    ok, ok, since i totally fucked up the poll here are the options:

    1. ice cube
    2. queen latifah
    3. gwen stefani
    4. mark mcgrath
    5. other

    by sellout i mean at some point the artist had some artistic credability. . .that excludes the brittany spears, madonna's, etc. of the world. . .i realize mark mcgrath is a stretch in that regard

    Pretty sure Mark McGrath has absolutely no credibility, should stick to his host job on that Hollywood show.

    Anyways, I would have to go with other because there are musicians that I once loved that just really went downhill.

    Mark McGrath was a sellout from the beginning..... altho, I do remember being amazed by his musical knowledge on some celebrity edition of Jeopardy. The other two contestants (Edwin McCain was one) had no freakin' chance!!

    not bad. . .even the sold out version of aerosmith to me isnt horrible. . .its just not classic aerosmith. . .plus i guess when you get old the urge to stay relevant pulls you towards the mainstream. . .the other artists i listed did so while still young making them more guilty in my book

    Well, the self admitted biggest sell out is Gene Simmons, he wins this contest easy.

    I don't agree with this I mean sure he is in the political mainstream now and his voice is somewhat smothered by the party line but still he is in a better position than ever to speak out about what he strongly believes in.

    i think he falls into that category of not really having any credability. . .at least not for the last 30 years

    im gonna cut chris a break for his ultra-lame clothes ads. . .as long as it doesnt happen again. . .i disagree with metallica, they altered their sound a little (and alot of people didnt like it), but i dont think they sold out per se

    But he always sucked and his rediculous dressing up and wearing the make up like he did...... he's always been a sell out, more along the lines of a Brittney Spears than an artist that was at one time valid.

  • Metallica hands down. They were the poster child of RIAA lawsuits till just a few months ago when they dropped their support.

    That's pretty much the definition of sell-out in my book


    #2 is Ice T
    #3 is Ice Cube
    #4 Queen Lativa

    That's ok, I didn't expect that people would agree with me. :)

    When you support someone and their ideologies for over 20 years, vote for them when they stand as an independent on a green platform, buy their music, donate to the organizations they support both with time and money, support them and the organizations they stand for, listen to what they have to say, admire them for their activism and support it, it's a pretty big kick in the teeth to have them then completely change their minds and go with a party simply because they think it will get them further, particularly when you know that their choice has effectively silenced them and got them toeing the party line. Try to think how you'd feel if after all this time Eddie joined the Republicans? I think that would probably cover it for me. :)

    this i did not know:

    When it comes to Queen Latifah, her smash hit, “Ladies First” seems to be approiately fitting doesn’t it? "Latifah" is an Arabic word meaning "delicate and sensitive."
