Guest onlynik Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?id=466Sadly I like quite a few of them. I could easily add more to the list. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben_1903 Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 These bands have (or have had) record contracts. The guy who made the website doesn't.Shite website. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diesel Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Hilarious!Some you just can't argue with (Celine Dion, Malmsteen).There's more than a few missing though (U2, Oasis) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scottyboy Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 pretty surprised the doors are on there. wouldn't really argue with any of the other choices though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
french_disko Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 These bands have (or have had) record contracts. The guy who made the website doesn't.Shite website.That's right - any band that has a contract MUST be good and, more importantly, above criticism or reproach. it made me laugh - and it's hard to argue with the choices (apart from Primus, who I love - then again, it IS funny).EDIT - and Skinny Puppy! then again, they're not exactly beyond parody at times!

Guest bluesxman Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 Iron Butterfly? Oh come on, In A Gadda Da Vida is a classic! Especially through use in Manhunter....actually I got that album on the basis of that song and the rest is pretty shite.I'm actually finding Insane Clown Posse at number 1 quite amusing, are they really that well known in comparison to some of the other inclusions?

Skull Commander Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 No way Live should be included in this! A 50 worst is just as useful as a 50 best, or a cool list. :S Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camie Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 That's right - any band that has a contract MUST be good and, more importantly, above criticism or reproach. Especially Micheal Bolton:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially through use in Manhunter....actually I got that album on the basis of that song and the rest is pretty shite.Yep, was just going to post this and the Simpsons thing until I saw you guys had beaten me to it.Did you know that Ringo Starr admitted that his ace drum solo at the end of Abbey Road was ripped off from In A Gadda Da Vida.To be honest, apart from Iron Butterfly and The Doors, it's pretty hard to argue with most of that list, and it's very well written.

Guest Tam o' Shantie Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 These bands have (or have had) record contracts. The guy who made the website doesn't.Shite website.Nothing is a higher gauge of the quality of a band than the fact that they have a record contract. All time greats such as Mr Blobby, The Cheeky Girls, Daphne & Celeste being prime examples. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest bluesxman Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I got into the The Doors in my late teens, thought they were the best thing since sliced bread. As time has passed I find the more 'mystical' and 'poetry' orientated material totally cringeworthy but the straight ahead rock/bluesy stuff is still pretty good.Some of the entries are quite bizarre, i.e. Primus - I've never listened to them much but surely there are worse bands than that? At the end of the day it's obviously one man's gripe list. I may try and make my own top 50 if I get bored enough today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spoonie Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 there are quite a number of acts on that list who i love and i own too many of the albums on there (arrested development, spin doctors, primus, jamiroquai, the doors, whitesnake, etc.) BUT i thought it was funny as fuck. some of the taglines are brilliant. particular highlights included: RICK WAKEMAN - Can play two synthesizers at once but nothing that people want to hearandYNGWIE MALMSTEEN - Big on solos, short on songsbanter!! /x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 I don't think many of those acts are really the worst artists in music history. With the exception of Michael Bolton.I mean there's some fucking atrocious acts out there from the last 20 years that really are 4 or 5 grades of hell below the majority of that list and they don't get a look in.
