Somewhat amusing, not to be taken too seriously.

How is Live on that list?

Dunno.
But I'm glad Kenny G and Micheal Bolton made it near the top.

Except for Pain Down by the Riverside, they stink.

For a little while they were challenging U2 in the 'Take Yourselves Too Seriously' contest.

There are many many others who better deserve that spot on the 50 worst list, don't you agree?

I like question 4, answer b. :p

The Doors?? Far worse bands could have been included.

I wouldn't say many, they belong in the top 75 anyway.

The fact that The Doors is on this list makes me question the intelligence of the writers.

The Doors are probably the only one on that list that would likely also make a top 50 of all time.

I agree Live should not have been on the list. They were a great band starting out, but I admit they started taking themselves way too seriously after a while. Blind Melon has no business on that list either. Anyone who thinks No Rain is what that band was about has obviously never listened to them. The Spin Doctors were not really around long enough to warrant being on a list like that. The description is pretty spot on, but I don't know if they belong with the 50 worst ever. Ironically, my step brother just played a show with the lead singer from the Spin Doctors last night.

How does this band not make that list?

Unleash the fooookin foooooory!

these people have taste up their asses-anybody that can put The Doors,Live,Toad the wet Sprocket,The Hooters,Richard Marx,Dan Fogelberg,Kansas,ELP AND Mick Jagger on any kind of worst-ever list hasn't been paying attention too well the last 40 years

No "Right Said Fred?" That list is bogus!

I may be a little jaded as I like around 10 artists on that list. :bag:

LOL I'm too sexy for my shirt...I'll tell you I actually SAW 98 Degrees and there was NO FRICKIN WAY they were singing live-impossible.I was doing a gig at a venue they were playing and they had a TV monitor in the VIP area and these guys are running all over the stage staying in perfect pitch an hour and a half straight-I'm a singer and I tell you it is impossible

U2 should be top five.

I believe it! Here is a story for you:

My ex-wife told me that back in the mid 80's her Dad bought tickets for the New Kids on the Block concert at Foxboro for her and her sisters.

Poor Dad had no idea that his daughers thought it was very lame. But being the good daughters that they were they went to the concert and actually liked it!

My ex was into Metallica at the time so this was a big admission on her part to tell me she enjoyed the show!

Believe it or not the New Kids did not lip synch. Although she did tell me that couldn't hear the vocals that well as there were 30,000 10 year-old girls screaming the whole time!

U2 should be top five.

oh yea I agree definitely top 5 greatest all time

You'd think if 9 people wrote the thing, which apparantly is the case, that there would have to be somebody smart enough to veto the doors from the list and save at least a little credibility. And I thought Rolling Stone had the monopoly on bad music "lists"

they did a good version of Didn't I Blow Your Mind This Time? Those cats got more pookie than all of us guys here combined. What a great way to grow up...they had to have lived good previous lives... their karma seems to have been pretty good

How is Live on that list?

How is it not higher?

And I thought Rolling Stone had the monopoly on bad music "lists"

Yeah, me too.
Their top 100 guitarists of all time was pretty funny.

Live and The Doors do not belong on the list, IMO. The rest are pretty bad though.

It doesn't make sense. Just like Patriots fans on a Jets message board! http://www.jetnation.com/forums/images/icons/icon10.gif

Bay City Rollers. If they aren't on there, they should be.

Holy Cr*p.

oh yea I agree definitely top 5 greatest all time

Worst.

Manowar is on there.....blasphemy!! :)

LOL knew ICP would be on the list. Sucks I kinda like 'em:bag:

I dont see how Live,Blind Melon,Toad the Wet Sprocket made it onto the list. The Goo Goo Dolls too, I'm a fan and their music is pretty good for the genre. Speaking of bad lists,where are the cruddy boy bands that should be near the top of the list?

I believe it! Here is a story for you:


Here's another funny one...

While in the Army, I was sent down to Miami after Hurricane Andrew. I was lucky enough to get tix to the Hurricane Relief Concert. Chicks love a guy in uniform is all I have to say, but I digress.

John Secada came out singing one of his quasi-hits, and was drinking water when his voice came over the speakers. I wonder how he did that?

There are some real bad bands on there, but the 9 authorities just prove again that musical appreciation is all personal taste. From my experience, the vast majority of our populous (much, much, better than 50%) has little or no appreciation for well written songs played by talented musicians. This gets proofed out daily by just turning on the radio. The guys who are in the business of selling music to the world, much more often than not, take a song from a band that is catchy in some non-descript way and pitch that to radio stations because thats what the majority of listeners will like. Hence, unless we buy the CD, we usually don't get to hear the bands good songs. Ask 10 random people what songs the Allman Brothers do and 6 or 7 will tell you Ramblin Man. That's my point.
If anybody's interested and listen's to web streams, there's a station out of Chicago that streams their daily broadcast's but has another real cool stream. The stations producers put out a stream called Deep Tracks. They take the best other album cuts that never got airtime and play them all day and night with no commercials. It won't be for everybody as it's late 60's, 70's, and into the eighty's, but it's already turned me on to some real great cuts by bands I never bought any music from. Check it out -

A list made by wimps and posers, clearly.

I like a few of those bands...Spin Doctors, Blind Melon, Live, and I must admit, some Insane Clown Posse songs that I've heard make me laugh. Two guys absolutely devoid of talent without a doubt though.

thanks NJ I just added it to my favorite places in the music sites catergory

you could have made a list of the 50 worst artists of history just by the artists who came out this year. just watch mtv for an hour

My only disagreement is with Primus being on that list. I loved those guys in highschool, man.

Right around '93, they were the sh*t.

I would nominate The Barenaked Ladies to take that spot.
