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

Boring and garbage band, Maynard should announce his retirement from creating craps and also exterminate his awful band's existence. Their latest album was embarrassing and equivalent to a musical curse, ever since it's release there has been a surge in the number of daily ear appointments all over the world and with God's grace my ears are functioning well even after being exposed to this debilitating filth in radio.

All their songs sound the same and most of them bears vulgar and immature lyricism. They are not even a metal band yet, their annoying, pretentious, and obnoxious fanbase keep shoving them into the Prog Metal category. In my opinion, they are a bland, boring, and pretentious band that severely lacks creativity and inspiration.

Their last three albums were a super exhausting listen, it felt like forever as was I listening to them, nearly all of the songs sounded so samey, boring and uninspiring, I can't even recall a single riff off any of their songs. They're so overhyped that the listener is bound to feel underwhelmed and disappointed.

Garbage band! I hear their songs on the radio all the time especially the pot and it's gets so annoying after a minute or so. All my friends like this awful band and they try hard to convert me to listen to their boring songs but, I'd rather break the friendship than listen to this band.

2 Adele Adele Laurie Blue Adkins (born 5 May 1988) is an English singer and songwriter. Graduating from the BRIT School for Performing Arts and Technology in 2006, Adele was given a recording contract by XL Recordings after a friend posted her demo on Myspace the same year. She is best known with her international hit singles like Rolling in the Deep, Someone Like You, Hello, Easy On Me and the success of... read more

By far THE WORST artist EVER. And by artist, I mean one that's not a band. Green Day, Nirvana, Linkin Park, and My Chemical Romance are all WAY worse than Adele.

You haters are probably fans of any number of drongo singers on this site. Adele has a FABULOUS voice, she's a GREAT songwriter & an EXCELLENT performer.

Adele has a beautiful singing voice, but can you honestly tell me as a human being that you were indulged and wide awake through her album 25?

3 The Grateful Dead The Grateful Dead was an American rock band formed in 1965 in Palo Alto, California. Ranging from quintet to septet, the band is known for its unique and eclectic style, which fused elements of country, folk, bluegrass, blues, reggae, rock, improvisational jazz, psychedelia, space rock, for live performances of lengthy instrumental jams, and for their devoted fan base, known as "Deadheads".

As a rapidly aging but still dancing Deadhead I just wanted to say that...oh man, I forgot what I was gonna say... oh yeah, how amusing that the boys (that's what we called them back in the day) are considered the champions of boredom by so many people. We're number one! They always inspired very powerful emotions on a broad scale, including passionate haters with surplus negative energy to vent I guess. I kind of wish there had been more of them because the massive popularity of Dead shows kept on growing and growing until it kind of poisoned the scene a bit. But because that stew produced jokes like this one:
What did the deadhead say when the drugs wore off? This music sucks. / or, Knock knock. Who's there? Jerry and Phil. Jerry and Phil who? Exactly. /or finally: Nobody goes to Dead shows anymore. It's too crowded.
And just a warning, if you find the grateful deads to be boring, DO NOT go see Ratdog or you might fall into a coma.

4 U2 U2 are an Irish rock band from Dublin. Formed in 1976, the group consists of Bono, the Edge, Adam Clayton, and Larry Mullen Jr. U2's early sound was rooted in post-punk but eventually grew to incorporate influences from many genres of popular music. Throughout the group's musical pursuits, they have maintained a sound built on melodic instrumentals. Their lyrics, often embellished with spiritual imagery,... read more

Every song sounds the same and they don't seem to know how to play their instruments very well. Yeah, I'd say they belong here.

This should be higher!

5 Ludwig van Beethoven Ludwig van Beethoven was a German composer and pianist. A crucial figure in the transition between the Classical and Romantic eras in Western art music, he remains one of the most famous and influential of all composers. His best-known compositions include 9 symphonies, 5 piano concertos, 1 violin concerto, 32 piano sonatas, 16 string quartets, his great Mass the Missa solemnis, and one opera, Fidelio... read more

The only reason Beethoven is here is because people don't have the patience and the musical literacy to recognize his work for what it is. Everyone's too busy listening to their Top 40 charts fluff (because music isn't good without "Whoa, Oh, Oh" in it, right kids? )

Beethovan and most of the classical music from his era are masterpieces, but like all things, music has evolved into a more fast-pased, complex art form, so classical music is associated with dull.

Who in the world thinks music has "evolved into a more fast-paced, COMPLEX art form"?
It is in fact the exact opposite of "complex" these days, music is now totally simplistic, mindless, and brainless.

6 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".

Yes! Drake has become so boring over the years it's not even funny! I'll admit some of his songs have nice beats, but he always sounds so lazy and uninterested.

Oh GOSH! He's SO boring! Ryan Higa pretty much summarized his music up perfectly in his "How to Sing Like Your Favorite Artists Part 2" video. His voice is also autotuned to death.

His voice is like being smash over the head with a brick

7 Coldplay Coldplay are a British pop rock band formed in 1996. The band consists of Chris Martin (lead vocalist and pianist), Jonny Buckland (lead guitarist), Guy Berryman (bassist) and Will Champion (drummer and backing vocalist). Manager Phil Harvey is often considered an unofficial fifth member. The band renamed themselves "Coldplay" in 1998. Before making their debut album, they recorded and released three... read more

I will respect your opinion because I am a semi-nice person, but I personally love Coldplay. Most of the artists on this list don't have fast paced songs about sex and drugs, which seems to be the only things that people are interested in these days. Now, Coldplay doesn't make songs about the stuff that you guys seem to like. The closest there is is Hymn for The Weekend, but that has Beyonce, so of course it isn't their normal style. Besides, you're basing this off of the Superbowl halftime which was horrible because of Bruno Mars. You may find Coldplay boring, but I find that their music is much better than many things out there.

The only reason why the garbage music that's selling these days is selling so much and so popular is because it's marketed a ton. It makes teens and pre-teens think everyone is listening to it. Herd mentality. It's just sad.

They are the most boring band in the history of music. Been going since 96 and have never made a decent song yet all their music is whining whinging depressing miserable repetitive rubbish

8 Dave Matthews Band Dave Matthews Band is an American rock band that was formed in Charlottesville, Virginia in 1991. The founding members were singer-songwriter and guitarist Dave Matthews, bassist Stefan Lessard, drummer/backing vocalist Carter Beauford and saxophonist LeRoi Moore.

I am an aspired drummer, so I have to takes notes from this band, ahem, Carter Beauford, for techniques and stuff. I listen to Carter...and no one else on the band because the other musicians are just so bland. I'm sorry, but repetition does not equal your own style.

The Grateful Dead of the 1990's. Pretty much all of their albums are dull and seem like the same. They're just an uninteresting band.

According to Nibbler from Futurama, "The Dave Matthews Band doesn't rock."

9 21 Savage Shayaa Bin Abraham-Joseph (born October 22, 1992), better known by his stage name 21 Savage, is an American rapper. He received attention for projects such as Free Guwop (2015) as well as Savage Mode (2016, with Metro Boomin) before going on to release his debut album, Issa Album (2017). He is best known for his songs "Bank Account" (2017), "No Heart" (2016), and "X" (2016), and for his feature on... read more

Finally someone whose music IS actually boring! I just find his voice to be like a monotone and make me slowly dislike the song more and more, though I don't know what it is about his voice that's so boring

More trap garbage

10 Ed Sheeran Edward Christopher "Ed" Sheeran is an English singer-songwriter and musician. He sang songs such as The A team and Shape of You. He was born in Hebden Bridge in Yorkshire and raised in Framlingham, Suffolk.

Looks cute but can he sing? Not really however he does a good boring mono tone.

If there's no Pharrell, I'm out. If not for Pharrell, he'd probably be flopping.

The Contenders
11 Lana Del Rey Lana Del Rey is a California based singer, songwriter, and model who currently resides in Malibu, California. She was born under the name Elizabeth Woolridge Grant to entrepreneur Robert England Jr. and Patricia Ann Hill in rural Lake Placid, New York on June 21, 1985.

Yes, this one is the most boring.

12 Radiohead Radiohead are an English rock band from Abingdon, Oxfordshire, formed in 1985. The band consists of Thom Yorke (lead vocals, guitar, piano, keyboards), Jonny Greenwood (lead guitar, keyboards, other instruments), Colin Greenwoood (bass guitar), Phil Selway (drums), and Ed O'Brien (guitar).

Kid A is a really boring album in my opinion. The only song on the album I liked was Optimistic.

13 Neutral Milk Hotel

How were they not here already?

14 Tame Impala Tame Impala is an Australian psychedelic rock band founded by Kevin Parker in 2007. The group began as a home recording project for Parker, who writes, records, performs, and produces the music.

For those that haven't heard Tame Impala, think Muse on LCD. I personally like some of their songs, especially "Apocalypse Dreams" which is one of their more exciting songs. However, the lead vocalist's voice, while impressive, is vastly dull in terms of variation, and the majority of their songs are slow and boring.

This list is retarded

I don't find them boring.

15 Young Dolph

Not only that, but he'll kill your brain cells.

16 Spoon Spoon is an American rock band formed in Austin, Texas. The band comprises Britt Daniel, Jim Eno, Rob Pope, and Alex Fischel.

I love Spoon, but of you listen to a song like "Inside Out", that pretty much sums up most of their songs, which is why I don't listen to them as much as I used to.

17 Frank Sinatra Francis Albert "Frank" Sinatra (December 12, 1915 – May 14, 1998) was an American singer, actor, and producer who was one of the most popular and influential musical artists of the 20th century. He is one of the best-selling music artists of all time, having sold more than 150 million records worldwide.

I can't stand more than three songs of Frank Sinatra in a row... it's like he always sing the same song with everything even with the lack of passion.

Wait... you're calling Frank Sinatra of all people boring? Well... that's interesting to say of the least.

A classic, but not really as popping as in the 1950's...

Her songs are repetitive and slow. I yawn when I read the titles of her songs she's that boring.

The reason why she is here is her all the songs are same...

Boring, yeah. Inappropriate, yep. Trash, you bet.
