18. Britney Spears – Don't get us wrong the people behind Britney have crafted some great songs over the years. Her videos are often pretty good too, considering the context. But the harsh reality is Britney couldn't sing live with a gun to her head. Once proclaimed as the new pop queen, thanks to her countless TV appearances and live tours she is now merely the queen of mime. Her management, of course, claim her performances are all about the “spectacle” rather than the singing. Yeah, right.

- I take it you're not counting rock bands. When you make that list, I'd better see ICP, Limp Bizkit, Creed, Nickelback, Warrant, 30 Seconds to Mars, and anything Oasis produced after 1995. Although this list still should've included Michael Bolton, Kenny G, and Hall and Oates.
- Rob & Fab for MilliVanilli were actually perfect for their roles. And the musicians behind the 'act' produced some brilliant pop ditties. Not sure they should be on your list.
- Oops, Milli Vanilli guy killed himself.

- No K-Fed? Where's She Wants Revenge? They're the Pussycat Dolls of the post-punk genre (let's take Interpol, throw a faux goth sheen over it, dumb down the lyrics to the delight of middle schoolers, use Joy Division sounding song titles to cover it up).
