According to Blender magazine at least...

ICP = Insane Clown Posse

Then they listed my favorite band (ELP) as the 2nd worst...I couldn't
think of two acts that are more different. I guess everything sucks
except for what they like.

Michael Bolton and Kenny G in there somewhere too, but hey that's too
easy of a target.

The really lamoid thing is that if you go to this link on their site:

http://www.blender.com/articles/article_466.html

They only show 50 - 40, and want you to go buy the magazine to see the
rest of the list.

If that's the best reason they have for buying their rag, I don't see
them staying in business for long.

I've often thought that music critics came from the same place that
spawns Time Share condo salesmen, telemarketers, political
consultants, and internet spammers...

p.s. If you read their description of why they don't like ICP, I think
they are missing the whole point, they ARE stupid because they ARE
SUPPOSED TO BE STUPID.
What do they think that genre is about "art" or something?

Those spermburps at Blender have no clue at all.

They were sending me the mag for a few months for free when they launched.
It's kinda cool.

I saw this list and it doesn't make much sense other than they seemed to
hate
people in all times frames and genres.

Well I followed some link that gave the fave bands of the
editors....typical muso critic stuff including ELVIS COSTELLO.


That explains the ELP thing... they all gotta hate 70's art rock, even
though they gotta love Zappa even if they don't listen to him much... was
Tull on the worst list? And Talking Heads on the best?

It's sad... just because buncha nerdy teenage boys without
girlfriends
take ICP seriously, they assume that ICP take ICP seriously which is
obviously
not the case as anyone who has heard ICP knows.


Serious or not, it's pretty boring stuff. If you want parody, get GWAR.

I agree, it's boring. but artistically offensive? It's not trying to be
art!
blahblah

I rather enjoyed the article. When I was at my local bookstore I
finished the article and was happy there were a few of the bands I
abhore, namely Creed... and the Goo Goo dolls.

Usenet must be dropping (an unusually high number of) messages, I
don't see the post where you say "I agree, it's boring. but
artistically offensive?" nor the "I rather enjoyed the article"
response on my news service. I just saw another RAP thread with quotes
from missing posts.
Below I quote "the original Usenet article" that gives a URL to the
magazine article (my newsreader shows you responding to the original
article).
It's some sort of "power outage" on the Information Superhighway,
perhaps related to that other power outage.
