8. Stone Temple Pilots
While the band’s future with Linkin Park frontman Chester Bennington looks bright (we’ll forgive that little Soundwave snafu), their 2008 reunion with famously volatile former frontman Scott Weiland has so far cost the band two lawsuits, a lot of harsh words, and plenty of sighs from fans.

7. Queen
The last thing we want to do is detract from the talent and musical contributions of Queen’s other members, but anyone can tell you that without Freddie Mercury, Queen is just another band. It’s a shame the members are only now so adamant about preserving the iconic frontman’s legacy.

6. Van Halen
Check out the “See what I mean” at 1:53 or the “record machine” at 0:59 in the video below and tell us that Van Halen reuniting with David Lee Roth was a good idea. But hey, singing wasn’t really his talent in the first place. Of course at almost 60 years old, he isn’t being much a showman either.

5. Spice Girls
The Spice Girls had kind of overstayed their welcome by the time they broke up anyway. By the time they reunited, their relevance had well and truly receded, and one had to question why they felt the need to reunite at all. We certainly won’t question the integrity of a band with their own pizza.
