and why?

e.g - ja rule because of that poster on all the london underground where hes trying to look all mean and moody and angry and pissed off but instead he just looks pretty constipated. and because hes ridiculous.

It's nice to have ridiculous figures in pop.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 14:07 (twenty-one years ago)

but hes not ridiculously good.

I had forgotten all about Korn.

Steve that's the best down the dumper list I think I've seen.

― Tim Finney (Tim Finney), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 14:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Also - Gomez? This is surely like pissing on a dead man's head?

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 14:26 (twenty-one years ago)

N.B. I have never done this.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 14:26 (twenty-one years ago)

Flaming Lips still function properly! Do not be so hasty in your dumpercizing!

― nickalicious (nickalicious), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 14:28 (twenty-one years ago)

That list is mostly wishful thinking.

Poor Nelly F tho, 'Powerless' was strangely charming, bloody handclaps

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 14:29 (twenty-one years ago)

also the mention of More Fire Crew was just because a) do they still exist? and b) have they put anything out in the last 18 months? and c) is it as good as 'Oi' or 'Lock Down'??

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 14:30 (twenty-one years ago)

Hasn't Gareth Gates already been dropped?

A crucial omission from your list - EMBRACE.

Embrace - They climbed out.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 14:35 (twenty-one years ago)

PUSH THEM BACK IN

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 14:36 (twenty-one years ago)

You work it out.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 14:36 (twenty-one years ago)

Sorry, who deserves not who will. My bad.

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 14:37 (twenty-one years ago)

deserves/will, its all relative.

― titchyschneider (titchyschneider), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

Wot no Maroon 5?

Gwen Stefani, for the fifth year running.

― Andrew Farrell (afarrell), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:03 (twenty-one years ago)

The dumper is too good for Stefani, Andrew.

― 3underscore (___), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:04 (twenty-one years ago)

the Dumper is not for people who are at the height of their popularity

― Frankenstein On Ice (blueski), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I could live with it if I knew it was the height of their popularity. I just fear it may not be the case!

― 3underscore (___), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:24 (twenty-one years ago)

Good Charlotte
Simple Plan
FeFe Dobson (irritating Canuck Avril-ette)
Any act that features Amy Lee's musical theatre warbling
Hoobastank
Fatboy Slim (sorry, Norman, but "Slash Dot Dash" isn't funny. Get Beats International back together and write some fucking songs again.)

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Bono
Bob Geldof

please fuck off the pair of ya.

― The Lex (The Lex), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 15:48 (twenty-one years ago)

Fefe Dobson? Oh yes!

Also anyone who goes off and has an identikit neptunes production number as if we havent heard it a million times.

did the Flaming Lips release something dissapointing that I didn't hear about?

Although I suspect he's already been dumped: Badly Drawn Boy

Also: Mos Def, Talib Kweli, Method Man

― Space Is the Place (Space Is the Place), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 19:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Fefe Dobson? Oh yes!

I feel embarrassed for her because she seems to have been shoehorned into the whole schtick. I'm all for manufactured pop, but the participants have to be willing to go along for the ride. Avril was, Fefe isn't.

― Tantrum The Cat (Tantrum The Cat), Wednesday, 1 December 2004 20:22 (twenty-one years ago)

I heart Stevem's list. The enduring usage of the phrase "down the dumper" is heartwarming too...
