The Ten Best Bands Ruined by Bad Movies This Decade

This decade saw some cool things happen, but more importantly it saw some very bad movies, movies that were so bad that they were not saved by their good soundtracks -- in fact, so bad that they ruined all bands in their awesome soundtracks. Here’s a list of the ten best bands ruined by bad movies this past decade.

10. Jet- Spiderman 3
As it was Jet was not my favorite band, although I did have a couple of songs. After they put a song in Spiderman 3, I couldn’t bear to hear them. Spiderman 3 was really good in one aspect… and that was ruining everything associated with it, even the first Spiderman.

9. David Gilmore- Swing Vote
I had never expected David Gilmore to ever show up on a soundtrack… but he did. The worst part is that of all movies, his music was featured in Swing Vote. It should be illegal to make comedies about obviously impossible hypothetical situations.

8. Pierce Brosnan- Mama Mia
Pierce Brosnan had no previous musical career to be ruined by this abomination of cinema, but my opinion of him was so thoroughly ruined by this movie that his non-existent musical career makes sense… and it’s more accurate to say he was ruined than to say Abba was every good enough to be ruined.

7. Creedence Clearwater Revival- Evan Almighty
Again, stupid hypothetical questions make movies of proportionate inadequacy. Putting Creedence in there was simply unfair because I’m sure that no one who was old enough to remember CCR let even a chuckle slip during this ghastly spectacle… maybe a tear.

6. Pink Floyd- School of Rock
There were a ton of bands ruined by School of Rock, but Pink Floyd happened to be my favorite. I don’t remember if Pink Floyd even had a song in the movie, but just by mentioning them in a scene or two, Pink Floyd definitely had their name sullied.

5. Queen- The Love Guru
I’m pretty sure Queen was in many bad movies this decade however The Love Guru was unique in the sense that it ruined both Mike Myers and Queen at the same time.

4. Velvet Underground- Juno
Juno wasn’t actually a bad movie unless you watched it a second time and then you realized that the only reason you liked it the first time was for the music, which was thereafter tragically reminiscent of Juno’s bad acting

3. Muse- Twilight
That’s right, I said it! I don’t think I’ve listened to Black Holes and Revelations since I heard that “Supermassive Black Hole” was in Twilight. Is nothing sacred?

2. Radiohead- Twilight
As if butchering the immense amount of respect I had for Muse was not enough, they went so far as to play “15 Steps” for the credits. This awful series should stay with a soundtrack more fitting with the quality of the acting and writing, like Miley Cirrus or some other garbage of that nature.

1. Thom York- New Moon
Twilight was bad, but New Moon was even worse. For those of you who didn’t see it, it was basically a 2-hour-long Abercrombie commercial in the sense that it drew its fan base on the premise that shirtless vampires is worth a movie. Apparently Thom York agreed because, to the horror of all those not entranced by the half-naked Halloween characters, he actually wrote (not just authorized the use of but wrote) a song specifically for New Moon.
