I like New Age music, but voted for Easy Listening as the worst, just over Rap. What's rap? Someone talking over samples of someone else's music. (To be fair to rap music lovers, I do like some rap stuff when they create their own music, rather than just sample.)

What's easy listening? Someone taking someone else's music and removing the singer's voice. Here's the difference between new age and easy listening: New Age has Enya's "Ornioco Flow"; Easy Listening has Enya's "Ornioco Flow" with her voice replaced with a flute. A travesty!
