Do you ever wonder?

Do you ever wonder why some artists (individuals or groups) attain success through critical acclaim and/or record (cd) sales?

Here is my list of those who have made it in the recording/entertainment industries and is completely puzzling to me.

Please list your own; it's irrelevant what you think of mine.

OK, here you go (in no particular order):

Sheryl Crow
Norah Jones
Michael Bolton
Celine Dion
Joe Cocker
Manhattan Transfer
Boston
Rickie Lee Jones
Pink
Phil Collins

That's enough to get started; show me what you got.

Thanks to all of you who mentioned U2. Somebody gave me the
U2:Go Home double disc CD for my birthday. It was awful.
My contribution would have to be Keiko Matsui.

Coldplay...good but not that good. Just about anything out today in pop music or should I say poop music. Barry Manilow, BeeGees, and just about every country artist out there. Too many to list.
