    Michael Bolton, "that no-talent assclown," according to the character of the same name in "Office Space."
    "Why don't you change your name?"
    "Why should I change? He's the one who sucks."

    The guy was right. Bolton butchered a great song. Actually he butchers anyone he sings.

    The only good thing about Bolton butchering that song was that Sledge, or whoever wrote it, got a big payday.

    At the risk of going all Casey Kasem, he actually had four records that charted Top 20 on Billboard. They were "Warm And Tender Love," (No. 17) and "It Tears Me Up" (No. 20) in 1966, and "Take Time To Know Her," (No. 11) in 1968.

    Nevertheless, it was basically "When A Man Loves A Woman" that got him a spot in the Jann Wenner Hall of Fame in 2005.

    Now back to the countdown....
