    I guess they mean solo Mick Jagger, which I think does deserve to be there.

    BTW where is the electric light orchestra, bon jovi, phish, 3 doors down, the georgia sattelites,Boys 2 Men etc :D

    Interesting. That list was made by Blender Magazine, a trendy rag whose latest cover features a picture of Shakira in a swimsuit. 'nuff said. :p

    I agree with deadonceagain, Primus does not suck and it is even amazing how you could even say that if you have ever heard Les play.Guitarist and drummer aren't too bad either but not even close to Les.

    yngwie malmsteen indeed does suck, even if he can play scales at lightspeed he still plays terrible sounding, cheesed out music.

    I don't see what he does as talent, I see it as a skill, no different from being an athlete.

    Besides, this whole fucking thing is a taste issue.

    Personally, I think I should be on the list of worst musicians. [​IMG]

    Seriously, though, the list is obviously terrible. Hell, some of the people listed aren't even musicians. :p

    Hmm... I saw Nelson last year. I liked them... but

    WHY THE FUCK IS PRIMUS ON THERE?!?!

    Jesus. People are idiots. Les Claypool is among the best of the best musicians these days.

    Yah, that list is a sad little attempt to get their sad little magazine some publicity by pissing people off. Notice how they picked the most successful bands from each genre. I mean, geez... I don't like Primus or ELP that much, but I'm not idiotic enough to say they're bad musicians for it. I think I dislocated my eyes rolling them just now...

    I think Blender sucks. Why is Madonna not on that list, or Britney Spears, Ashley Simpson, and all the other shitty, contrived non-talents? I would even add Alanis Morrisette to that list because although she had a good album, she is a poseur and her whole "attitude" was conceived by Mutt Lange, the same dude that produced AC/DC...

    I totally disagree with Emerson, Lake and Palmer being on that list. They fucking rock. I'd also like to crucify seamonster and duck for suggesting Phish. However, I'm still looking for Aaron Carter up there...

    Any boy/girl bands of the late 90s and ALL modern rappers should be there.

    Ain't that the truth. Really want to annoy her? Creep up next to her and sing "Never too hot... never too cold... give me yer best shot too hot to hold!"

    Unfortunately recordings don't exist from her jazz singer or her country music phases, but her "fat Debbie Gibson" phase is immortalized for ever.

    As for Skinny Puppy, they were very very good musicians (check out Images in Vogue, or cEvin Key's drumming work with Download) that decided to do something far far darker, weirder and harder. Kind of like Picasso who knew to draw but didn't
