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.

Practically every other person I ever come across likes music that I find unfathomable. Their entire listening habits are populated by artists that possess little or no talent that I can see or from musical genres that I loathe. It's often stated that if we were all alike life would be boring and of course that rings true with music. It does allow some of us to bask in the warmth of superiority and that does provide some solace to this occasionally dreary life.
My personal list of artists I cannot stand and that are hugely popular would be far too many to list. Although, it would be a pretty safe bet to state that 99.9(recurring)% of all artists to have charted in either the UK or USA in the last 35 years would make the list.
