Dead Pool

[p0tat0es]

These are the musical acts I'd like to see get knocked off. Rubbed out. Sent to sleep with the fishes. Sent for a long ride on the short bus.

I chose these folks based not on their popularity per se, but on what I perceive to be their level of self-importance in the popular music arena. I can't take any of these jackasses seriously, and their "art" is anything but.

Here goes, in no particular order:

1) Creed
2) Celine Dion
3) Garth Brooks
4) Ja Rule
5) Kid Rock
6) Limp Bizkit
7) Tori Amos
8) Mariah Carey
9) Dave Matthews Band
10) Puff Daddy

What's your dead pool?

They just exude suckiness. I think part of it is the posturing (which lots of rock bands could be accused of) - they try so hard to be sincere. Maybe they think they are, but I don't buy it. Maybe it's because they're from Florida. What has Florida given us? The 2 Live Crew, Limp Bizkit, and Creed. Not a great track record. Musically, their music consists of bonehead cock rock riffs and vapid, "spiritual" vocals. Even though rock & roll is all about ripping off those who came before you, bands (like Creed) that play repackaged grunge (read: Pearl Jam) and front like they;re original are bothersome.

I hope that made sense...
