Last July, we wrote about how Google knows the answer to life, the universe, and everything.

Since Google knows everything, it’s only natural that our friendliest search engine would know who the worst band in the world is.

How to Use Google to Find Out Who Is the Worst Band in the World

All you have to do is type the following into any Google search box:

worst band in the world

Alternatively, you can click this link to have us take you directly to the Google search results for the worst band in the world.

You will find the following results, which don’t deviate too far from normal until you get past the third result.

Worst Band In the World Google Search Results

Unfortunately for many Creed fans, Google suggests that we look at results for Creed when typing in worst band in the world.

Why Does Google Think Creed is the Worst Band In the World?

Perhaps it is the work of a Google Bomb, where several pages on the internet link to creed.com while describing the link as a link to the worst band in the world.  After all, that’s how George W. Bush made it to the top of the Google search results for the keywords miserable failure.

Another view is that Google couldn’t find enough search results for worst band in the world and enough people have called Creed the worst band in the world that Google thinks that those phrases are synonymous.

A third hypothesis is that all three of Creed’s albums are selling used for only a penny on Amazon.com.   Perhaps Google and Amazon have a secret partnership to exploit the cheapest used products…

Conclusion

Whatever the reason for these results, it is an obvious flaw in Google’s search algorithm that should be fixed.  Google finally fixed the George W. Bush = Miserable Failure Google bomb after a couple of years by changing their search algorithm – something that should be done again to make Google an unbiased search engine when it comes to music bands.
