Now I'm miffed - BLENDER labels Skinny Puppy one of the 50 worst artists in music history

:wtf:

These guys were freakin' awesome. Haven't had much of a chance to catch up with their projects since reuniting after Dwayne's death, but I hold them in the highest respect. With all due respect to NIN, Puppy was the best and most expressive industrial band ever. Harsh and demanding, but also intensely personal.

I mean, come on.

1. Consider the source of the comment.

I have several Skinny Puppy recordings and still respect them as being decades ahead of their time.

Blender, on the other hand, I have never heard of. :shrug:

2. If it doesn't involve Jack White in any way Blender automatically thinks it's crap.

Blender always makes horrible picks for music.

4. Wrong tense. Don't you mean Blender "thought it was crap"?

Tellingly, the magazine published its last issue in March.

That said, I like Jack White. So there. :P

3. Is this satire?

Otherwise, I don't understand why someone would say such a thing. :shrug:

6. Well that's just dumb.

Christ, you could pick 40 of the worst just by looking at any current Billboard chart.
