1. Kids Today! Back in our day, we didn’t have any of yer fancy iPods and ringtones and downloads. We didn’t have the luxury and convenience of your scrotum-rings and your World Wide Web logs. When we wanted to steal the new Uriah Heep album, we couldn’t just troll the Internets for it, we had to do it the old-fashioned way — by hiking to the store (uphill, both ways) and shoving 12” of vinyl under our sweaters (which we had to knit ourselves). That’s why you sniveling whipper-snappers don’t appreciate the real value of music. Or Uriah Heep. Now get the hell off our lawn! |

I completely disagree with #50. This was obviously written by someone who sees taking music seriously as a negative thing. That's what real professional musicians do: they put every inch of themselves into their music, and they create deep, thought-provoking, and often intricate and elaborate music. If someone's ignorant worldview doesn't permit this style of creating music, then fine. Just don't go slagging off music that is so far over your head, like progressive rock, concept albums, and The Beatles, for crying out loud. Besides, Sgt. Pepper wasn't the first concept album ever. Frank Sinatra was doing them back in the 50s, and surely others were as well, and probably before then, too. After reading #50, I have no interest in reading the rest of the list. This is obviously written by someone who is evaluating music from a commercial perspective. Anyone who understands music knows that the commercial level is just one of many levels that figure into the overall picture of music. Unfortunately, the majority of the listening audience doesn't get this. Three cheers for rampant musical ignorance. |

I agree with the Madonna and her British accent. Sure, I think their accent's awesome, but do you see me immitating Janis 'Jaws' Battersby? |

39. AIDS Although it was responsible for many deaths (Freddie Mercury and Eazy-E among them) and inspired one of the most insipid hits in the past three decades (“That’s What Friends Are For”), the most significant musical damage done by the AIDS virus came with the subsequent demonization of sex and drugs, two ingredients without which rock & roll become practically pointless — if not impossible. 16. Replacement Lead Singers AC/DC’s impressive recovery from Singer-Vomit-Asphyxiation is the exception that proves the rule. If the phrase “Van Hagar” fails to convince, consider Rock Star: INXS and the macabre spectacle of Queen fronted by a leatherfaced Paul Rodgers. LOL Look at their desciption of Brian: BRIAN MAY Guitar hero whose fluid, distinctive style is almost as unique as the giant poodle asleep on his head. |

21. Nearly Every Hip-Hop Video We get it. Your ride is pimped, your crib is a castle and at the drop of an ice-encrusted hat, you can have tons of scantily clad ho’s pouring bottles of Cristal down your gullet while you kick it in the hot tub. Congratulations to a generation of hip-hop video directors for making decadence seem so … boring. This one is excellent! Everyone sick of Hip-Hop music and music videos for it raise your hands!! **raises hand enthusiastically** 12. Kevin Federline Golfing and wifebeaters? Whatever. Multiple babymamas? Hey, do your thing. Even the rapping isn’t that bad. But snatching away our favorite pop star — that cannot be forgiven. Two years ago, Britney Spears was America’s sexy sweetheart; then the ex-backup-dancer pounced, and it was bye-bye “Toxic,” hello diapers and Cheetos. On the contrary...I'm glad she's gone! She was a decent dancer, but her voice sucked!! And her songs were all so stupid...first it was the innocent, please love me, I'm heartbroken stuff, then it was uber-sexual stuff. She didn't have the vocal warmth or quality for either. The only reason she got so big was her looks. 6. Madonna’s British Accent Yep. She's a Michigander, like me. Give up the fake accent....everyone knows you are an American. 3. “The Star-spangled banner” Here’s an idea: Let’s have the theme song for the world’s biggest and most diverse democracy be: 1) boring; 2) violently militaristic; and 3) next to impossible to sing. Not enough? OK, now let’s bring in Roseanne Barr to perform. She’s too busy? Get me William Hung! I've got to give it to them on this one....I TOTALLY AGREE! I think it should be an unwritten rule that anyone who wants to sing it should have to go through an extensive audition process. I don't know how many football games/hockey games/nascar races I've watched where I can count at least 5 different key changes from beginning to end....And there aren't supposed to be any at all! Pick one key and stay there! If you can't, then don't sing it! Overall, not a bad list. Although I do take issue with them insulting Andrew Llyod Webber. Obviously the writer considers broadway and musicals to be "Highbrow Entertainment". Yes, some of the lyrics may be corny, but the music itself is complex and rich and full of emotion. It's supposed to be corny, just like music is supposed to be about emotion (which is why (c)rap music is an oxymoron). |
