How dare they, Yngwie does not suck. Air Supply does though.

Now I got "We built this city" stuck in my head. Thanks.

Gotta agree with We Built This City as the worst song of all time.

I might say that "Sweet Zoe Jane" might the the worst new song out there by Stained. I get emabarrassed listening to it.

Milli Vanilli might be the worst band of all time.

Just be happy you don't have "Achy Breaky Heart" stuck in your head

Please tell me "A little story about Jack and Diane" is number 11.

Sucking on a chilli do all right!

I can't argue with any of it. Is there not enough room or does Whitney Houston have her own special Hall of Shame?? Maybe it's under Bobby's name?

I don't believe Milli Vanilli even qualifies..

I've got "Wang Chung" stuck in my head......

......and it's not really bothering me.

[superdork]Everybody have fun tonight, everybody wa... [/sd]

They think Primus is worse than Celine Dion? WTF???

1. Insane Clown Posse

3. Michael Bolton

4. Kenny G

23. Creed (should be in the top five)

26. Celine Dion (also way way worse than jamiroquai, top five)

24. Bad English

25. Jamiroquai

27. Colour Me Bad (but i wanna sex you up!)

46. The Spin Doctors (top ten)

47. Goo Goo Dolls (also a top ten in my book)

28. Crash Test Dummies

35. Paul Oakenfold (totally sucks, good call)

36. 98 Degrees

37. The Doors (one of the worst famous groups)

38. Nelson (is pretty rad, for the genre)

Barbra Steisand didn't even make the list, it's rigged.

Les Claypool must have pissed in someones coffee he made it the list with two different bands.

I really have to disagree with the inclusion of Blind Melon, especially when Kriss Kross isn't there.

That list is bull-hooey. I own a copy of 8 of those 10 songs and stand by the purchase of each and every one.

Eddie Murphy is a musical genius.

Ebony and Ivory is a dope tune.

Those lists were obviously created to cause some arguments thereby improving readership. Half the songs and bands obviously belong there and half obviously don't. It's not that hard to see.

What a coincidence. Blender just made the number 1 spot on my list of "Bullshit magazines that create arbitrary and irrelevant lists to sell magazines because the staff is a bunch of overweight, undertalented j-school dropouts who think they can score with the models displayed in the magazine despite living with their parents at the age of 34 and riding the bus for the last 10 years"

Note that Maxim and FHM came in with special honors.

How about "Do You Believe" by Cher. Gotta be one of the worst ever.

Not sure why ELP is the second worst band ever. They aren't great, but certainly not THAT band.

Also I think putting The Doors in the list is horseshit. OK, some of Morrison's stuff can be a little over the top, but they also have some of the greatest rock songs in history.
