There's a difference between not liking particular artists or certain types of music vs. what I think the original point of this thread which is namely; artists who have achieved success even though they SUCK!;) While I don't care much for Wynton Marsalis I don't think it can be denied that he's a skilled & well-trained musician. The same can be said for Manhatten Transfer. Where as someone like Kid Rock, not so much.
Do you ever wonder?
Do you ever wonder why some artists (individuals or groups) attain success through critical acclaim and/or record (cd) sales?
Here is my list of those who have made it in the recording/entertainment industries and is completely puzzling to me.
Please list your own; it's irrelevant what you think of mine.
OK, here you go (in no particular order):
Sheryl Crow
Norah Jones
Michael Bolton
Celine Dion
Joe Cocker
Manhattan Transfer
Boston
Rickie Lee Jones
Pink
Phil Collins
That's enough to get started; show me what you got.
