Do you agree with this writer's list of the worst musical acts ever:

Fuck him.

Creed is on that list? If they gonna be in hell, I want two tickets to that shit.

He mad

He was right about Michael Stipe's voice though.

And I like em.

I give the author credit for showing restraint and not picking arguably the most obvious choice (Nickleback).

anyone who thinks that Clapton, the Beach Boys (also implying that Brian is a no-talent prick), REM, Sting, Oasis or Pearl Jam are some of the worst acts of all time needs to go to hell, definitely

that list just seems random, the guy hates those acts for some personal reasons that have nothing (or little) to do with the quality of the music

Hell he probably likes them.

Billy Joel has been on critic's sh!t list for as long as I can remember.

I kinda like him.

Eh, I don't really like the idea of sacred cows. While I do like most of those acts I find it refreshing to see some artists that are traditionally revered be slagged off.

Yeah but worst act of all time? Couldn't just say "well I just don't like it" and move on?

He could probably fill up the top ten with boy bands and be done with it.

some artists may not need to be constantly revered, but they're certainly beyond the "great or bad/overrated"? argument

I also mock Counting Crows and their boring ass shit, Creed sucks big time and Billy Joel always sounded like a novelty to me, but really, the Beach Boys nº2??? wow
