LOS ANGELES - Limp Bizkit, which suffered sales of its long-awaited new album, has been named worst band of the year by readers of Guitar World magazine.
Creed, another act that draws sharp reactions, came in at No. 2 even though the Christian combo took the year off. New York rockers the Strokes were No. 3, followed by all pop-punk bands at No. 4 and pop-punk band Good Charlotte at No. 5.
Limp Bizkits Results May Vary has sold one million copies after 13 weeks, and ranks No. 64 on the U.S. pop charts. Its previous release, 2000s "Chocolate Starfish and the Hotdog Flavored Water, ranked No. 5 after 13 weeks with sales of four million copies.
Metallicas poor-selling new album, St. Anger, was named biggest disappointment, but it also came in at No. 2 as the best metal album, ranking behind Black Label Societys The Blessed Hellride.
Metallicas Kirk Hammett was named best metal guitarist, a possible consolation prize for having all his solos cut from "St. Anger, and Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl was named best rock guitarist, notwithstanding his initial claim to fame as the drummer with defunct rock band Nirvana.
Another long-gone band, Led Zeppelin, released the best rock album of 2003, the 3-CD live package How the West Was Won, according to Guitar World readers. That category was rounded out by Audioslaves self-titled debut, the White Stripes Elephant, Lynyrd Skynyrds Vicious Cycle and Rushs Rock in Rio.

Uh-oh.
