The music scene is always changing and many artists try to keep up. Some succeed by means of constant reinvention (David Bowie, Madonna), others by assuming a signature look they’ve created (The Ramones, Stevie Nicks). Some do the inexplicable and define cool by being total dorks (Elvis Costello, My Chemical Romance). Some try being hip and their failure at it borders on devastation (or crosses that border entirely). So in tribute we salute those pathetic attempts at staying "with it."


(I would like to remind all voters in this poll that the nominations, though overseen, were not picked by the poster. These are almost completely based on suggestions made by the users who submitted nominee ideas. If you decide to attack the user for the nominees then you will only end up humiliating yourself as a result. You have been warned.)

I'm loving the polls but you know me. I always thing that there's just one thing that needs to be said because it's going to be said anyway.
today that thing is: "But it's PAUL MCCARTNEY."

Seriously, Joss Stone is annoying. What the hell is with the freaking clothes that give me headaches. Can she just try a simple little black dress? I'm all for originality, but when you give someone a headache, you know you've gone too far.

Gabe Saporta is lead singer to 'Cobra Starship'. He use to be the bassiest and lead singer to the band 'Midtown'. And I also agree with you about Paul McCartney.
flosipie: 11/09/2007 7:12 AM
tbh,, Gabe Saporta is awesome.
He shouldn't ber in here.
and no, i'm not a teenie :/
