15 Worst Music Ideas... Ever!

Inspired by news of a truly tragic (and potentially hilarious) Milli Vanilli biopic in the works, your friendly neighborhood Spinners put together our picks for music's 15 worst ever ideas.

We pulled no punches, taking Metallica to task for their wussy 'dos just as quickly as we rapped Willie Nelson on the knuckles for his frightening foray into reggae.

We know there's a plethora of gag-worthy ideas that we didn't include. Trust us, narrowing it down to just 15 was enough of a struggle. Use the comments to tell us what else would have made your list, or just to bitch us out for skewering your favorite artist. It's OK, we can take it.

So, who did make our list of the 15 worst music ideas ever? Click here to find out.

What about the Bluegrass version of Superfreak?? Ricky Scaggs did it on an episode of Crossroads on CMT. I can't remember who sang with him.

Kiss removing their makeup was a much worse idea than Metallica cutting their hair.

But the worst idea ever? A little classic called WHEN JUSTIN MET KELLY.

I think you guys should have picked up on Pete Wentz's idea to show his penis. Better yet, him showing his penis resulting in all their underage fans posting kiddie porn on their website to support it.

How about rock/pop artists that release two separate albums at once (Like GnR or Springsteen) or do an album of nothing but cover versions which only works for jazz/traditional pop singers(Sinead O'Connor, Carly Simon, Annie Lennox, Tori Amos, and more recently, Clay Aiken amongst others), now that is definitely a sign that an artist's career is going downhill, a true Jump the Shark moment when it's released.

KISS washes their faces. Goes makeup-free.

Some things are just better left covered.

Nuff said!!
