This could be solo artists, groups or even studios if you want.

Green Day: It's like mainstream radio has a GD quota to fill every few years. They haven't made a great song in decades and yet new content from them keeps getting shoveled into the feed. They don't deserve the airplay they get IMO. Mediocre band at best.

Lynyrd Skynyrd: I don't think a single original member is still breathing and there's still an active band touring under this banner. It's pathetic.

Billy Idol. I'm almost embarrassed for him.

Definitely agree here. It's a damn embarrassment.

My submission is the rolling stones. They should have hung it up when Charlie Watts died but they're still touring.

The Cure. Old man goth feeling weird.

Ozzy. Sharon trying to milk one more out of him. Dude will die on the road.

Touring yes, but I wouldn’t mind another record or two. The last couple of albums have been great, for a guy his age. Amazingly he still has his voice.

Motley Crue should have stopped after the Carnival of Sin Reunion Tour 2005-2006. They have been a disgrace since then & I am most embarrassed for John 5. He is way too good to be in Motley Crue now.

Madonna out there trying to be edgy and original at 65 is maybe most cringe thing I have seen in awhile.

AC/DC. It’s more like Angus and Friends these days.

As far as Skynyrd goes, that band died when Ronnie died. Just a cover band for 45 years.

Patient Number 9 is great, with Zakk, Iommi, Clapton, Trujillo, Duff, Chad Smith, and Hawkins.

I think The Cure still have it based on last tour I saw.

ZZ should call it a day, however.

Saw them live earlier this year, they killed it.

Maybe any singer singing while in a wheelchair could be the standard.

Paul McCartney.

He gave his all but his voice is absolute toast. Ringo sings better nowadays.

Same. Saw them at the Hollywood bowl in 2023 and they were great!

Unfortunately I’ll have to add

Guns n Roses

Slash can still wail but Axl is toast

Any rappers of the past 25 years, if those count as musical acts.
