The Ten Most Annoying Singers

[bobsticks]

I agree with both side in this little political tete-a-tete.

Of course, in this glorious country and many others everyone enjoys the right to have an opinion and speak freely on it. I'm with our esteemed colleague Lazarus Short in that I'll defend to the death your right to say anything...just be prepared for the a backlash of common sense against drivel.

The crux of the biscuit is that most of these "stars" are idiots and followers. A President, any President, is only as powerful as the current tide of popular content or discontent bestows upon the office. The President is largely a world figurehead but actually wields little power in the arena of national policy. The toothless collection of demagogic, insanely-ranting, greed-driven, old white assclowns that is the United States Congress is the seat of all power in the areas of budget and policy.

Whenever I hear even the hint of some Vanity Fair, 5th grade Social Studies class bull**** start to come out of one of these twit's mouths I intsantly discount the content and cease buying product, if I'd ever started.

Maybe I've been lucky? I seem to have little problem separating the message from the music, and the commentary from the performance. There's an ton of stuff Rage Against the Machine whined about, I still thought they kicked ass.

I think it's safe to say we're all in agreement though - Bono (wow, was he not mentioned yet?) and the other sympathy sluts make for incredibly annoying singers.

I think Rage had more to offer. It's easier to tune out Zack's cries for a Zapatista revolution or freedom for Tibet when Mr. Morello cranks into overdrive. I mean who really cares about Babs' backing band? Plus, c'mon Zapata was an idiot but at least it's original and not bandwagon whining.

That's a big part of it. If you're band sucks and you're fighting globalization or whatever, you're in big trouble. Nonetheless, I can usually separate the messages from the music.
Lyrics are usually the last thing I notice in a song though - if the music doesn't hook me I wouldn't care about words. With a few exceptions, of course...

I change my picks, the more I think about it, Bono is public enemy #1 for me...

I have been known to avoid certain shows do to the preaching I heard last time around. They can talk all they want, but not on my dime.

I brought up Bono too. His voice rips through me like a twisted knife with jagged edges.

I didn't know a lot of his picks, but I do happen to like James Blunt.

He's not groundbreaking, but not ear breaking either.

I might have added Billy Ray Cyrus, if only for that stuipd achy-heart song.

Micheal Bolton is about the worst.

You like popsicles?

No, I like poppin' bottles like the multiple ones Swishy pops to fuel his liquor-induced, star-****ing fantasies.
