Oh good!  Another fucking list based on mostly opinions for people to argue about.Any magazine that issues lists like this should have their office buildings burnt to ghe ground.

You are just mad cause Manowar is on there.

You know it's a flawed list because Led Zeppelin is not in the top 5.

I thought people liking them was just an eloborate inside joke. Although I do know a guy that might hunt down the people that made this list and bludgeon them.

Talk about an assault on the 90's.  Blind Melon was great.  Fuck listmakers.

Primus?  On the Worst Bands list?  Seriously?  I understand that they're not for everybody, comparing them with the likes of Air Supply and Color Me Badd.  Not that I consider Blender an authority on music but it's still tough to take when someone calls your favorite band ever awful.And Blind Melon's Soup is a fucking great album.

i heard from an insider that magazine publications do lists cause it's an easy sales boost, i don't care, just make the lists more interesting, not the same shit every year.

PLEASE tell me NKOTB (New Kids ... ) is on that list. I am going to drown my self for referring to them as NKOTB ... UGH.

I don't understand why some people get so pissy about lists like this.  Of course they're not law.  They're just absurd, fun takes on things in pop culture.  If you agree, great.  If you don't, hey, awesome.  I enjoy laughing at the choices, disagreeing with them, making similar lists with my friends, arguing those choices, etc., etc..  Why do people act like it's a bad thing lists like this get written?  Who cares?  They're fun.  Unclench.  None of this shit is sacred, so whoopedy-doo.

I probably agree with this list more than I usually do with these sort of things.

This is just another rediculous list to get people arguing. I'm sure ELP, Howard Jones, Blind Melon, The Doors and The Spin Doctors are worse than Brittney, Avril, Justin, Paris, K-Fed etc... Pleeeez!The only acts they got right were 98 degrees and Vanilla Ice.

I know some of their stuff is dated, but no way The Doors belong on that list. And the current issue of that magazine gave 'The Doors - Perception (40th Anniversary Box)' a 5 star rating, their highest:<a href="http://www.blender.com/guide/reviews.aspx?id=4323" target="_blank"> http://www.blender.com/guide/reviews.aspx?id=4323</a>

I can't believe they have Oingo Boingo's Only A Lad on that list--what a
great album! Stupid list.

Im waiting for JustJon's opinion.  What a provocateur to just lay a list down and watch people fight over it and stand by neutral.
