This is a question Worst Band Ever

If I was in charge of the B3ta fatwa department, we wouldn't be hearing too much from Simply Red in the future. Who's on your musical shit list and why?

Hmmm, twisting the definition of band
to be a group of people singing, in which case I'll submit 'people singing happy birthday', because in 99.9999% of cases, the singers will change key halfway through when they shouldn't, at least once.

At the word birthday in the third line, "Happy BIRTH-day dear thingy, it jumps a full octave. Most people can't or don't realise and will sing something else, it averages out at about a major 5th and they will then sing the rest of that line in that key, and then the last line in some other arbitrary key, usually about 2 to 3 tones lower than when they started. And in nearly all cases, they're all in a different key at the end making them sound like a Welsh choir through an opposite-making machine.

Was in a restaurant the other day where we all joined in
singing "Happy Birthday" to some random kid who had had a plate of whipped cream with a couple of sparklers stuck in brought out to him. Everyone was putting their heart and soul in to the song, until we got to his name. The whole restaurant, including his friends, went completely silent for those two beats before the final rousing crescendo and much laughter.

Excellent
Though I would've been tempted to make up a name. 'Stranger' most likely.

I agree
As a musician I make it a point to never join in with Happy Brithday, because it's always so woeful.

In addition I would like to add handclaps to your rant. You know when you're watching a band and they say "Everyone clap your hands"? Well I don't, I put my hands in my pockets.

Why? Because everyone ALWAYS claps on the down-beat like this:

CLAP - 2 - CLAP - 4.

NOOOOOO! No no no no no! It should be:

1 - CLAP - 3 - CLAP.

One is right, the other just isn't and I refuse to be a part of it.
