The Doors and Iron Butterfly shouldn't eb on it...Sure IB only had like one good song (Inna Gadda Davida) but it's sooooo fuckin' cool :D

it's funny...i love ICP...but isn't BLENDER the WORST magazine ever? i mean MAXIM is the shit. but Blender blows chunks of corn out of my shit...just something to think about

That makes the whole list void. Bling Melon was awesome when they were around. And wtf, Yngwie??? That guy's the main reason I started learning guitar about 5 years ago.

And ICP isn't the worst band ever. They may write immature 5th grade lyrics most of the time but do you really think they're trying revolutionize music? They're just fucking around having fun.

Take music for what it is. Not for what other people think it should be.

the list is crap i mean who r the ppl that they asked for the top 50. but i still think that icp do suck.

Doors & Primus should not have made this - - - can't wait for Les & crew to tour again...

I think the list should be 49 ICPs with Creed as #1

/me agrees wholeheartedly

well i'm sorry to be completely opposite to everyone else... (except cockmonger) but i really don't rate ICP as a bad band at all. i really like ICP... they're my favorite band atm. i'm not a gothic, i don't dress like them and all that like some people do. but i think there lyrics are some of the funniest stuff out there. have any of you actually listened to the lyrics? or are you's just being sheep?

their cover of "let's go all the way" was pretty good. they aren't revolutionary by any means, but who cares. you don't have to change music in order to have an impact. btw, this is the one song of theirs that i have heard of. i'm certainly not a fan.

With so many horrible bands, how can you make a list of just 50? But that's just me being cynical. I definately agree that ICP should be near the top of that list though.

Primus? Blind Melon? The Doors?

Welcome to the Bizzarro World.

40-Blind Melon
37-The Doors (One of the best bands ever, and revolutionary)
35-Paul Oakenfold
22-Primus (It's been said already)
21-The Alan Parsons Project
14-Yngwie Malmsteen (Revolutionized use of the most prominent instrument in modern music after only the voice)
6-Kansas (Only sucked when they got famous)
2-Emerson, Lake, & Palmer

Not only were the Doors on (and I don't like rock, but I recognise their musical ability and influence) but there was a total lack of any of the boy bands of the mid-late 90's. And that was some of the most artistically bankrupt music ever made, many of the band menbers won't even acknowledge it now. I think what they did was try to get "safe" (i.e. not currently chart-topping) choices. I don't think it would be easy to do such a list, but I think it could be done much better. When some of your choices could logically be considered some of the BEST of their respective genres, it's hard to have any credibility.

Uh oh, looks like the "juggalos" are gonna be mad. The list does seem kinda wierd to me, but hey, i agree on the ICP thing.

Several bands and artists did not deserve to be on that list. Unfortunately, someone got paid to come up with it.

Daoust says Word!

PRIMUS? Malmsteen? I have as much respect for Blender Magazine's opinion on music as I do a crack whore's opinions on morals.

And, damnit, I really wish people listen to music before you deride it because everyone else does or because you've heard that they do this or seen them on TV. I thought ICP would suck ass, until I listened to the lyrics and what they were trying to say. I've actually got some respect for them, because they talk about just as much important shit as anyone else out there, if not more. And some of it is just downright funny shit.

Speaking of that, just what the fuck is a juggalo?

And wait -- Kansas is #6? All I have to say is Dust in the Wind.

YOU'RE MY BOY, SLAVAKION

i dont mind icp and primus and the doors dont belong on there at all, i think they need to rethink that list

I disagree with the following:

• 48-Master P
  47-Goo Goo Dolls
  46-The Spin Doctors
  37-The Doors
  35-Paul Oakenfold
  34-Live
  25-Jamiroquai
  8-Vanilla Ice
  7-Asia
  5-Starship
  4-Kenny G.

Those bands/groups should not be on this list where they are, if at all. I disagree with the list in general, but IMO the bands above stand out as ones I would not put on it.

Music is such an individual preference, that these lists almost always are a joke unless they are based on data, like sales, etc.

Um.... Vanilla belongs...word to your mother.

Hey i actually liked a few of their tracks.. "house of horrors" and "mad professor" are hilarious :)
And wtf are Paul Oakenfold and Jamiroquai doing on that list...? Who are these guys to decide what's good music and what's not?

WTF, how were these names decided, was it a poll or did they pull them out of a monkeys ass anyway, there seem to be a few mistakes:
The Spin Doctors - I still listen to pocket full of kryptonite
Mike & the Mechanics - Not my cup of tea but a respectable number of hits none the less.
Blind Melon - ????why
Bob Geldof - see answer to mike and the mechanics
The Doors - bigger than they deserved to be due to jimmies death but seriously in they would make a lot of best of lists
Live - new stuff is crap but throwing copper is one of my all time favourites
Arrested Development - one of THE seminal albums of the nineties
Crash Test Dummies - not great but not the worst
Jamiroquai - Do they even know who he is, no way he'd be here if they did 5 albums + a heap of hits and awards inc. MTV video award
Yngwie Malmsteen - is one of the most talented guitarists of this generation
Mick Jagger - why has he been singled out, do they mean the stones were a bad band or what?

Insane Clown Posse - I have listened to and enjoyed their stuff, it's not serious I admit but then neither is Eminems stuff and I don't see him here

I think most of that list is pretty accurate, but Malmsteen??? i mean seriously, the guy has talent whether you like his music or not

but as for ICP at #1, totally agreed

ICP are pretty rotten but sit yer ass down and try and listen to Mariah Carey. or Celine Dion. or the Spice Girls. or the backstreet kids on the block or.......

they do suck pretty dam bad

I'm not a big fan of ICP i think they are pretty far down on the worst bands i've heard.

A juggalo (excluding most the adjectives attatched to the name) is a certain type of fanatical ICP fan. Kinda like a "deadhead" only replace grateful dead with ICP.

This has probably been expressed by everyone here (at least I hope), but...THE DOORS!?!?!? THE FREAKING DOORS!?!?!?

/me leaves and burns all my best CD's and LP's because this list told me to.

Yeah obviously that list is thrown together by morons, I agree that ICP isn't the greatest but their obviously worse out there.

I disagree with the Doors and Kansas being on that list...

i agree with the ICP vote.

I don't even like the Doors, and they don't belong anywhere near this list.

Live? Toad the Wet Sprocket? Fuck this list.

That list is terrible. It looks like no thought was put into it and they just had 1 guy put down his opinion.

I wanna see that person write a top 50 best bands list... that would be fun to mock...

This is only one jack-ass' opinion and just because it was published doesn't give it any real creadence. I am sure we could all make our own lists and none of them would be the same. As for ICP, while I wouldn't buy their albums, I do find them fun to listen too. Certainly they are a joke, but they know they are, thats the idea. To say that they are the worst band in the world is not giving a lot of really terrible bands the credit they deserve.

i agree that ICP sucks. But i have really liked some of the other bands on that list. Especially Primus they have some of the best riffs ever... well in my opinion. they were weird but very talented.

I like some of their songs. I'm surprised The Harry Potters didn't win :)

Put it this way, there are now a whole bunch of people talking about Blender magazine. Taking the randomness of the list, I'd say that there is a decent chance that they knew full well how wrong some of the entries were, but were banking on the "no such thing as bad publicity" angle.
