Music's Hall of Shame

"Music's dinosaurs live on in Hall of Shame"
   <http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/08/13/1060588441379.html>

Blender magazine's "50 worst artists in music history".  Some selections
are obvious, but there are a few surprises, e.g. #37 The Doors.  Bound
to stimulate debate.

The complete Blender article:

Some nominees that were obviously overlooked:

1. "Liam, Appletons & Howlett Form ABBA Style Group"
   <http://www.rockdirt.com/article6605.html>
They're calling themselves 'LNNL', based on their first initials
(alá ABBA):
  Liam Gallagher (Oasis)
  Nicole Appleton (All Saints)
  Natalie Appleton (All Saints)
  Liam Howlett (Prodigy)

2. "Cherie braced for pop hit"

3. "Nine-day-old baby gets an earful at AC/DC gig"
   <http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s886541.htm>

4. "Out of tune guitar band sets record"
   <http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s891196.htm>

5. "Elvis all shook up, all night long"
   <http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s928895.htm>
Not Elvis, I mean the impersonator.
