I'm guessing they think that all rap/hip hop has to be about bitches, hoes, rappers mothers, wives, pop stars, or "the street"...-rolleyes- Their choice for ADs Worst CD cements their stupidity.
Arrested Development Too positive for their own good Their 1992 debut, 3 Years, 5 Months & 2 Days In the Life Of..., sold 5 million copies despite containing some of the preachiest, most contrived "wisdom" ever laid down. Their studio follow-up, Zingalamundi, sank without a trace. Worst CD Unplugged [Chrysalis, 1993] |
I guess Oingo Boingo is the only one on there that made me scratch my head. Just look at the photo of ICP in that mag and it's instantly recognized why those goofs are #1. I think a list like this is pretty easy to make up... they could have kept going to a top 200. I can remember wondering why the hell my friends were listening to Spin Doctors and Blind Melon. I'm still very confused about it!

Didn't Insane Clown Posse threaten to kick the ass of/kill a SPIN writer who dared to criticize them? Blender should be watching its back...the wrath of the juggalos has been incurred.
Yeah, most of those bands/"artists" suck, and everybody knows they suck. What was really the point of this list? I will take some exception to Primus, Arrested Development, Live and Toad being on the list. They're not great bands, but worst of all time? Not by a long shot. The Doors, however, should be in the top 5. |
The Alan Parsons Project did some of the best prog rock from the late 70's to mid 80's, how they can be on there is unbeliavable. Hey Blender magazine, **** off.

Why should I change? He's the one who sucks! |
I am not trying to start a flamewar, but is there anyone here who likes Creed? Whether or not they have talent [although I think Scott is a good vocalist and Mark is a good guitarist] I find their songs much more memorable and meaningful than whoever is "supposed" to be good. Lullaby, With Arms Wide Open, Higher, Don't Stop Dancing, Hide, My Sacrifice, One Last Breath, My Own Prison, all their singles are fun songs with good lyrics [even if they have some cliches] and some of them are much better love songs than what the industry passes off as loving music..
Other than that, I think they have their moments. It's kind of surprising for me to like a modern band, since I'd take Pink Floyd, Jethro Tull, Led Zepplin, U2, etc over a new band anyday..but I actually like Creed, and as for the Pearl Jam comparison..I find Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder [spelling error?] to be a weaker singer, and the music is just not as....I don't know..I don't feel it enough...Creed seems more sincere...somehow. |
I guess it's easy to feel that all their songs are sincere, since they all sound the same.

Nothing will get people :mad: faster than these stupid, random and 100% subjective 'best/worst' lists... :lol:

We want to be very clear that this is NOT a list of THE GREATEST HIP-HOP ARTISTS OF ALL TIME. When deciding who made the final cut, we took into consideration QUALITY OF MUSIC, INFLUENCE, LONGEVITY and RECORD SALES over the past 15 years. |

3. Michael Bolton :blush: Own all but one of his from 1987 on :blush: 4. Kenny G 5. Starship 6. Kansas 7. Asia 8. Vanilla Ice 9. Lee Greenwood 10. Air Supply 13. Mick Jagger (solo) 19. Dan Fogelberg 20. Howard Jones 21. The Alan Parsons Project 23. Creed 24. Bad English - John Waite and part of Journey rocks! 26. Celine Dion 27. Colour Me Badd 30. Richard Marx 31. Arrested Development 32. The Hooters 34. Live 36. 98 Degrees 37. The Doors 38. Nelson 40. Blind Melon 41. Whitesnake 43. Mike and the Mechanics 46. The Spin Doctors 47. Goo Goo Dolls 48. Master P 49. Toad the Wet Sprocket |
Primus?
Irrefutable proof that Maxim (and Blender by extension) are rags for retarded frat boys. |
Originally posted by Buford T Pusser they have to pick bands people have heard of. who would read a list of unknowns? EDIT: Dogstar was mentioned. BTW, this "list" is the opinion of nine different people. No sir, I don't like it. |
Glad some people out there are coming to grips with how insanely overrated those pretentious hacks The Doors were. They sound really deep and intense when you're 18 I suppose but listen to them again when you're 30. If overwrought drek like "Light My Fire" and "Touch Me" don't make you want to hurl, I can't help you. (IMHO as always :D )
My one problem with the list is including Tin Machine, which admittedly wasn't Bowie's finest hour, but I still somewhat enjoy their first CD. Has a few good moments. And even subpar Bowie is better than many. |

I'm just glad Master P is on the list. How he ever became famous I will never know.

Re: Re: Blender Mag's list of the 50 worst groups
Originally posted by MJKTool commenting on Paul Oakenfold's appearance at number 35 total nonsense Paul Oakenfold Hey, Mr. DJ: Keep your day job! As a remixer of note, "Oakey" is lauded for turning the quitar-loving shirted neophytes of '90s dance music. But 2002's Bunkka, the Englishman's first album of original material, was an abject exercise in marketing, not music. Ham-fisted and clichéd, lacking direction and sparkle, nothing Oakenfold created himself would have inspired any DJs worth a lick. Dreadful. Appalling fact Perry Farrell, Tricky, Ice Cube and Nelly Furtado all lined up to contribute to Bunkka. Presumably without hearing the music first. Worst CD Bunkka <center>http://www.clubcd.com/images/master_p.jpg Uhhh...!</center> |

Lists like this serve one purpose - to generate publicity. And it always works. :)
|
The Doors?
What a bunch of morons. Blender, not the musical group. Oh and they are just mad Master P is worth over $300m. Jerks. |
I dig Creed. I think its crap all the BS that they get. But Stapp has done his part to add to the problem. Still I thikn they are far better then a lot of the stuff out there.
I think this list is peppered with stuff just to get attention. Plus its done by a new generation that just does not get the same things from music that the old gen does. Still this list seems extra lame. Doors, ELP, Kansas and Creed? -rolleyes- Maybe many just dont like them but worst bands :lol: |
Originally posted by Jackskeleton Blender should be #1 on the list of 50 worse magazines. |
You have to admit that the blurb about Creed was pretty funny though. I don't have the magazine, so I have to ham-handedly paraphrase it, but it said something like..."There has never been a more annoying site in a music video than Scott Stapp singing in a crusifixion pose while a wind machine blows his hair in the opposite direction." I'm usually not one for the Maxim/FHM type of humor, but I though that this was pretty good.
