"You Suck": Biggest Sellouts in Music  
WORSTS 

Tags: music, sellout, rock music, money, hip hop, success

Whether they put out a disco album or sued Napster, these musical artists are definitely not what they used to be. Is there someone else you would like to see on the list? Feel free to contribute by clicking the "add to this wiki" button!

	Nelly Furtado- She went from folky and offbeat on her debut "Whoa, Nelly" to being another hip hop hottie/back-up vocalist. She's making a ton more money now, but her music is basically unlistenable unless you're half-drunk in some nightclub. We're disappointed.
	Incubus- "S.C.I.E.N.C.E" and "Make Yourself" started Incubus off as being gritty, groovy and funky as hell. Then Brandon Boyd cut his dreads off, fell in love with his abs, became the poster boy for Sensitive Acoustic Guitar Hottie, and their music naturally traveled a similar downward slope. "Morning View" was their last good album- and even that sometimes bordered on commercial cheese.
	Metallica- After they sued Napster, put out a plethora of box sets, made music videos after they claimed they never would, and made a documentary showing what whiny drama queens they are, Metallica has officially stuck a fork in their own musical career. Speaking of music, their sound went way downhill after "The Black Album"- that is, if you actually thought they were good to begin with.
	Limp Bizkit- They were praised for their original, funky sound, until Fred Durst led the band down a dark, commercial path with "Chocolate Starfish and the Hot Dog Flavored Water". However, I think they finally threw in the towel when they performed with Christina Aguilera at the MTV Video Music Awards- in addition to theme song deals for "Mission Impossible 2" and "WrestleMania". Yuck.
	The Wiggles- They used to be sweet when they were still a few brightly dressed Australians playing at pre-schools and day care centers. Their debut album "Cold Spaghetti" still gives me chill bumps. And now? A Wiggles Movie. An international arena tour. Millions of dollars. The Wiggles totally suck now.
	KISS- They officially sold out when they put out that disco album, and when they took off their makeup. What gives?
	The Offspring- Six words: "Pretty Fly For a White Guy". A catchy number, yes, but incomparable to their earlier albums "Smash" and "Xnay on the Hombre". The song appealed to persons 14 and under- anyone else is old enough to know better than to fall for such sing-songey, novelty crap.
	Good Charlotte- In my personal opinion, they've never been "good". They can't write, and they don't play their instruments particularly well. Despite that, they were good at the simple task of making fun, fast power-pop/punk for the eighteen-and-under crowd. Then, they hit it big with "The Young and the Hopeless", became MTV darlings and the Hollywood fusspots they spoke out against on "Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous". Dating Hilary Duff... and Nicole Richie? Really?
