Guess Who's Still Alive, Part III

Here's who's sitting comfortably in Amazon's Top 25:

• James Taylor and Carol King (Hope she knows how to duck)
• Natalie Merchant (Never have so many bought so much for 10,000 Maniacs)
• The Cast of Glee (four, count 'em, FOUR discs in the top 25. I can't imagine something I'd be less likely to buy)
• The New Pornographers (who rely on close readings of smut, irrespective of authorial intent)
• Melissa Etheridge ("Fearless Love," eh? I wonder what that refers to...)
• The Deftones (Music by 2001. Album Cover by 1986.)
• Toni Braxton (answering the long-asked equation: Whitney Houston - Amy Winehouse + Mariah Carey - Anyone interesting = ? )
• Godsmack (never understood whether God is doing the smacking or being smacked. I suspect both.)
• The Rolling Stones (with an album that was first released in 1972, and is not actually available for another two weeks. Whoever negotiated their deal with the Devil earned a bonus.)
• Sade (Throw it)
