A Look Back on the Beatles, the Worst Band of the 1990s

Certain musical acts are so terrible that they become synonymous with a particular era. You didn’t like them, and it doesn’t seem like anybody you knew liked them, and yet they were omnipresent. We’re talking the Bee Gees in the late ‘70s, or Nickelback in the early 2000s. The absolute worst band of the ‘90s was, of course, the Beatles. How many of these godawful chart-toppers from the band Rolling Stone dubbed “The Forgettable Four” do you remember?
