Rather than critically analysing the whole list or picking out the bands/artists I think shouldn't be up there, I'll say that most of the list is decent. But I will say this:

I like Primus but I can understand why their polarising nature might land them a place in a list like this (even if I disagree). And that's why I can't understand why bands like Jamiroquai would be up there. Personally, I think they're overrated as their albums strike me as being rather homogeneous and inconsistent (that and I prefer Incognito). But one of the worst artists in music history... really? They're good at what they do and their basslines alone disqualify them from this list.
What I hate most about this list is the rationale.

"They have keyboard solos/fantasy lyrics".

Great insight guys.

I would include Bob Marley, Black-Eyed Peas, and The Who to any "worst artists" of all time list. Ridiculously overrated.

You sir lack a brain. You genuinely believe arguably two of the most influential artists of all time belong on a list beside Vanilla Ice. Bob Marley is granted overrated but overrated doesn't mean worst not by a longshot and if you like any reggae or rock at all these artists will be an influence somewhere down the line. I get it if you dislike them but worst thats just stupid.

OP's list is pretty horrifying, much like reading an issue of Blender

Don't agree with Skinny Puppy AT ALL however.
I wonder why.

I listened to Too Dark Park about a week ago, thought it was completely awful. And I really like industrial music, so there you go.

Bob Geldof and Mick Jaggar are pretty bad alone but I don't understand why they're the WORST, seeing as though they make decent frontmen when you disregard their awful solo work. Everything bolded is completely and utterly wrong.

Also, I'm appaled that they left this piece of shit off the list. His story is actually kinda interesting; on General Hospital, wants to be the next Rick Springfield, inspired a Motley Crue song, sunk to obscurity after making a million old ladies go wetter then they'd been in years and make a million preteen girls think about him while they rode their bicycles.
