remember that thread, from a little while back, in which somebody asked, "what's the worst atrocity committed by mankind?" well, my response to the question was that past a certain point one can't really compare atrocities. once we've entered the realm of the unspeakable, words truly fail.
the same thing goes with irredeemably bad music.

Wrong-o.
Buffet still wins.
Sting was in the Police.
Clapton was in a few good bands.
I can go on.
Buffet has always sucked. Not one good day of music.
Please try again though. I'm curious to see if there is actually anyone worse than that awful self-proclaimed "pirate."

PS- Robbie Williams? Annoying, but not even close, mate.

Still, there aren't any "G-heads."
No Kenny Kulture, like Buffet has.
Although he could call his fansite "The G Spot."

Maybe not, but there is this to consider:
Wikipedia wrote:Though he claims not to be a jazz musician, Kenny G has been criticized by some jazz players for his pedestrian, soulless playing. For example, Pat Metheny was harshly critical when G overdubbed his saxophone onto a Louis Armstrong recording for his jazz standards album Classics In The Key Of G. [4]. Metheny wrote that Kenny G, "through his unbelievably pretentious and calloused musical decision to embark on this most cynical of musical paths, shit all over the graves of all the musicians past and present who have risked their lives by going out there on the road for years and years developing their own music inspired by the standards of grace that Louis Armstrong brought to every single note he played over an amazing lifetime as a musician." Richard Thompson also weighed in on the controversy with a song called "I Agree with Pat Metheny", in which he sang "a meeting of great minds, how nice / like Einstein and Sporty Spice."

Buffet's STILL worse.
Although when you're criticized by Pat Metheny, a guy who bought $100,000 in gear to make his guitar sound like a $5 harmonica, you're truly nowhere.

Michael McDonald.
Garth Brooks' rock alter-ego whose name escapes me.
But shit, JB is bad. The Eagles really get under my skin.

There is bad, and there is bad. I have, and have recently listened to, records by the following artists:
Telly Savalas (3 lps...he put out four!)
Burt Reynolds
Tiny Tim
Loverboy (all of it)
Warrant
Spice Girls
Y&T
Etc.
I'm not entirely sure why, but I sometimes feel compelled to listen to horrifying crap...maybe to throw my impeccable tastes into contrast...
