Ultimate Music Survey

It's Sunday afternoon and I'm bored, so I thought I'd dig around online for some fun surveys. I found this . . .

The bad stuff

What's your least favorite genre of music?: Whatever the kids are listening to these days.

Who do you think is the most annoying musician?: Courtney Love.
If you could shoot any "artist" or "band", who would it be?: I'd say 50 Cent, but I don't think one more bullet would harm him.
Who do you think is the least talented?: Honestly, it's going to be some local band that only does covers of another band that already sucks to begin with and spends more time drinking than practicing.

Most repetitive song: I don't know. "My Humps," I guess.
Last song to be stuck in your head: "The Word" by The Beatles, earlier.
Did this survey just get that song stuck in your head again? (sorry): Not really, but I wouldn't mind.
Worst band that used to be good?: Bon Jovi. What happened to them?
A good band that used to suck?: I can't think of one. I wish I had.
