They're Number One! Insane Clown Posse edged out many older and more venerable acts (including Michael Bolton, Kenny G. and Jefferson Starship), to be named history's worst rock band. But what's wrong with Emerson, Lake and Palmer? Posted by Rand Simberg at August 14, 2003 01:02 PMTrackBack URL for this entry:

Good Grief....Emerson, Lake and Palmer among the worst bands
Excerpt: I LIKE EMERSON, LAKE AND PALMER AND I SAW THEM IN CONCERT TWICE IN TUCSON, AZ. Transterrestrial Musings has a link to post that is by........I'm so perturbed that I'm not going to mention who wrote the article.... Weblog: Sleaze Report Ruminations Tracked: August 14, 2003 11:44 PM

i can't believe mike & the mechanics and rick wakeman made the cut either. the site only shows the 41-50, but i gotta guess that if ELP is #2 then my favorite bands Yes, King Crimson, Genesis, Gentle Giant, PFM, Pretty Things, all have to be in the top 20! Posted by Chris Hall at August 14, 2003 02:01 PMWhere did Yoko Ono rank? Posted by Howard Johnson at August 14, 2003 06:04 PMLet's face it...if a "rock critic" wants to hack out a quick column so he can get back to trying to snag one of Springsteen's cast-off groupies, he writes a slash piece on prog rock. Bonus points for heavy use of the word "pretentious." Why does everyone, from these contemptable idiots, to the esteemed American Film Institute, believe they can affect any sort of valid quantification on something so fundementally qualitative? Posted by Kevin L. Connors at August 14, 2003 11:11 PM"But what's wrong with Emerson, Lake and Palmer?" Keith Emerson could *play*. I have heard that they could even do all three at the same time. That puts them way ahead of a lot of other bands, if you ask me. (Thanks, Toren, for the book reference. I want to read that.) Posted by Dell Adams at August 15, 2003 03:57 AMCalling ICP a rock band is an insult to every other rock band in existence. They are a rap-group and a rather rubbish one at that. Yeah I am with Howard how about Yoko? Posted by Andrew Ian Dodge at August 15, 2003 12:11 PMI'm down with the Clown Posted by Hefty at August 15, 2003 12:27 PMIf you want to hear a bad rock band, wander down to the corner bar tonight and listen to the cover band. All of these bands at least wrote their own music, got signed, put out albums and toured, which puts them heads and shoulders above 90% of their peers. And I agree with Kevin, it's so subjective it's not funny. I don't really like Sting, and I think he was the least talented member of the Police, but that doesn't make him a bad musician. Posted by Jon Acheson at August 15, 2003 12:43 PMAnybody remember David Cassidy and other such stalwarts as the Bay City Rollers? Posted by Mike Puckett at August 15, 2003 04:44 PMAny self-respecting worst band list would have disco bands occupying half the list. Posted by Alan K. Henderson at August 15, 2003 11:59 PMI am in no way defending ICP, in fact I agree that rap is not rock. I would go further and say, rock is not rap, jazz is not classical, classical is not country, and what ever happened to western. If you like ICP, BUY IT!!! Lists like this transcend a critique of the subject music and go right to the writers own likes and dislikes, and who cares what someone else likes. I don't wear my headphones on THEIR ears. People who buy music based on lists also buy cars based on commercials, not on test drives. This whole issue just goes to prove, once again, that those who do, do, those who can't do, become critics. Gotta go now, headed out to a polka festival you betcha! Posted by Steve at August 16, 2003 12:47 PMI can't believe ELP was rated worse than Asia. I happen to love ELP, kinda like the Buggles, and liked Yes a whole lot. But that particular blend of some of their band members has to rate worse than ELP on anyone's scale. Ok. Got that off my chest. Recently I dug out my old turntable, repaired it and played a good chunk of my old vinyl collection. I discovered that Gino Vanelli just irritates the living shit out of me, that my kids absolutely adore bands like Romeo Void and Split Enz (although the oldest is about twelve years younger than I was when I bought those albums), and that my wife is generally annoyed by vinyl because you have to actually get up and flip them over.
