Well I really don't think these old geeks like Diamond and Bill Haley are good. They can't sing and their music is boring. Paris Hilton alone is better than most artists from 50s and 60s combined.
One moment I remember was driving a fish delivery truck back in the 90's or so. Next up on the radio is some new Niel Young. I was prepared for the WORSTESST!
Guess what song it was?! Rocking in the Free World! I went APE! ROCK IT@!

Kenny G
I was going to post Kenny G but I decided I better read all the posts first to make sure no one else put him down.
I mean, christ almighty, I play sax better than this fool.
But I suppose I should give him credit for continuing to play past high school, as bad as he is.
