Music's Hall of Shame

   "Music's dinosaurs live on in Hall of Shame"
      < http://www.smh.com.au/articles/2003/08/13/1060588441379.html >

   Blender magazine's "50 worst artists in music history".  Some selections
   are obvious, but there are a few surprises, e.g. #37 The Doors.  Bound
   to stimulate debate.

   The complete Blender article:

   Some nominees that were obviously overlooked:

   1. "Liam, Appletons & Howlett Form ABBA Style Group"
      < http://www.rockdirt.com/article6605.html >
   They're calling themselves 'LNNL', based on their first initials
   (alá ABBA):
     Liam Gallagher (Oasis)
     Nicole Appleton (All Saints)
     Natalie Appleton (All Saints)
     Liam Howlett (Prodigy)

   2. "Cherie braced for pop hit"
      < http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/music/3121751.stm >

   3. "Nine-day-old baby gets an earful at AC/DC gig"
      < http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s886541.htm >

   4. "Out of tune guitar band sets record"
      < http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s891196.htm >

   5. "Elvis all shook up, all night long"
      < http://www.abc.net.au/news/newsitems/s928895.htm >
   Not Elvis, I mean the impersonator.
