Although I have to agree that I'm not a big fan of Fall Out Boy (EMO city), you can't possibly think that a band like Fugazi, Joy Division, Fuel, and Interpol are horrible...seriously??? Bjork - I think she's one of the most influential musicians in the modern world. Listening to her first 2 CDs Debut and Post alone should give the listener an inclination of how talented she is. The singles Human Behavior and Army of Me alone shows her range of musical tastes. Besides, with 15 million CDs sold under her belt before she came out w/ her latest effort (Volta), I think she's loved by many. Trust me, it's not because of what she wears, but how she performs that generates such huge numbers. Celebrity DJs - If you mean an actual "A-list" celebrity, then I'll agree w/ you there, but when it comes to celebrity status within the DJing world, oh come on! Are you telling me that Judge Jules, John Digweed, Chris Liebing, Carl Cox, Paul Van ****, Armin Van Buuren and Sasha are terrible? Maybe I can meet you half-way w/ Tiesto (because he's gotten a bit soft), but I can't possibly stand by your assertion that the aforementioned DJs are "anti-music." I may also agree w/ you on the fact that they aren't entirely musicians, but are masters of mixing beats in such a fashion that each person's technique has a unique sound that differentiates one from the other. Here's some examples of their work on compilations: John Digweed: Global Underground 14 (Hong Kong) Sasha: Global Underground 13 (Ibiza) Sash and Digweed: Northern Exposure: Expeditions Carl Cox: F.A.C.T. Australia II Armin Van Buuren: Universal Religion 2004, Live From Armada At Ibiza Chris Liebing: Essential Mix (October 16, 2005) Paul Van ****: The Politics of Dancing Judge Jules: Clubbed 2002 Tommy Lee - Although I've never been a big Motley Crue fan (with a few exceptions), his solo stuff was pretty horrid. I just put him in here because I've heard him spin in Denver last year and the set was really tight. I was actually surprised that he was that good @ DJing... American Idol? I'm not a big fan of the show myself, but some of the people to come out of there have some serious depth to their voices. I'll agree w/ Carrie Underworld but not just because she's beautiful. Even though he didn't win, David Archuleta was amazing. I'm sure he's going to surpass David Cook w/o a doubt. Besides those reservations, your list is pretty accurate...

Fred Durst...seriously, for a guy with as much talent as a 5-year old beating a sauce pan and running around screaming, he really has no right (IMO) to be walking around thinking he's some sort of musical genius, just because he discovered a couple bands that aren't even that spectacular in their own right.
And naming one of your albums "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water"? It just looks like a pitiful, desperate cry for attention.
