More irrational hatreds of musical artists

This from anonymous:

Ummm. What does it mean when the only person who responds to your top 10 irrational music hatreds can't distinguish between Don Henley and Don McLean? Perhaps it means that what you really meant for your list was:

10. Hanson (bros.)
9. Axl Rose
8. Styxx
7. yeah, the Clash
6. Dr. Hook
5. William Shatner
4. Mariah Carey
3. Tim Weisberg
2. Tony Bennett
1. Leo Sayer

A most excellent list, anonymous, in the sense that you name several cringe-worthy artists. But not so good insofar they are inherently cringe-worthy. I suppose what makes them irrational is the intensity of your hatred.

I did learn, however, that Leo was a man. I always thought the person who sang his music was a woman.

How can you hate Hanson? They're too...nothing to hate?

Axl Rose? check.

Styxx. They were "AWE-some!!" when I was 11. check.

Dr. Hook. I appreciate your courage for stating this. Someone needed to.

William Shatner. Here we must part ways. You'll Have Time is real art. No irony. I mean it. Of course I don't know his notorious '60's stuff.

Mariah Carey. Oh yes. Absolutely. Horrible.

Tim Weisberg. I can get behind that. Yep. Pretty horrible.

And Tony Bennett. Bless you for saying this!! Bless you!! Because someone needs to point out that musical emperor is as naked as a jaybird. The MOST overrated singer ever. Right on, anonymous.

Great list.

Perhaps you haven't listened to Sharing the Night Together. Best song ever!!

very overrated movies

5. The Notebook
This is the same chick flick we have suffered many times before, and it never gets any better.

4. Napoleon Dynamite
Is there any point to this other than making fun of nerds?

3. Anything Disney has ever created
2. The Wizard of Oz
1. Gone with the Wind
even the pencil-thin mustache of Clarke Gable is not worth the four hours of my life
