Let's see. The inventors of modern rap versus a novelty band that causes seizures. Hmm...
#3 (139) Sheryl Crow
Sheryl Crow had a few good singles from TNMC, one really good album in self titled, then has been consistently bearable. She's done her part to make grocery store radio all the more bearable. Unkle Cracker on the other hand has one recognizeable song which sounds creepily paternalistic and possessive.
#10 (630) Stabbing Westward
#1 Bruce Springsteen
