Bands that Should Just Stop

Not every band releases a magnum opus in their later years, excluding Rush and Paradise Lost. Not every band still has the chops and the skills, like Fear Factory. Most bands don't fade out gracefully...The following bands should take a note from Rollins Band - quit while you’re ahead (or at least b4 you tarnish your legacy).
1Foo Fighters
Medicine at Midnight


Band was already spent b4 Taylor Hawkins passed away. Now a new album w/o him. Last great album was Wasting Light - and it's been really hit or miss (more on the latter) afterwards. Just call it quits.
2Staind
Staind


Please God - this is the last release we all need. TBH - I have heard way too much of (wanna-be redneck from MA) Aaron Lewis. Can’t handle any more!!!
3Motley Crue
The Dirt Soundtrack


Didn’t they sign a contract never to record or tour again - and here we are again. And them trying to oust Mick Mars - who was mostly responsible for their signature sound of old? Can’t Vince, Tommy, and Nikki age out peacefully? Apparently not.
4Nickelback
Get Rollin'


How many more same-same, formulaic albums must we endure. This also goes out to Shinedown, Breaking Benjamin, and the like on mainstream metal radio - you had your time.
5Metallica
72 Seasons


I like this album - but probably time to start winding down.
6Megadeth
The Sick, the Dying... and the Dead!


Same to u Megadeth - end on a high note (The Sick…), not another Super Collider.
7Ozzy Osbourne
Patient Number 9


It’s ok to step away when you’re having bad health issues. No need to return to the stage and put yourself at risk. Also, on a side note, ur dream band would be boring AF.
8Pantera
Far Beyond the Great Southern Cowboys...


Not an issue with them touring. But some things are better left in the past - for several reasons.
9Disturbed
Divisive


As much as I like to hear a full album on US divisive politics - maybe time to be making that step out.
10Geoff Tate
Kings & Thieves


We’ve all heard enough Queensryche
11KISS
Kiss Rocks Vegas


Damn - are these dinosaurs of mediocre rock still out there. Time to go the fuckaway. Update: according to ballsohard22, they have retired - thank fuck!
12Dream Theater
A View from the Top of the World


You got a Grammy (or some award) - and moved into high (Tool-level) respect levels for prog Metal. James Labrie isn’t getting any better (or changing up his vocal style). Word of advice - stop while ur ahead.
13Stone Temple Pilots
Perdida


Does anyone actually buy these albums or go to these shows? Good lord - call it quits.
14Pearl Jam
Gigaton


PJ and RHCP - boring!!! Please stop.
15Nightwish
HUMAN. :II: NATURE.


EFMB was great - could have been a great, impactful final album. And then came HIIN with no Marco and an overall weak, redundant sound. We had heard this before - and done better. Do we need a third in a so called trilogy of these albums. We know the world is going to shit.
16Guns N' Roses
Chinese Democracy


Could a band be any more washed up?
17Avenged Sevenfold
Life Is But A Dream...


Same as above - you had ur time. But nothing's been as exciting or that interesting since the Rev passed away.
18Godsmack
Lighting Up the Sky


The transition to mainstream sounds on When Legends Rise was enough. Any reason to tarnish your legacy further?
19Stone Sour
Hydrograd


Love this band - but there's not much else for this band to accomplish. Best to stay in that hiatus.
20Iron Maiden
Senjutsu


Please keep releasing prog metal masterpiece double albums! But the touring bit - could perhaps step away from that.
