Whitesnake isn't complete crap, and the Gypsy Kings had their fame, but they really should have stopped making music after their one hit song. Someones probably going to get mad about this but why don't you go ahead and throw the Jonas Brothers up on that list.

Gotta disagree with Kansas for sure... Carry on wayward son? bad? far from it.
Primus isnt super awesome but Les Claypool is the **** no matter what any of u say.
and one last is the doors. Not a big doors fan at all but still not like there Sugar Ray... lmao... they shoulda been on that list

Only ones I disagree with are The Doors and Yngwie Malmsteen. Despite the obvious cheese-factor I have to admit Yngwie is a killer guitarist, especially if you're into that whole technical scene.

I would agree if it weren't for the likes of Joe Satriani, Steve Vai, Marty Freedman, and a couple others. Yngwie has guitar turrets...he can be going into what could be a great song and then OH MY GOD HE CAN'T CONTAIN HIMSELF...same scale over and over. I like maybe 2 of his songs...and I am a fan of guitar virtuosos.

The only emotion I could muster while listening to it was...embarrassment.
The sad thing is the cover (as bad as it is) does not prepare you for the tepid music contained on the album.

Wow I didn't even see the Doors up there. What are you thinking? And Kansas has their hits, there are plenty of other horrible bands.

I'd say that alone makes him a far better candidate for lists like this than, say, Nickelback. Proof that for all the instrumental abilities in the world he still can't write a song with a scrap of discretion. And that is why I think overindulgent crap like ELP and Asia deserve the top spots far more than the next one-hit-wonder who manages to make the top 40. I know those bands suck, but it's out of mediocrity, not misdirected talent.

There might be some glaring flaws with this list, but the prevailing bitch that lists like these are bad because "band X deserves to be on this list more than band Y" is as unimaginative as it is dull-witted. Do you really believe that everybody hates the same fifty artists, or that a list like that would make for a good conversation?

I don't agree with a lot of the artists on this list, it doesn't make my opinion any more "right" than anyone else's and it surely doesn't justify me bitching about how bad it is.

Well...it kind of has sparked a discussion. You were post #68. Of course, you are right about no one agreeing on the same 50 artists. For any amount of credibility, it should have been a poll.

I just never intended it to be a discussion that evoked one-liner retorts and haughtiness from all sides. Of course people are gonna disagree about these things, that's what makes it fun! It'd be nice to see some polysyllabic discourse going along with it, though.
