Whew. Menudo didn't make the list.
And Yoko-ono is not?
I hope the queers at Blender will soon offer up their 50 best...I need a laugh.

Worst. Album. Art.
ELP in the top 5 worst and no mention of 2 live crew??
Hey, I didn't know you had a modelling career.
I can think of a lot of worse music than that, but I guess this list is exclusive to artists, which some of the stuff I am thinking were produced by people not even worthy to be called artists. There is a whole genre that originates from thieves , criminals and con artists, which is nothing but junk , but permeates the media to no end.
I am seriously laughing out loud! They can't be real! "The Braillettes"???
Bobby Goldsboro didn't make it?
"Honey" alone shoulda gotten him on there. Ick.
Blender is a suckass rag which worships Courtney Love and her ilk. They are clueless as far as music goes.
maybe my mom, but i ain't that old, ya snot.
Attention music fans.
If you read this "Top 50" list and actually eat this crap up, you are incredibly musically challenged.
First of all, LOL, The Doors (for all of Morrison's faults) are perhaps one of the most influential and (IMO) greatest bands EVER. I may be 19 but I like to think I have great taste in music - none of this cRAP or "hip-hip" or "R&B" shananaghans.
To put bands like The Doors or Primus or Goo Goo Dolls on a "list" like this and just totally neglect the manufactured BS that is being spoonfed to our willing youth in the form of "J-Zee(sus he sux)" and "Ludicrap" etc (not to mention all the whiney little brats with guitars these days) is just rediculous.
There is a reason great bands like Led Zeppelin, Allman Bros., Aerosmith, etc will never go away...its the last of the worthy music!! Not to mention all the wonderful classical music that have become legendary. I dunno...stupid list, stupid magazine, stupid writer, stupid is as stupid writes.
Corey
He may suck, but he did marry Cynthia Rhodes, who was extremely hot.
He should also be on there for trying to be an agent and saddling Ricky Williams with a disastrous contract.
Here here. I take issue with only a few, and don't think that an "artist" like Mick Jagger or David Bowie can have a period of their careers trashed this way. This isn't "worst albums from people who did much better work", this is "worst artist".
That said, how do you rank outright overmarketed crap? Bad is bad. Put up "the best" list. Rolling Stoned does this periodically (and low and behold there are always 5 "recent releases" that fall somewhere in the "best 200".
Mojo Magazine does this sort of thing okay (best lists, not worst).
How Copyright Law Changed Hip HopStay Free!: What are the origins of sampling in hip-hop?
Chuck D: Sampling basically comes from the fact that rap music is not music. It's rap over music. So vocals were used over records in the very beginning stages of hip-hop. In the late 1980s, rappers were recording over live bands who were basically emulating the sounds off of the records. Eventually, you had synthesizers and samplers, which would take sounds that would then get arranged or looped, so rappers can still do their thing over it. The arrangement of sounds taken from recordings came around 1984 to 1989.
I am on the SXSW music festival "headlines" daily email and so that is how I came to read an altanet article (and even then I gave up on it when I saw I couldn't post it to FR). This excerpt was the main point I wanted to discuss (although I could have gotten into "fair use" and copyright law as well).
