Re: Billboard Artists of the Decade

1) Eminem - Going out on a limb and saying I'm probably the only fan of his here.
2) Usher - Never got the fascination with him.
3) Nelly - Downhill since Country Grammar.
4) Beyonce - No
5) Alicia Keys - Definitely belongs here, very, very talented.
6) 50 Cent - Really?
7) Nickelback - One song does ok...let's just change the lyrics!!!!
8) Britney Spears - I don't have the words
9) Destiny's Child - What a shame.
10) Jay-Z - No question should be on this list
11) Mariah Carey - I thought she went away after the mid 90's...she should have.
12) Black Eyed Peas - Like them too, but have no idea why they're top 20.
13) Pink - What?
14) Kelly Clarkson - First American Idol winner, and actually pretty good. Makes sense she's on here.
15) Kanye West - He's a dooshbag, but his stuffs not bad.
16) Ludacris - Can make a bad song good. Love the style.
17) Rihanna - Good for club music, probably why she's on here.
18) Creed - Sucks.
19) Linkin Park - Best band in recent memory.
20) Christina Aguilera - eh, at least she's talented.
 
Re: Billboard Artists of the Decade

It amazes me that people have bought that many Nickelback albums. They're basically just a modern day version of Warrant. :rolleyes:
 
Re: Billboard Artists of the Decade

Why is everyone surprised that an authority on the sales of crappy pop music would make a top 20 list full of crappy pop artists? The list pretty much sums up the artists that dominated the decade on pop radio, so as far as Billboard is concerned, its right on.

We need yet another reason to biatch and complain? :confused: :D
 
Re: Billboard Artists of the Decade

Radiohead
Arcade Fire
Gnarls Barkley
Muse
...that's about it.

How about a list of bands you liked coming into the decade and have since lost all respect for?

Weezer
Weezer
Weezer
Weezer
Weezer
..enjoy your fanbase of 12 year old girls, *********s.
 
Re: Billboard Artists of the Decade

Clarkson and Aguilera are the only two in the list worth listening too.

My lord your taste in music sucks! You probably think Daughtry and Lady Gaga should be on there too :eek:

I am guessing since this is Billboard record sales was the premium behind this list?
 
Re: Billboard Artists of the Decade

1) Eminem - Going out on a limb and saying I'm probably the only fan of his here.

No I think the Marshall Mathers LP is a fantastic album...the rest of the stuff he has put out since than has blown donkey ballz.

2) Usher - Never got the fascination with him.

He can dance...and umm...girls find him sexy...

3) Nelly - Worthless piece of...
4) Beyonce - See: Nelly

FYP :p

5) Alicia Keys - Definitely belongs here, very, very talented.

Crazy but very talented so I can't argue.

6) 50 Cent - Really?
7) Nickelback - One song does ok...let's just change the lyrics!!!!
8) Britney Spears - I don't have the words
9) Destiny's Child - What a shame.

Do any 4 bands/people represent the crap that was this decade as well as these 4?

12) Black Eyed Peas - Like them too, but have no idea why they're top 20.

No wait, I guess the Black Eyed Peas do...my lord every new song they make and release is an exercise in lowering the bar that much more. And people pay to listen to that crap.

13) Pink - What?
14) Kelly Clarkson - First American Idol winner, and actually pretty good. Makes sense she's on here.
15) Kanye West - He's a dooshbag, but his stuffs not bad.
16) Ludacris - Can make a bad song good. Love the style.
17) Rihanna - Good for club music, probably why she's on here.
18) Creed - Sucks.
19) Linkin Park - Best band in recent memory.
20) Christina Aguilera - eh, at least she's talented.

Beyond Linkin Park (who is really only worth listening to live cause their shows are pure energy, the above artists suck. Not to the level of the other artists listed (well except Kanye who is basically Montel Jordan with added *********) but they are pretty horrible.

And people wonder why bands like Springsteen and the Who are still making millions on tour...

"Hey, let's get a good backbeat and then spend the whole song yelling one line at a time!"

I'm rather surprised Death Cab didn't make any of these lists. I guess I overestimated their popularity.

Ehh, they had a couple big years but nothing that had too much staying power. If I had a list of specific songs that were overplayed in a time period they would make it (Kings of Leon would own that list), but nothing that spans an entire decade.
 
Re: Billboard Artists of the Decade

1) Eminem - Going out on a limb and saying I'm probably the only fan of his here.

Nope, one more here.

The other 19 are children's music or unoriginal hip hop zombie acts, except #5, who is a legit artist I detest.

I like #1, #19 and hate almost everyone else though I like some of #2's music and #20's. #10 was solid in the previous decade.
