamb, all downhill!! Concerts sucked without him too!!!
I think his opinion on the Genesis is very heavily inspired by a certain hamster, Richard *cough Hammond *cough.
Genesis was good but some of Phil's solo shit was pretty lame
they got hated on believe me.

The 70's was an interesting decade to say the least and the diversity within the rock music genre was definitely at it's peak. You had everything from Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath to the Carpenters and Bread.....and everything in between. Oh, and what was considered a cultural blight at the time, disco. It was a pretty good decade if you just wanted to just go 'do your own thing'. As someone who was there AND remembers it, I would take the 70's over today in a heartbeat.
& even tho we were “hopelessly razist” everyone got along much better then today, had every group you could think of represented & life was good, whole lot of lies bringing our nation down, it’s time us old timers call bs on these kids who “promise will get communism right....this time” I’d say craps bad enough as is, time to pull out the B squad & let the A team back in
Right on
@Black Swan Mandolin you better believe it I’d like to see those videos now the garbage now gets me sick
@Ivan Schlotzky love love Motown
Disco was hated by many but I loved the music style and it was way better than the current rap trash.
Genesis' variety is what made them so good.
Genesis is one of the best bands ever! They were ahead of their time.
Members of that band went on to successful careers because they were all talented. Peter Gabriel is one of the best for sure...
For me it's Phil Collins
@Karl with a K
Maybe I'm wrong but I get this feeling that you don't like Genesis.
Not sure why though....
Genesis and Phil Collins are AWESOME!! They don't belong on a worst list of any kind!
Right I myself like Genesis
Haters gonna hate.
I was surprised to see them included here but I have to admit I could never see the big deal about them.
Totally agree! Genesis ruled.
No but it generates more comments
Genesis was adaptable to the times and was one of the better bands of their era. Great music came from them.
@Auras Sparsas The Retard Like no other bands have been booed?
What about JOhn Lennon saying The Beatles were bigger than Christ?
But they are still regarded as probably the best band ever?
Get a life and research other bands before hitting on one band!!

@Auras Sparsas The Retard Duchess, Abacab, Misunderstanding, Man On The Corner, No Reply At All, Turn It On Again... what a fantastic collection of great songs during that concert. The comments section totally negated the significance of the booing. One really terrible song Who Dunnit does not negate the rest of the concert. And that was a badly performed No Reply.
Very well crafted songs and you had to live through it to really understand. I played Canada and Alaska in an all 70s and 80s band and everyone had a ball. Great crowds and loads of just plain FUN1
It was fun!! And we had great music, with people who could Sing, without the help of autotune!
Id have to disagree, I love Genesis. While they were all successful on their own , I think they made some amazing tunes.
Peter Gabriel Genius 😎
The band went from Prog Rock under Peter Gabriel to Pop under Phil Collins. They're two different bands.
The split was bound to happen. Peter Gabriel got all the kudos even though everyone put in the work. And Peter Gabriel was getting too abstract for the rest of them.
If you like early Genesis, you like Peter Gabriel's solo albums. If you like later Genesis, you like Phil Collins' solo albums.
I do like them both. Phil Collins is probably my favorite singer/performer of all time, but Peter Gabriel is pretty damn good though!
@@SidneyBroadshead i couldn't tell which one was peter in the photos
@@SidneyBroadshead I think the we hate Genesis brigade, of which I am one, really dislike the split and feel that Phil just blatantly sold our to get some money or that they never really were prog and just did it to get known and then left that scene. Clearly they are all excellent musicians. When they get berrated, I think it is over some exceptionally comercial pop music in later years and some of the earlier fans feel betrayed.
I freaking love Genesis!!!!
I will have to disagree with that pick.
Agreed - they made good music in ALL their different iterations.
I also disagree with that prick.
Same here - 1970 (Trespass) to 1976 (Wind and Wuthering) was some of the best prog ever made. Then they changed their style to softrock/pop, but still with some of the elements from their past present in the music.
Some of the prog-fans never did forgive them that change in style, but to put Genesis on a list like this, is sacrilege!
Me too Tabitha
Yeah, right? Genesis with 18x platinum total sales distributed over the course of six albums, and ten top 10 hits certainly qualifies as some of the most hated music. 😉😆
Any 1970s disco band could be added, as far as I’m concerned. The pre- Disco Bee Gees were actually very good.
Not Genesis. One of my favorites and still listen to them all the time.

Dude, Genesis is one of the most legendary prog rock bands of all time. It's a shame they went pop, but that wasn't until the mid 80's. As a 70's band they put out classic album after classic album, from Foxtrot and Selling England By the Pound, to The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway and Trick of the Tail, their 70s output is Hall of Fame worthy. to lump them in with a bunch of one-hit wonders is ridiculous.
Truly Their quality fell considerably with the departure of Gabriel, but when Hackett left, they totally lost their way.
@@lastinline1958 I think they still put out several great albums without Gabriel, but I agree that Hackett's departure was the backbreaker. And Then There were Three was decent, and so was Abacab, but it wasn't the legendary stuff of Foxtrot, Selling England or Lamb.
Genesis? Are you nuts?
Loved Genesis
And then we where three, and boring.
You had to be there in the 70’s to appreciate all of these songs…. It was a different time & a different sound…
I was there I didn't appreciate them. But including Genesis was painting with a rather large brush.
I think it should be noted that The BUGGLES, and OTHER groups of the New Wave genre, were hated mainly because THEY seemed WIERD at the time - not because of their ARTISTIC QUALITY, and THEY were mostly hated by HIPPIES. Hippies were still around at the time and THEY didn't like THAT music was changing again and making THEM feel old and outmoded and not so modern and progressive anymore.
you make a gr8 point Chris, I liked "Video Killed the Radio Star to be fair, but Genesis wasn't a bad group
@@sloancostella2772 Yep, when psychedelic rock went by the wayside, so did the hippies. They were pretty much finished by the late 70s.
@@kelleychilton2524 well, that era yes. But there are great psychedelic bands now, even more so, to me, than then, just less mainstream. And hippies? There are cool, progressive and peaceful people in all music and walks of life since the 70s - just styles and attitudes change. They didn't really go away, some changed with the times. Tears for fears and U2 are not called "hippies" but their attitudes and lyrics and outspokenness are basically the same thing in the 80s that the hippies did in the 60s.
Are you out of your mind?? Genesis is and was one of the most followed, creative, respected and best selling bands of all time. The Lamb, Selling England, Trick of the Tail, Wind and Wuthering, Duke were one of the best prog albums, not just of the 70's but of all time, included in several best of lists by several critics and magazines. You probably did zero research and just included them because the band changed their direction after Gabriel left. If anything they won even more fans as they progressed.

Genesis transcended the 70s decade. They make music which appeals to multigenerations and multi-genres. They have some of the most beautiful love songs and yet they were still able to pull off a quirky song like, "I Can't Dance" in the 90s. I love their diversity.

My thoughts exactly. Describing a band as awful who managed to have a chart topping song is great irony. If they were truly awful, we would never have heard of them.
I grew up in the 70s. When I meet people these days who envy me, talking about all the great music back then, I agree. Then I play them Pina Colada and MacArthur Park. Yeah, we also had crappy songs too. Also, not only did Captain and Tennille have some of the worst songs, they also had one of the worst variety TV shows. There wasn't much on TV back then.
what are you talkin g about? the 60s and 70s had the best tv shows ever. 50s too.
MacArthur Park was written by of the greatest pop song writers of all time, Jimmy Webb.
"Love Will Keep Us Together" won a Grammy as number one song of the year in 1975. Not so hated. Choosing "Muskrat Love" to pick on was a bit of a cheat.

Yeah I was about to post this.
And The first Class😮
GENESIS WAS THE BOMB !!! LOVED THEM THEN AND NOW
I have nothing against Genesis & they shouldn't be on this list😉
Being on this list is a true miscarriage of justice.
I’m 68. Thankfully I missed some of these awful bands. Great musicians in my era though! “ Come down off your throne and leave your body alone.”
Genesis rocked. Seriuosly phil collins and peter gabriel, two musical geniuses.
I agree Peter Gabriel is a genius. The band sucked after he left.
@@johnsieff2921 no they didn't
Phil Collins makes my skin crawl! The second side of 'Foxtrot' is a masterpiece. Collins turned the band into Radio Rock garbage.
Not a fan but can't disagree.
@@johnsieff2921 I Disagree With You. Phil Collins Had Great Music. Don't Judge A Book By It's Cover.
With the exception of Genesis and C&T, most of the bands listed were one hit wonders.
They weren't hated.
Exactly, they were not hated, they were insignificant bands, hardly the same thing. just one guys opinion which means as much as these bands do!
Lets keep in mind that one hit wonders weren't just groups that couldn't follow up with more great songs.
Most of them refused to sell their souls for success.
They wouldnt play the games required by the
Industry shot callers.
@@stancruz4809 Well, for some yes... for others lack of material.
Look at Boston.
@@youtubesucks1499 That was the thing about Boston, they were great but it took them about 5-6 years to put out an album. This was during an era when most bands put out a new album every 1-2 years, usually 1.
@@keithdean9149 Actually, their first album was their demo.
I look back and I am truly proud and grateful to be a Gen X’er. I got the best that the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s had to offer in both music AND cinema thanks in large part to my Stepdad. Used to sneak down into the basement to listen to my Dads 8-tracks of The Sweet, Kiss and Nazareth among others. He also used to take us to the Drive In every weekend. It was a cheap night out for my young parents cause they could sneak me in and didn’t have to pay for a babysitter. My Mom refused to leave me with other people. So, I got to see some of the greatest horror flicks of the 70’s and 80’s too when they were initially released. RIP Dad. I miss you ❤️
I agree with everyone on this list except Genesis. Until they went pop in the 80's, they rocked and was a fresh breath of air
Pretty much ruined by any of the ones they let Phil Collins sing on, he should stick to drumming.
Genesis definitely does NOT belong on this list. They had lots of great songs before Peter Gabriel left
@@redsox3459 Wow! I had no idea that Peter Gabriel was part of Genesis! I always thought he was a solo artist. I kind of like "SledgeHammer". Phil Collins looked better in the 70's, before he went mostly bald.
@@TheSoleProprietor Agreed LOL! Sledgehammer was good. He had other big songs with "In Your Eyes", "Red Rain", "Games Without Frontiers", "Solisbury Hill", "Shock The Monkey."
Genesis did damn right for probably close to two decades.
F’n MTV, and Phil.
Replace Genesis with Debby Boone. 'You Light Up My Life' belongs with 'Feelings'.
Oh yes. It's a shocker 😂😂😂
Totally agree, now that was one BAD song, and I got so tired of hearing it.
You light up my life is my #1 hated song. It's just awful.
@@annoldham3018 Debbie Boone rocked!
Replace the other nine entries with GENESIS!
Phil Collins was one of the best drummers/slash singers. That takes skill.
Except that his voice sounds like a muppet.
What is so great about his drumming? He is mediocre at best.
most overrated
Like "The Band's" Levon Helm
Phil's version of 'You can't hurry love is ok' The Supremes did it better of course, but do you know who did it the best? The Stray Cats! It rocked., By definition. Supper fun take.
The buggles were not hated - far from it, they are quoted as a major influence for many bands, and of course Trevor Horn went to to run ZTT records and produced Frankie Goes To Hollywood, and ABC etc, who were *major* bands in the 80s, and some of the other artists mentioned weren't even well know, so hardly some of the "most hated".
Man that was a long preface. And Genesis doesn’t belong on the list.
Put me off watching
Yes I agree
Genesis sucked but not bad enough for this list
if Genesis is on this list I am outta here, not watching any of it
@@porkbelly0713 Agreed. Also, no one really hated The Captain & Tennille or Edison Lighthouse. did they? Perfectly acceptable Top 40 fodder. May as well put Elton John on the list if that's where you draw the line.
I don't understand the hate - a bunch of these songs are great one-hit wonders. Sometimes a well crafted pop song can be timeless rather than disposable!
Your comment is so good and so concise that I don't have to comment! Thanks.
They lost me at Video Killed the Radio Star - love the song and Billy Don't Be a Hero. One hit wonders are great.
The only thing I hate is the opinion of the moron narrating the video!
Quit with the misused word hate. There was a lot of bad music but a lot of good. Many bands had a crappy song or two so don’t blanket the whole group. Music is subjective!
@@sandiegosherlock We have ENOUGH language police. The person was using the word hate as a figure of speech. Don't "hate" on me. I "hate" beets. Get a sense of humor....You are right about music being SOMEWHAT subjective. But PLEASE...Stop hating on haters. See?
The first side of Genesis's self-titled album, "Genesis" (1983), is freaking genius. _Mama, Home By The Sea,_ and _That's All._ I literally wore the tape out from overplay.
One of my all time favorite albums.
Tony Orlando and Dawn, Starland Vocal Band, and so many, many others...But..Genesis?...this Nostalgia Nick guy is on the ludes.
Thought "Silver Rainbow" was a good tune off of that one , too .
@@jeffreese1828
Honestly, I no longer remember that song, or even its name. It's been many years.
@Jim Werther Yeah , it WAS a long time ago ! Lol. I think it was the last song on the record , and maybe it was "Beyond the Silver Rainbow" . Anyhow , great album , the cover was a blurry picture of the pieces from the game Perfection flying around . Apt , considering how good it was . Don't know how Genesis made it on this list of "hated" bands .
Captain and Tenille are a warm memory. Leave ‘em be.
Genesis was good.
I still enjoy their music.
Never knew anybody that hated Genesis
As I recollect, they had a pretty strong following in those days.
Always hated them
many of the fans of the peter gabriel led genesis werent fans of what the band became after he left
I know. They were my first concert and Collins and Gabriel were phenomenal. They played a solid 3hrs without having a cover band.
“The young ones” did.
Quote; “This is just as boring as a Genesis album” 😂
Most of these are just one-hit wonders. You forgot Starland Vocal Band. And GENESIS?!?!? ARE YOU INSANE?!?!?
Judging artists by how many "hits" they have is stupid anyway a-hole.
Correct title:
70's bands with One hit wonders and terrible other songs.
Sorry, Barb. It's a well-known fact that everyone liked Afternoon Delight whether they will admit it or not. Yes, EVERYONE. If anyone needs proof of this, watch the movie Anchorman. ;)~
Genesis and The Buggles were actually CULT bands firstly and foremostly. THEY are just so-called "one hit wonders" from an ULTRA MAINSTREAM perspective.
@@billkeithchannel How much do YOU even KNOW about THESE bands and their OTHER MATERIAL jerk?
Genesis is one of the most talented and entertaining groups of all time. Album sales and longitivity prove it. Its laughable to put them on this lst.
Cannot agree with Genesis. Brilliant band. Saw them live a couple of times.
Love them
Yep real bad so much so already inducted into Rock and Roll hall of fame
Never understood why phil was hated, and especially while people rocked away to his songs. Many people did not know alot of the popular songs were by phil.

After the Buggles disbanded, the two main members joined the band Yes and made an outstanding album called Drama. And Trevor Horn later on became one of the most in demand producers in rock and pop.
I'm sorry, but the album Drama SUCKED. Yes's best albums were Fragile, Close to The Edge, Relayer (Moraz replaced Wakeman and did a magnificent job), Tales of Topographic Oceans and Going For the One (Wakeman and Andersen Came back). The albums with Trevor Horn, Geoffrey Downs and others were just terrible.
@@johnlynch5300 Just because YOU don’t like it means it sucks. As a matter of fact, it’s always had a very big fan base. I own all the other albums you mentioned and I’ve seen them many times, but thanks anyway for the history lesson. From Wiki: In 2014, Prog readers voted Drama the 100th best progressive rock album.[43]
Seven years later, in his memoirs, Howe recalled that "Drama stands out in my estimation as a true classic Yes album. It speaks oceans about Yes music and the melodic adventures that we loved, a kind of accumulation of the previous decade, I'd say."[44]
@@johnlynch5300 absolute bollocks. Drama was one of the most influential discs of the decade and still is doing so in 2022
@@johnlynch5300 thanks for you honesty......I'm intrigued now. I'll have to take a listen today...if its on the net. In my younger days I really liked Fragile and Close to the Edge and that 90210 one is pretty good too.
I freaking love Drama. Its a really good album without one bad song.
I get why its hated by a good chunk of Yes fans. Seeing the lead vocalist and longtime keyboardist leave and get replaced by then mostly unknowns is a real tough pill to swallow.
But if you listen to it without that baggage, you'll enjoy it a lot more.
Starland Vocal Band. Based on their *ick* tune "Afternoon Delight," they won a Grammy for Best New Artist, over Tom Petty, and Boston. SHEESH !!!
Afternoon Delight is an amazing song, that they were able to skip past the censors.
Lol, fair enough. I like that song myself. I think i can say that, seeing at the time i was buying albums by Purple, Floyd, Tull, Jefferson Airplane and Procol Harum instead. It's only in the last few years i finally decide i actually liked "Afternoon Delight"
Ha ha… I have a soft spot for afternoon delight… It’s a great song. But yes I agree that Boston was awesome too.
I only know Afternoon Delight when I was introduced to it on Anchorman. Great rendition of it!!
yep u r correct
Genesis,shouldn't even be in this list! Someone just doesn't realize,Phil Collins,collaborative skills on musical instruments was a beast.
I think that Genesis and The Buggles are both grossly out of place in this video, among all those other acts.
Genesis is iconic. Surely whoever created this video is just trolling. Either that or they like shitty pop music and wouldn't know real music if it bit em on the ass
@@castelodomar846 The Buggles weren't so much a band as they were a Trevor Horn side project. They were later absorbed into YES, one of the most interesting Bands of the SEventies and the Eighties.
@@josephcooter5763 yep, I'm a huge Yes fan too, going back to the 70s. Seen them live numerous times 🥰🙏
I agree with that statement completely.
Absolutely agree.
So, wait a minute, Genesis is on the list but, Helen Reddy " I am woman",
Paul Anka, "Having my Baby," and Starland vocal band" afternoon delight" are not?
I think you had one too many Pina Coladas.
And lets add Kisses for Me by Brotherhood of Man to the list. I thought afternoon delight was going to be number one on this list as soon as I saw the title of the video lol.
I'm with you on everything but Afternoon Delight. I think it's a terrific vocal arrangement.
I Am Woman was a great song
Well said Tim....
You better believe it Timothy mc carthy
Genesis is one of the most creative bands, ever. They Definitely Rock! And they're underrated. Listen to not only the main tunes, but also how their songs start and end, how they work their supporting sounds. Their songs are crafted uniquely.
People that don't like them likely like shallow songs. 😃
I think we have to draw a distinction between a Peter Gabriel led Genesis, and the Phill Collins led version.
The latter increasingly caters to those who like shallow songs.
Sorry, but I can't find much depth in "I Can't Dance". Hard to compare that to "The Lamb Lies Down on Broadway".
I remember a song years ago about puddles, I always thought that seemed shallow.
@@edwardofgreene Here we go again..
fundie fan base who project your own skin deep understanding of something that lasts.
Same crap with AC DC fundies. Those who refuse to listen to AC AD after Bon Scott croaked.
Because something, something.
I do hope you realize that tons of kids gtrowing up in the 80s became fans and were still fans after Peter Gabriel split.
But to label Genesis shallow because you don't like their tunes with Phil Collins, only shows how shallow YOUR loyalty truly are.
You're no "tru fans". Only stuck up self important nerds who still yearn for the years as a "deep thinking young man who feels understood by everyone and I need to tell the world about it, and how great I truly am".
That's the kind of crap that was argued over between music nerds even when I grew up.
It also shows a great disrespect for the band membeers who claim to have such an admiration for.
You ever listened to Mike & the Mechanics?
Peter Gabriel was the driving force in early Genesis. when he left, Solsbury Hill on his debut solo album was about him leaving Genesis. That says everything. Phil Colins did a great job with Tony Banks and Steve Hacket keeping it real artistically on A Trick of The Tale and Wind and Wuthering. Two fantastic, progressive, not Top 40 albums. When Hacket left, they decided to go Top 40 and it sucked, with an occasional great progressive track.
@@darthwiizius Are you Gary Delaney?
Top 40 music from the 70s. We listened to what they played on the radio or TV because we had few options. You could buy a record, 8 track, or cassette. No TH-cam or internet. The 70s rocked anyway and the music was better than whatever they're playing now. Dark Side of the Moon 1973. Remember that masterpiece? I certainly do. It was on vinyl. 🎸 🥁 🎤 🎶 Year of the Cat. 🐈 I drifted away listening to it. 😊 There's so much more. 😲
For me, I believe the sweet spot in musical history was from about ‘67-‘85, an intersectional period when so many styles came together, and when we were all forced to listen to a limited number of outlets, when the LP was king, and before the record companies and broadcasters broke up the industry into categories targeted for specific audiences. During that period the prolific genius of all those styles was exposed to a much wider swathe of the population. THAT, is what made those times so special.
I don't know about you but I never had a problem changing the radio channel especially when FM got big but I still always loved THE SOUND OF MOTOWN on CKLW-AM out of Detroit.
There were some great nonverbal songs in the late 50's and early 1960's... Apache, Pipeline, Telstar, Green Onions, Theme from a Summer Place... Further into the '60s you had No Matter What Shape, The Disadvantages of You, Soul Coaxin', Classical Gas, Love is Blue. Not to mention all the great ballads... Pieces that would never make it in the world of today.
@@muckraker610 screenshotted your reply to make sure to listen to some of those. I recognize two, but not the rest. Looking forward to it.
@@obriets Enjoy 🤠
@@muckraker610 I know all of those songs. My dad had an album by The Ventures. I must have played that album 100's of times. Great stuff then, great stuff now.
I think it should be noted that The BUGGLES, and OTHER groups of the New Wave genre, were hated mainly because THEY seemed WIERD at the time - not because of their ARTISTIC QUALITY, and THEY were mostly hated by HIPPIES. Hippies were still around at the time and THEY didn't like THAT music was changing again and making THEM feel old and outmoded and not so modern and progressive anymore.
Remember geoff downes from the buggles he was in king crimson asia yes so he is legendary
The Cars helped usher in that vibe...they were Alternative before there was such a thing...
It pretty much took Blondie and The Cars to break New Wave/post-punk into the American popular mainstream, and THOSE two groups could not aptly be called "One Hit Wonders" either (like they so lovingly apply to The Buggles and Devo) because THEY had MULTIPLE hits.
@@HippieDave351 kool 😀
@@HippieDave351 Did YOU ever GET anywhere?
Genesis sold out stadiums for 30 years. I think we need to strike their name from the list. Other than that your list is spot on.
In that alien's voice from "Star Trek III": "GEN-E-SIS???"
@Karl with a K you suck!
NAH - EDISON LIGHTHOUSE AND PINA COLADA WERE FANTASTIC SONGS! THE GUY DOING THIS VIDEO IS NUTS!
Genesis was the worst. For spawning Phil Collins, a sore from which we 80s children will NEVER recover.
Captain and Tennille’s most rememberable song was “Love Will Keep Us Together.”
I guess THAT didn't happen. Especially after Daryl got Alzheimer's
It's a shame that when Daryl became so sick he needed a great deal of care, she turned her back on him and left. So much for "Love Will Keep Us Together".
I never knew that they divorced...lol
@@csmretired8428 Shit. That's messed up.
Please, I'm trying to wipe the memory of that song. "I will, I will, I will, I will . . ." That still gives me nausea.
Genesis did not deserve to be on this list. Rupert Holmes is terrific as well.
Agreed. Genesis had so many great songs.
Rupert holms song. What are we going to do about him. Is a lot worse than the Pina colada song I would say for sure.
As soon as I heard Genesis …I was surprised, but after reading the comments I guess I wasn’t alone.
Common man!😂😂
There are nice songs in Buggles' first album. Trevor Horn had a great career as producer and Geoff Downes on Asia. Both played with Yes and, aside of that, no other than Hans Zimmer played keys on this album!
The Age Of Plastic album by The Buggles is a MASTERPIECE!!!! It's a must listen for anyone who is into early new wave, or 80's prog/pop (Devo, Alan Parsons Project, Thomas Dolby, etc...)
Yeah, Genesis has no business being on this list.
Absolutely 💯 correct.
Can't even find ten good bands these days
Why not? Then neither Captain and Tennille then much better imho.
I always thought the couple in "Escape (the Pina Colada Song)" needed some serious couples therapy.
I always thought they were role playing now the couple in Kate Bush's Babushka, they needed therapy 😊
🤣
Trevor horn was incredibly talented. The buggles may not have written the best song but his work with pet shop boys, yes and most importantly, Franky goes to Hollywood. I'd take him off the list.
He also worked with Yes on their 90125 album
He really f-d over Frankie. Read Holly Johnson's book " there's a bone in my flute" . I actually did like "Drama" tho....
No, it was a mistake to add Genesis to this list.
Genesis went through major changes if you really knew the history of the band, you would probably resend your opinion of Genesis.
You need to edit your video.
@Jody Dube Jon Anderson is my favourite singer
Agreed.
Starland Vocal Band - ‘Afternoon Delight’
I saw them in concert in the 70's and was astounded by their vocal harmonies. There were only 4 of them, but they sounded like 8. Amazingly vocally talented band.
