Yeah, plus I think Virtual Insanity's a great pop song, which kinda goes against the concept of someone being one of the worst artists in music history.

Also, why in hell aren't Sigue Sigue Sputnik on that list?

Can someone explain to me the actual point behind debating who you like the least and actually trying to "prove" anything by it?
I'm just wondering if I'm missing something here.

Michael Bolton should be top of this list, no questions about it. Followede by Kenny G. and Celine Dion... I'd suggest more, but main, I already threw up in my mouth a little...

What's wrong with Celine Dion? Not that I'm a fan, but I thought if you like soppy love songs and power ballads by female singers, she'd be pretty good.

Is it her or do people just hate that kind of music in general and she's an easy target?

it's like choosing Blink 182 over Black Flag.

She's the best selling female artist ever, having sold over 200 million records. I don't think your comparison does her justice.

From a quick glance, she's the second female artist on that list, the only other being La Toya Jackson. So, the second worst female artist in history also happens to be the biggest seller? Looks to me like an easy target picked by people who need to provoke.

If I could sell that many records, it would easily be worth a spot on that list.

I think it's probably the fact that she is an easy target... she's got vocal chops but her style of music turns me waaaaaaaaaaay off...

The only ones I really agree with are.
  • Insane Clown Posse
  • Michael Bolton
  • Kenny G
  • Starship
  • Vanilla Ice
  • Lee Greenwood
  • Latoya Jackson
  • Benzino
  • Pat Boone
  • Bad English
  • Color Me Badd
  • Crash Test Dummies
  • Richard Marx
  • 98 Degrees
  • Manowar
  • Master P

These are really the only ones I agree with or think are bad enough to be in this list.

Air Supply were really no worse than a lot of soft rock artists, Dan Fogelberg is just boring folk stuff, but he's better than Nick Drake.

Celine Dion, I don't like her music but I don't think she's AS bad as people say she is, only time she really bothered me was the AC/DC covers. At least she can actually sing, which is more than I can say for a lot of other women in the pop industry who also make much worse music. And c'mon, she had to bang René Angélil to get where she is, for that alone she deserves more than $80 million a year.

Vanilla Ice? Sure, but is he really worse than MC Hammer? I gotta say, no. And to be fair to Vanillla Ice, at least he has the Ninja Turtles song.

I don't think Creed should be on the list, they had one kinda decent album, and there is MUCH MUCH worse in the post grunge department. Nickelback are definitely way more deserving.

98 Degrees is one I wont argue with but, why exactly are they any worse than the other boy bands? Why are they the worst?

Anyway. Artists who would be on my list.
  • Foreigner
  • Nickelback
  • MC Hammer
  • GG Allin
  • Poison
  • Billy Ray Cyrus
  • Puddle of Mudd
  • Souja Boy
  • Merzbow
  • Bruce Willis/Steven Seagal/other actors turned musicians
  • Michael Angelo Batio
  • NOFX
  • Ba Ha Men
  • Sugar Ray
  • Too many contemporary Indie acts to count
  • Some super generic neo prog band with a big following on progarchives
