    Looked at this list the other night and as the gag reflex was about to kick in, I had to stop and laugh. All of the contemporary "artists" that are named are shit. When flung at the side of tall, well built structure (represented by Jimi, the Beatles, etc.) they only stick for a short time and then dry up and blow away. The building remains. The Black Eyed Peas and the others create "product" for people who don't really like music. Soon they will fade away and I don't expect that anyone will be giving them a second thought in a couple of years, let alone 40 years. As I always say, Shit: 50 Million flies can't be wrong.

    Thanks. Now I have (another) night of hard drink in store for me. Also, there's a typo here.

    8. Katy Perry holds the same record as Michael Jackson for most number one singles from an album

    Should actually read:

    8. Katy Perry's enormous cans hold the same record as Michael Jackson for most number one singles from an album
