Artists Who Make Boring Music

The Top Ten
1 Tool Tool is an American alternative metal/progressive metal band, that was formed in 1990.

The band is set together between Maynard James Keenan (Vocals), Danny Carey (Drums), Adam Jones (Guitar) and since 1995 Justin Chancellor (Bass).

The band is known for their influences from electronic sounds and their overly complex and strangely structured songs.

They released their debut album... read more

Hands down the most boring and sleep inducing band I've ever listened to in my life. Their so called artistic music could be a great remedy for people who are insomniacs but, other than that they serve zero purpose or value.

Even the band name is so boring. It's a yawn time every time I try to listen to one of their songs.
Note: not saying they are a bad band, it's just that their music is incredibly exhausting.

Very boring! Every time I try to listen to their songs, I fall asleep.

2 Mariah Carey Mariah Carey, born March 27, 1970, is an American singer, songwriter and actress. She is one of the biggest best-selling women in the music industry, with 18 number 1 records to her name. She is regarded as a sex symbol through her songs and music videos, and she is "well known" for her over-the-top sexy poses and for having breast implants. She is also known to be a diva, and she is well known for... read more

I have to disagree, because most of the music she had are actually creative and not as boring as you think. The vocals and the beautiful music quality are the best pros for her music.

Her music is worthless, who listens to that crap anyway?

3 The Chainsmokers The Chainsmokers are an American DJ and production duo consisting of Alex Pall and Andrew Taggart. The EDM-pop duo achieved a breakthrough with their 2014 song "#Selfie", which was a top twenty single in several countries.
4 Taylor Swift Taylor Alison Swift is an American singer-songwriter. She was born on December 13, 1989, in Reading, Pennsylvania. Swift is best known for writing personal songs and has won 13 Grammy Awards... read more

Definition of boring, I listened to some of her songs and I almost fell asleep to them. Her music is for sleeping, and very boring voice too, no uniqueness in her music.

I do have to admit, not all Taylor's music are boring. The acoustic ones, maybe, but not really. They're actually creative and pretty satisfying to listen to.

5 MF Doom Daniel Dumile (July 13, 1971 - October 31, 2020), also known as MF DOOM, was a British-born hip hop recording artist who spent most of his life in the United States. He died on October 31, 2020, however, his death wasn't revealed until December 31.
6 Justin Bieber Justin Drew Bieber (born March 1, 1994) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, and record producer. He currently resides in Ontario, Canada and is Christian. He is the son of author Pattie Mallette.

Justin Bieber is best known for his songs "Baby" and "What Do You Mean". He currently has seven videos that exceed 1 billion views on YouTube, which are "Baby", "What Do You Mean?", "Sorry", "Love Yourself",... read more

His music is boring, all the songs I have listened to sound the same. Porn, sex, sex, porn, sex, sex, that is all the lyrics are about. The beats are repetitive and he never experiments with genres or tries to add a unique sound to his music or a good, unique topic. Part of what makes an artist great is experimenting with genres, but this guy only does crunkcore, that is it, nothing else.

7 Shawn Mendes Shawn Peter Raul Mendes is a Canadian singer-songwriter and model. He attracted a following in 2013, when he began posting song covers on the popular video sharing application Vine.
8 Katy Perry Katheryn Elizabeth Hudson, professionally known by her stage name Katy Perry, was born on October 25, 1984 in Santa Barbara, California. She is a singer, songwriter, actress and an ambassador on one of the most popular companies of now, UNICEF.

She is also is one of the best-selling artists of all time. She won 4 Guinness World Records, 5 MTV Awards, 5 American Music Awards, 16'ASCAP Pop Music... read more
9 Norah Jones Norah Jones is an American singer, songwriter, pianist & actress. She won several awards and sold more than 45 million records worldwide. Billboard named her as the top jazz artist of the 2000–2009 years.

Absolutely disagree, in a world that demands drum machines, Max Martin type beats, and overproduction, Norah eschews the disgusting trend of impotent pop crap with a hallowing, beautiful, smoky voice that is so incredibly unique (and tried to be copied by so many but failed) and has helped keep Jazz popular. The person that said Norah is "totally boring senseless and slow music" is complete trash. Norah has nine Grammy's, is critically acclaimed, and quite humble. She doesn't seek after fame, power, and money, but simply values her art and honors so many other artists.

No, I think that her song is very smooth,and lovely. EVERY SONG OF HERS IS Amazing.

The fact that Norah is at number two is repugnant. There is a HUGE difference between soft, mellow, relaxing, and soulful music and boring music. Norah is certainly not the latter, unless, like what the user said above, you value Max Martin / Dr.Luke music that suffers from extreme artificiality or heavy metal / EDM and thumping beats, drum machine snapping etc. Norah is an incredibly creative artist that sings and incorporates everything from Vocal Jazz, Soul, Country, Pop, and so many more genres into her music. She has a masterful sense of dynamics, emotiveness and register transitions and a soothing, breathy and husky tonality. How could you possibly call Norah boring when she has collaborated with Bonnie Raitt, sang a duet with Dolly Parton (Creepin' In), the Foo Fighters, Q-Tip, OutKast, Willie Nelson, and Tony Bennett? She has also sung Bollywood music with her half-sister Anoushka Shankar (Traces of You) and is the daughter of Ravi Shankar, arguably the most influential sitarist ever, so much so that George Harrison flew to India to collaborate with him. Her artistry is still going strong (still writing music today) and no longer cares for fame and money, but is constantly refining her style and exploring new techniques. She is a classically trained pianist and a proficient songwriter. Jones embodies a musician that truly loves music first and foremost and fame last.

10 Charlie Puth Charles Otto "Charlie" Puth Jr. is an American singer, songwriter and record producer. His initial exposure came through the viral success of his song videos uploaded to YouTube.
The Contenders
11 Frank Ocean Christopher Edwin Breaux, known professionally as Frank Ocean, is an American singer, songwriter, rapper, record producer and photographer.
12 Drake Aubrey Drake Graham, known professionally as Drake, is a Canadian rapper, singer, songwriter, record producer and actor, born on October 24, 1986 in Toronto, Canada. He started his career on Canadian reality show "Degrassi: The Next Generation".

Definitely top 10 for me he is not terrible but there is just nothing unique or interesting about his music.

How is he not top 5?
