I'll cast my vote for Guns N' Roses (or, at least, the current incarnation of it). When Axl and company appeared on the 2002 MTV Awards, it was intended to be a rebirth of the band. It was clear that he was not only performing to an audience that wasn't that into it, but that he wasn't able to hit the notes that he once was. He had eroded from the world's biggest rock star into a parody of a rock star.
GNR had their window. Without a doubt, they were at one time, the most popular band in the world, and Axl pissed it away. Twice. Most people don't get even one shot in life at the brass ring. Axl had two; he blew them both.
Your thoughts on my rant, or your own contributions are welcome.
