Musicians You Wish Would Dissappear.

[name not needed]

Michael Bolton
Kenny G
Dave Mustaine
Sammy Hagar
Johnny Ramone
William Hung(I use the term musician loosely)

thats all I can think of right now.

[Sandpiper]

1. I would say Justin Timberlake

But he'd have to be a musician in the first place, rather than a product of slick marketing.

[saracat]

13. Almost all country stars

With the exception of th dixie Chicks. I said almost because I can't remember the names of any good guys xcept for Willy Nelson!

[richmwill]

46. Agree

I wholeheartedly agree. I visited a friend of mine in Michigan last year, and had to listen to those twangy, nasal-toned "singers" for an entire week. I was nice and respectable, didn't say anything about it (even telling her at one point "They're ok") but ugghh- it was killing me. Too much for this NY'er to bear.

[lumpy]

75. Alabama

The best of country. Never really appreciated country music until Alabama came along.

[Catfight]

2. Sting...overrated nowadays...I'm sick of him. n/t

[unblock]

3. michael bolton

no-talent ass-clown.

[Donkeyboy75]

45. Why should I have to change my name?

He's the one who sucks!

[KissMyAsscroft]

4. That guy that is on MTV all the time, with no talent..

Oh wait, thats all of them.

[salvorhardin]

5. Dennis DeYoung

Actually... all of Styx (and this from a pre-Kilroy fan).

[sniffa]

6. kid rock, ted nugent, ozzie

[solinvictus]

7. Britney Spears

Christina Aguilarrrrrra, Fitty Sent, and about everyone who's recording popular music now.

[Taverner]

22. I don't want her to dissapear

Just quit music and take the porn role she was BORN TO PLAY!!!!

[skooooo]

8. phil collins

[Wickerman]

9. I second the entire list, the add-ons and raise you the

entire Jackson family. :evilgrin:

[solinvictus]

10. I thought they had faded away?

[Wickerman]

11. perhaps

but my TV seems to see have them on it whenever possible. :puke:

[Norbert]

12. The surviving members of the Ramones.

I loved their music when Joey was around but have a great dislike for their repuke attitude.

[PittPoliSci]

39. Come on...

Marky still rocks with the Misfits.

[saracat]

14. Ricky Martin!

Talk about no talent and kiss ass to the WH!

[markus]

15. If Ringo Star is the last Beatle left alive, we will know

1) There is no God.

-- OR --

2) God is a huge Beatles fan and wanted all of the important ones close to her.

Nothing against Ringo, and the Beatles wouldn't have been exactly the same without him, but his solo recording career made about as much sense as The Magic Christian.

[Fenris]

21. But he was indispensable. And the Magic Christian is a great movie.

[markus]

55. Ok, I agree.

I said the Beatles would have been fundamentally different with another drummer.

Um, well, the Magic Christian. I used to enjoy that movie, but then, I used to think that 200 Motels was one of the greatest fims ever.

Approach more soberly at my current age, they are fun trips back to another time and place, but mostly from the purely weird value.

[physioex]

16. I can top all of you....

Ted Nugent....The other just sing annoying songs. This one is just a kiss ass Chickenhawk for pResident Shrub. (I shamefully admit I rocked to Damn Yankees as a teen. But I'm older and much wiser.hahahaha)

[salvorhardin]

31. That's OK...

...because Tommy Shaw made Damn Yankees. Now if he would only come to his senses and let Styx die before they embarass themselves again.

[pretzel4gore]

17. bryan adams, rod stewart, steve tyler, the rollong stones

[Bluzmann57]

18. Lynyrd Skynyrd

There was a time when I loved this band, and I still occasionally plug in headphones and go nuts on "Free Bird", but they are almost all dead. Time to give it up guys. Let the music do the talking. The Freebird will never die.

[Van Helsing]

19. Any and all members of boy bands.

as well as William Hung. :puke:

[voter x]

34. Boy Bands

don't actually consist of musicians do they? I thought they hire them....

I would like anyone who VH-1 considers a "Diva" to disappear!

[Mike Daniels]

73. Technically, most of Motowns biggest acts were boy/girl bands

Not saying that today's bands are even capable of carrying the Motown great's spit buckets but there was a time when boy/girl band wasn't a bad thing.

[Fenris]

20. Sting.

Eric Clapton. Aerosmith. Phil Collins. Kid Rock. Paul McCartney. The Vines (in their entirety). Creed. Bands who sound like Creed. Britney Spears and the corpse that calls itself Madonna. John Mayer. Evanescence. Simple Plan. U2 (except for the Edge, Larry Mullins, and Adam Clayton). Metallica. Pseudo-goth metal bands. Christian rock of any kind. Toby Keith (if you want to sing about how hard it is to be a soldier, you probably should sign up, you asshat). 50 Cent and other no talent hacks who can neither sing nor rap well in addition to being unable to play their own music and writing trite bullshit repeatedly. The Astley-esque blue eyed soul of Maroon 5.

[name not needed]

23. Metallica?

May I please ask why? Thats the only one I couldn't figure out.

[Fenris]

24. I need a reason?

I thought this was opinion? Well, if I have to give justification, I'll say Lars and St. Anger.

[name not needed]

25. Good point.

And Lars is an easy target. Its hard not to be when you make faces like this.

[Fenris]

27. Yeah, the whole Napster thing really made me dislike him

It was downhill from there.;)

[name not needed]

26. double post n/t

[St. Jarvitude]

35. Almost my entire list

:hi:

Add Blink 182 and other pseudo-"punk" bands like Simple Plan, Newfound Glory, etc.

If I want punk, I'll take a cup of NOFX or Anti-Flag, dammit.

[Fenris]

40. Damn straight.

:hi:

[Whitacre D_WI]

56. How dare you profane the name of Our Lord...

...by comparing him to Maroon 5.

[FrankBooth]

28. Celine Dion and J-Lo

Although calling them musicians in the first place is generous.

[Norbert]

29. Great White for obvious reasons

[screwfacecapone]

30. Everyone you mentioned

add to the list
toby keith and daryl worley: For obvious reasons

Beyonce and the rest of destiny's child.

R-kelly

Benzino, and take that piece of dung magazine with him.

[DS1]

32. Why Dave Mustaine? He's quite the Dem, last time I checked anyway

and I think he did disappear anyway :shrug:

[Taverner]

37. Dave Mustaine is dying of cancer right now

...

[charlie]

71. Huh? Wha...

I never heard that and can't find any references on the web. Can you point me someplace where I can read about it?

[name not needed]

72. Because

He hasn't stopped bitching about being kicked out of Metallica. From 85 to 02 all he did was talk shit. Then he'd claim it was taken out of context, and then call Lars a fuckass. And then he'd say something else. And then apologize again. He can't take the fact that he was kicked out of the band because he was an obnoxious drunk and was not dedicated in his music. He jeopardized the safety and relationships of the other members.

[CTLawGuy]

33. Michael Bolton...

"why should I change my name? he's the one who sucks"

Ill give anyone a cookie who can tell me where thats from!

[Gothic Sponge]

36. Any perosn that needs to use lip-synching live.

I hate it when they call these people "Artists." GRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!

[RoyGBiv]

41. Office Space n/t

[Madrone]

43. Office Space!!!

Love that movie :)

[demgrrrll]

49. Me too. One of my favorites. I don't want to talk about my flare.

The red stapler. That would be great.

[flaminbats]

38. Boni Jovi..

perhaps my link was worse. :evilfrown:

42. Michael Jackson

If only for his own damn good.

[drumwolf]

53. Good point.

Michael Jackson may be still alive and he may not be a junkie or an alcoholic, but he is every bit as much of a pop stardom casualty as anyone who died young like Cobain, Hendrix, Jim Morrison or Ian Curtis.

He and Keith Richards are prime examples of the Living Dead.

[Donkeyboy75]

44. Ted Nugent, Dave Matthews, Janet Jackson,

Christina Aguilera
Toby Keith
Jewel

[Fenris]

47. Oh, yes, Dave Matthews definitely.

Xtina on the other hand, I choose to keep because she's fun to look at.

[Donkeyboy75]

50. Really?

She makes me want to :puke:

Looks incredibly trashy. Do you watch "The Simpsons?" Her face reminds me of Marge's after Homer used his "makeup gun" on her.

[Delano]

51. Eminem

Annoying and stupid. No musical talent, nothing constructive to say. Maybe some talent as a lyricist, but mainly good at tapping into the frustrations of little poser snotnosed teens.

I even think Marilyn Manson is better, and that's saying a lot.

[Codeblue]

48. I cant believe nobody mentioned Charlie Daniels

He seems to me to be the most redneck musician on the planet other than Ted Nugent.

I feel sorry for Ted Nugent's daughters. But Charlie Daniels wrote a letter to Hollywood stars speaking out against Bush calling them disgusting anti-Americans and blah, blah, blah.

It was really disgusting garbage that turned me off to Charlie Daniels forever.

[Delano]

52. Why Sammy Hagar?

He's out of Van Halen now, if that's the issue. Is it the whole lame "Cabo Wabo" thing?

I saw him at a VH concert in 1989, with a girlfriend on my shoulders. after being shocked at how short and old Eddie was, I was even more surprised when Sammy came up and shook my hand and gave me a look like "I feel your pain" (She was kinda heavy). He seemed pretty cool to me, the concert was great, and he was a trouper.

I'm sure "Diamond Dust Dave" wouldn't have given me the time of day. Plus I'd have had to look at his repulsive hairy gut and his glittery bodystocking. :puke:

Thank god for Van Hagar!

[drumwolf]

54. my picks

William Hung is number one on my list by a long shot. As an Asian-American, I find the whole phenomenon behind his stardom utterly offensive. I have the same reaction to him that African-Americans have to Little Black Sambo.

Britney Spears comes in second, for reasons far beyond the music itself. Is it just me or do other people also think she is the quintessential Moron-American?

I would say Puff Daddy/P. Diddy, except that he kind of has already, thank God.

Then there's Aerosmith, whose '70s stuff I was a big fan of when I was growing up and still appreciate to some extent. But for the last decade their music has been no different from the likes of Michael Bolton or Celine Dion.

[MissMillie]

57. Is Hung really a musician?

I think of him as more of a comedy act.

[ProfessorGAC]

58. Hey Wolf!

I thought the thread was about musicians who should go away. Hung, Spears, Diddy, Bolton or Dion or not musicians. They are singers, and not especially good ones, either.

Now, Aerosmith, i can buy into. From those guys, i say, "That's enough now!"
The Professor

[drumwolf]

59. Tell that to the original poster, he included Hung and Bolton too.

As for Aerosmith, they may be musicians as opposed to singers, but they are totally in the same league as Spears or Celine Dion nowadays. In fact, Britney and N'Sync even joined Aerosmith onstage when they played "Walk This Way" at the Super Bowl halftime show a few years ago.

Did anyone else who saw that have the same reaction? I was thinking to myself: "Wow. How low can you fall, and is it possible to whore yourself any more than Steven Tyler and his crew have?"

:puke:

[ProfessorGAC]

61. In Total Agreement

Like i said, "That's enough now!"
The Professor

[drumwolf]

64. anyway, if you want to stick to MUSICIANS as opposed to singers...

Besides Aerosmith, any of the "nu-metal" bands like Korn or Limp Bizkit. I like loud ear-splitting distortion and screaming as much as anyone -- I grew up on '80s metal, thrash, punk and hardcore, from Slayer to Anthrax to Subhumans to Bad Brains to Poison Idea -- but that "nu-metal" shit is just plain tedious.

[Commendatori]

60. Toby Keith, Eminem, Ozzy & Kelly Osbourne.

Especially Eminem. Just as I can't take those sound clips of Bush trying to sound smart, I can't take the Eminem "flipping the bird" pictures of him trying to look tough. My grandmother could fight that little maggot to a draw, and she's been dead since 1983.

[youngred]

62. Avril Lavigne, John Mayer, Brittney Spears, Kenny G, Michael Bolton

Jessica Simpson, any former or current boy band members, Twista, most rap 'artists'

[Screaming Lord Byron]

63. Ani DiFranco.

Flame on, people!

[CrownPrinceBandar]

65. I whole-heartedly agree...

I appreciate that she's a unique guitar player, but her singing and image drive me up the wall.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

68. Yeah, and I suspect that not a few left-wing folks give her a free pass

because she's on our side.

[Fenris]

66. Seconded

[Screaming Lord Byron]

67. There's only one word for what she does...

Caterwauling.

[Fenris]

70. Politics aside

I really am amazed at how many people enjoy being screamed at for hours on end by her.

[ProfessorGAC]

69. The Songs Yesterday Were Treacly

But, she plays pretty good guitar, and she knows her stuff. That guitar was open tuned, and she was playing augmentations to the chords up and down the neck. So, she obviously knows where the notes are, since that wasn't even conventional tuning and she played at least 60 different chords.
The Professor

[tishaLA]

74. I wanted to post DiFranco

but I was too scurrrrred. Thank you for the liberation.

She makes me sick.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

76. Yeah, a lot of people round here like her.

As for me, I just don't get it.

:shrug:

[Calico Jack Rackham]

77. Johnny Ramone

Claimed RayGun was the best US President ever, and he creams himself everytime he talks about Bush.
He was really pissed when Joey and DeeDee wrote "Bonzo Goes to Bitburg".

[southpaw]

78. Appreciate her politics...

Dig some of the lyrics...

Yeah, she can play the guitar...

Listen to her?

Sorry. I'll take a pass on that. Cats fucking is easier on the ears.
