Linkin Park  one of the worst bands I have ever heard...
Gorillaz has their strong points, but nothing special
Hoobastank the least talented of all the Neo-grunge acts..and thats saying alot!
Incubus New?  They used to be a good band....their recent album kind of sucks
The White Stripes  amazing amazing band....Im not gonna go into why
AFI wannabe punks that need to listen to a clash album
Fefe Dobson the black Avril...thats not a good thing
Avril Lavigne about as much punk as Barry Manilow is punk
Maroon 5 I like them....very funky....
Michelle Branch like Avril, but more tolerable...and doesnt think she's punk
Evanescence interesting combination of Tori Amos and Linkin park....they have their good points, and they have their bad points
Alicia Keys its one thing to emulate your influences...its another to completely rip them off...which one of these is Alicia Keys guilty of? the second one, but I got to give her credit for something....shes a real musician
Nelly garbage
Nelly Furtado as lebeiw said, she needs to die...I hated her from the first note
Hilary Duff no, wait...she needs to die
Eric Heatherly who?
John Mayer  I might be the only persont hat likes his first album, and thinks the guy has some talent...he could be a good blues guitarist...if only he plays the blues

Linkin Park 1(I don't know how people can listen to this band.)
Gorillaz-Don't know about them
Hoobastank 1(I thought they sounded like a carbon copy of Incubus when I first heard them.)
Incubus 3.5(I heard the latest song, something is missing now.)
The White Stripes-Don't really like them.
AFI 3(they're ok from what I have heard: its not bad or great.)
FeFe Dobson 1(can't get into her stuff.)
Maroon 5-2.5(they're ok, I just don't think they last than long.)
Avaril Lavigne 1.5(Whats the hype about?)
Evanescence-5(Lead Singer's Amy Lee's voice is very sexy.)
Alicia Keys 3.5(I Like Alicia, she's a talented woman.)
Nelly 1(This is manys of the reason why rap music has just simply gone downhill. Nelly's a good person and he worked worked to where's he's at. He has no substance as a rap artist though.)
Nell Furtado-Don't really like her as a an artist.
Hillary Duff 1(I don't think should be an artist, I'm sure she is a good person but I don't think she should have a record deal.)

I noticed someone mention The Darkness at the bottom, if i had to give them a rating it would be like (-100), that one song by them has to be by far the worst song I have ever heard in my life.  I sware it sounds like someone is constently grabbing his nuts in that song.
