12. Justin Bieber � He may be an easy target, but phenomenal popularity aside, judging by the 16-year-old's musical output alone he deserves a place on our countdown. From the pop-R&B quagmire of his debut single 'One Time' to the slightly creepy 'Baby', Bieber's music is all ultra-glossed, over-produced fodder that's custom built by studio geniuses to infiltrate the charts. Scratch beneath the surface and there's nothing there but millions of screaming teenagers.

- 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.
