Posted on 04/05/2013 7:20:30 PM PDT by MNDude

I wouldn’t use the term “musician”, but I just don’t get how anyone could think Kanye West is a “genius”.

Shouldn’t this thread go into the religious forum?

My candidate, anyway: Elvis Priestley after Sun Records.

...on top of all that were mentioned, almost any corporate pop that is out now. Justin Stuned Bieber, Ke$ha, Black Eyed Peas, 30 Seconds to Mars, and so on and so on and so on.

"Bruce Springsteen."

Amen! Time and Newsweek both had him on their covers within a week of each other back in the late '70's as I recall. It was the first I had heard of him. Let's face it, Bob Dylan and Tom Waits were successful, too...at least they had memorable lyrics.

maybe starting with the Monkees, but any boy band that was put together to appeal to prepubescent girls with out regard to their ability to create and perform music. (e.g. Monkees, Back Street Boys, New Kids, etc)

I figure it was mostly women who bought Johnny Ray’s records. A lot of men didn’t like his music.

Agreed. And any oversingers like Celine Dion and Whitney Houston.
