Worst band ever: REM or Chili Peppers?

If nothing else, Jon Bon Guido's reedy thin guido voice delivered in his "guido stylings" manner when attempting to sing "Born to Run" with Springsteen during the Sandy concert at MSG was just another stark reminder of this guido poseur's real core (and lack of true rock chops). The clown's a pop poseur in rock clothing plain and simple. Another example of "pop star passing himself off in rock star clothing" (and who would get so ticked off at the NYT music critics for mentioning it) is Billy "Angry Young Man" Joel. Speaking of Billy Joel:

Q: What's the difference between Billy Joel and the band Great White?

A: We Didn't Start the Fire

*gulp*

No, no. I understand why you dislike him and the band, obviously. I know they suck too. But I never think about them or post about them. Yet you seem to mention him on a regular basis over the years, and at least twice in this thread, and I'm wondering why.

I mean, lots of artists suck. So my question for you is, how did Bon Jovi come to occupy this special place in your imagination, your favorite whipping boy for all things rock and pop-related? Is there some sort of interesting backstory to this, some personal connection perhaps?

But 'We got it goin' on'. He sang so himself.
