In votes by Blender magazine, Sweet Baby James has been named the most awesomely wimpy musician of all time. The mag placed the 60s-70s folk singer at the top, stating James Taylor single-handedly initiated "an era of confessional, listen-to-my-troubles singer/songwriters and turned self-examination into a hallmark of the baby-boom generation." Or words to that effect.
No doubt, Taylor singing things like "How Sweet it is to be loved by you," are too sacharrine to be ignored.
And no surprise here - Nick Lachey was picked by Blender because his new album, 'What's Left Of Me' -- which details his split and divorce from Jessica Simpson -- "wallows in so much misery and self-pity it makes Morrissey sound like the Pussycat Dolls."
"From soft-rock mewlers to preachy vegans to just plain wedgie-deservers, Blender salutes the most awesomely wimpy musicians of all time." And the top of the top 25 list is:
1. James Taylor
2. Nick Lachey
3. Dan Folgelberg
4. Boyz II Men
5. Peter Cetera
6. Kenny G
7. Rascal Flatts
8. Babyface
9. Chris Martin
Also getting honorable mentions: Everyone in N-Sync (except Justin Timberlake), Paul McCartney, Garth Brooks, Metallica, and Taylor Hicks.
