people with no musical talent from:

the millenium: brittney spears, backstreet boys, christina agulare

the 90s: vanilla ice, mc hammer, bloodhound gang

the 80s: menudo, tiffany, new kids on the block

the 70s: ramones, sex pistols, PiL

and you could go on and on. my point is that there are musicians getting famous based on personality alone at ANY point in history. this is not necessarily a bad thing, since the primary purpose for most of these musicians is to ENTERTAIN...
