  Except for Springsteen. But the Pink Floyd and King Crimson are missing.

    I really love the Barrett era of Floyd, so I included Waters... Crimson are one of my favorite bands...

    But of course. I was joking, obviously. Everyone has their own preferences.

  But if you look at the crazy ones, who’s watching you?

  It would be beneficial to change the name of this ranking from "worst artist ever" to "those who totally disgust me and whom I will never be able to appreciate due to a different sensibility."
  I admit that "worst artist ever" is much more practical and concise. Apart from that...
  Of all of these, I would keep only one name. Not the only one I don't appreciate, but the only one I would leave as I intend the meaning of "worst."

    Clearly, you raise a so-called 'typical' issue. However, no matter how much you might be right, we must still understand rankings, as well as reviews or ratings of reviews, in terms of subjective expression. Yesterday, I was responding to a question from sfascia regarding a review I wrote about a record that I didn’t necessarily review in a destructive way, yet I still gave it one star. Of course, one can also take a more objective approach... nevertheless, I think that given the plurality of reviewers and the openness to anyone in this regard, the site mainly allows each person the opportunity to express themselves according to their own taste and attitudes.
    

    Curiosity: who is this worse nameless one?

    Yes, I agree, the issue is about different sensitivities, but then many of these people get on my nerves. In any case, it's just a little game. And what’s the name of that worst one?

    @[sotomayor] it’s OBVIOUS that if the ranking is called "worst artist ever," it implies "worst for the writer." I’ll take the rest for granted because I know enough about Lulu and the reasons that might lie behind certain choices.
    Then there are artists who still deserve to be contextualized, in the sense that including Genesis makes sense if we talk about the '80s, but it’s still difficult (I couldn’t do it either) to give a single judgment on a band that has had two - actually at least three - completely different phases.
    For me, the worst are Guns N' Roses because they turned their roots into a stereotype suitable for their time and because they did the ugliest and most inappropriate covers of all time.
