I'll allow it.

Best: Neil Young

I thought about including Neil, and I respect his work and his insistence throughout his career of making the music he wants to make rather than bowing to the record companies; but with that said, I just can't listen to much of it. I go back and forth between sheer boredom and teeth-grinding annoyance at his whiny voice. But the man can play and write music and has been a primary influence on some of my favorite bands, such as Pearl Jam.

Best: "Weird" Al Yankovic (It's his actual name, even though "Weird" is part of his nickname)

Worst: Ying Yang Twins

There's not as many Y's to choose from as I thought there might be, but I do like NY's early stuff from the 70's. I really don't listen to much of his stuff from the last 25 years, as it doesn't do much for me.

 

[Blue2010]

Best:

You Me At Six
Young Guns

HM: Yellowcard (only b/c this is a short list and I liked a few songs back in the day)

Both lesser known rock bands.

I got nothing to add for this one. You guys have it covered.

For the best, I would add to Yes and Neil Young, the Yardbirds.

Worst: Yin Yang Twins
