[Scrapheap]

Everything done by Supertramp

Everything Barry Manilow.

[McGiver]

i'd like to take the gallagher brothers of Oasis, and axl rose and dump them on an isle.

Dump James Blunt while you're at it, too. But it doesn't have to be an island. The middle of fucking Atlantic is fine with me.

Quite a comprehensive and diverse listing, there ASpHole. I'm going to salvage a few of your rejects. To start off, I think if we cuff wrists to ankles and hang them up by their waists, butt-up, we could make some money with Britney Spears, Madonna, and maybe one of the witches from AirSupply, can't remember her name.
New Kids On the block and probably Limp Bizkit could be used as chum, behind the trawler, which will catch the swordfish and various small fish that are delicious to eat. I also can't let you take Yngwie, until he coughs up a couple of the custom guitars he has, that someone I know made and Dan Seals gets the rescue, too. I lived two blocks from Dan on Old Hickory Lake near Nashville, twenty years ago. I remember him as a fishing buddy. Also, I think my wife would enjoy to abuse Kenny G a few times before we use him as chum also. What is it about guys with big knobby noses? Also, we might save the wenches from ABBA for Tig's boredom relief. Vai has a guitar I want, too. He'll probably cave easy.

You don't seriously think I'd let them take their instruments do you? Yngwie's collection of Vintage Fender Stratocasters, and vintage Marshall amps are to be confiscated and given to starving musicians. Unless Vai has a stash of '59 Gibson Les Paul Flametops hidden somewhere, You can have all of his Ibanez guitars. Same thing with his Mesa Tripe Rectifier heads, and his Carvin Heads....I think he got rid of all of his Marshalls long ago, but if he has a Soldano SLO-100 back off! --That one's mine.

[DirtDawg]

 Good man! Now you're talking.

[Diesel]

Bruce Springsteen
Kid Rock
All boy bands
All Gangsta Rap
Britney Spears

The only two I can think of that weren't mentioned already are:

John Mayer for being so bland that every song I hear by him makes me see beige
and
Snow Patrol, for not only writing a crappy overplayed song, but a crappy overplayed song that they take fucking FOREVER to spit out (if anyone talked like that around me, I'd start by finishing their sentences and eventually try to either medicate or demedicate them)

-edited for spelling-

[El]

I remembered another one last night:  Macy Gray.  Although I'd be fine with just removing her vocal cords.  One of the most annoying voices ever.  I think I'd rather listen to William Hung.

[Tom/Mutate]

I really like Radiohead, especially the Bends and Ok Computer.  I don't care how other people have "rated" my music, I just listen to things I hear that I enjoy.   It wouldn't spoil a band a liked for me if someone else "rated them too highly" or whatever.
