50 worst bands list

Of course it's a stupid list. Stupid lists boost sales much better than good lists. A list that pisses everyone off is a list that has everyone writing in, furious over the suggestions, which is a list that has everyone checking the next issue, to see if their letter was answered or if anything was addressed or if they did something even more stupid.

A good list is something that everyone reads, says "Hunh. That was pretty good," puts the magazine back down and wanders off, forgetting about it. Against all odds, outrageous articles seem to sell more magazines than well-written ones.

It's a musical tabloid and should be treated as such.

EDIT: Case in point - how many times do you think that this article has been posted around the internet? I know I've seen it a few times before I came here. People read it, get pissed off, and show it to everyone else. Everyone else goes to read it, gets pissed off, and spreads it around. But while they're getting all angry about the article, people are on there saying "Hey, look at that. Hometown Hotties. Let's check THAT out."

And suddenly they've got some more subscribers.
