I saw him live 20 years ago and was he ever sloppy on the guitar. Basically it was all distortion.

But then again Frank would admit that he wouldn't sing and play guitar at the same time. I think that his singing is more about humor and social commentary. |

Have to disagree with Tom Waits. I have Swordfishtrombones, and I like his hoarse singing. Then again, that's what happens when you keep listening to Don Van Vliet and Lee Jackson.

Nonsense, Friday is possibly the funniest bad song because of the lyrics, but I can give you 4 worse songs right now without even using Brokencyde or another Ark musician. Friday x 10, and possibly an al-Qaeda propaganda video. I've actually watched Friday more than once, but I can't make it to the end of this song. This song and video is God's punishment for our sins, and I would play it on every TV at every mall across the country if I could. We deserve it. Surely there cannot be a song with a chorus worse than this. Oh, there is. If you're curious, Willow has now moved up from whatever that was to Ke$ha for the second single from her upcoming debut album, except that she's 10 so it's more than a little unsettling. At least wait until you're 14 to start sexualizing yourself so I don't feel so bad when I masturbate. She's going to be great in the remake of Annie!

Have to agree with the Snow Dog here. I've taken quite a liking to Oldfield's playing lately. |

Wakeman is often mistaken for Clayderman, I don't think he's too impressed about it.

Agree about SRV-- I think he came off to many as just some modern blues player or Albert King/Hendrix imitator. But live, especially in his drunken heyday during the early 80s, he was incredible, probably the greatest white bluesman ever. I also have to agree about Hammett, low on skill and taste, high on bluff.
As for pop stars, Pink has tremendous talent, great voice and a real edge to her music. |

Could never decide on one truly amazing artist (I'm way to easily impressed I guess. ) but the crappy one for me would definitely be this. |

His tone on Songs from a Distant Earth is wondrous. |
