Shit in a Blender

Blender magazine recently published an article naming "The 50 Worst Artists in Music History."

http://www.blender.com/guide/articles.aspx?id=466

       I found their selections to be based on everything but musical merit, rendering the entire article as viable and intellectual as slanderous pre-teen gossip.  They seem to single out bands or artists that werent very well recieved in their hayday because of conflicting trends in the mainstream.  Or bands that everyone regrets liking in the past, therefore being magnetic to harsh opinions from people doing everything they can to erase the past by calling Richard Marx a bad singer just because he had a mullet.  Everyone is entitled to like or dislike anything for whatever reason, but this law of order also gives me the right to call you an asshole for judging music on everything but music.  They name Iron Butterfly for smoking too much pot.  They single out Skinny Puppy, because you cant sing along to them.  They name Primus at #22 for having vocals that sound like a cartoon.  Finally, Emerson, Lake & Palmer are at #2, I shouldnt have to tell you how wrong that is.  If "Tarkus," "Carnevil No. 9," or "Brain Salad Surgery," dont make this clear, then you are just as awesome as the people that wrote this article.
      I dont have a problem with this collection of assholes writing this article.  The thing that bugs me the most is that this article is going to be considered legitimate and most of the people that read it are going to be very receptive to it because Blender is poised as a musical authority and its readers are low life shit-fucks who think Murder By Death are the second cumming of christ.
