http://www.blender.com/lists/67198/50-worst-artists-in-music-history.html This list is a joke. The Doors? Come on. Blind Melon, Live, Skinny Puppy, Primus, Oingo Boingo and Kansas are on there too. No list of "the worst artists of all time" that includes The Doors and excludes Justin Bieber has any credibility whatsoever.
Wow, that writer isn't going to make many friends. He probably just put The Doors in there so it generated some controversy over an article no one would otherwise give a damn about. I'm surprised he didn't include Elvis Presley or Bob Dylan, because from his comments on Crash Test Dummies, he seems to have a thing against singers with funny voices like Dylan (that's a joke - Dylan fans please don't firebomb me or singers who get fat like Jim Morrison and Elvis.

Bad enough to have The Doors on the list but no worst music artists list is complete without the likes of Nickelback, Britney Spears, Justin Bieber, Backstreet Boys....
I totally agree with what is at no.1 though. But any list that brands Jamiroquai as "talentless" is worthy of nought but the bin. Jay Kay might be ripping off Stevie Wonder, but the band are anything but talentless.
I've seen that list before and, to be honest, I enjoyed reading it. It probably helps that I'm not a fan of any of the acts on the list (including The Doors), but come on, no one wants to read an article like that and find a roll call of forgettable teen idols, do they?
The article just comes across as someone who hates music. He also also seems to have a thing against Canadian musicians, and by that, I mean that they list an artist's appalling fact as being Canadian. This alone discredits the article for me.
^ Crash Test Dummies are ok, but all their songs sound the same to me. Seems he left a lot off the list that deserve to be included. Color Me Badd though, I remember when I was a kid and I hated them with a fiery passion.
Yeah, this music list is the list of a wanna be hater. It's like Rolling Stone's 50 Best lists, which just go with the flow of the teen scene. Plus, it's from Maxim. They're too busy selling Axe deodorant, and showing side boob and top crack, to know anything about music.
Blender's worst movies of all time: 1. BloodRayne 2. Highlander 2: The Quickening 3. The Godfather 4. Apocalypse Now 5. Batman & Robin 6. Meet the Spartans 7. Lawrence of Arabia 8. E.T. 9. White Chicks 10. Raiders of the Lost Ark
Yeah, that appalling fact. I like them. They can at least claim to sound unique, unlike say, Nickelback and any of their copycats.
Any list like this that doesn't include The Eagles, let alone place them at #1 with a bullet is complete horseshit. That is all.
First off, The Eagles are awsome. I can't stand Music magazines these days, they aren't worth a shit. The only one that has any credible journalists is Rolling Stone. All that bieng said, I can't say I disagree with this list all that much. I do disagree with The Doors bieng on the list. I also disagree with Arested Development and Blind Melon bieng on the list. This guy does seem like a jagoff though.
What a strange list. It seems equal parts obvious criticism of artists everyone knows are terrible and then rage-filled backlash at bands that achieved popularity. A better name for this list would be, "50 Artists That Undeservedly Achieved Popularity," because that's what it really is.
Add in Linkin Park and Limp Bizkit also. But the list was written at the start of year, so most people wouldn't known of Bieber I think. Agreed, but Nickelback will always be the worse band in my eyes. This list kinder reminds me of the Max's A to Z of Shit Music
The list doesn't include Savage Garden and thus is even more utterly meaningless than these sorts of lists usually are. Pure, unadulterated shit in recorded form. Another worthy contender.
It seems to be a combination of the usual suspects(Celine, Kenny, Michael) which doesn't show much imagination, and a kind of "I know what real rock & roll is" pomposity, so he has to include bands like ELP and Kansas to show that prog rock "isn't real rock maaaaaannnnnnn".
Their mid-to-late '90s stuff is hilarious. After that they started taking themselves seriously, and that's where they failed.
