Apart from Yoko Ono (who most critics don't even consider as important OR bad) there is no remotely tough target on the entire list. Most of the albums would be rejected offhand by almost every critic.
So much of Maxim's list consists of the most routine targets of the rock critics - Milli Vanilli, Hanson, Air Supply (#10 on Blender's "50 Worst Artists Of All Time"), Ricky Martin, Debbie Gibson, Tiffany. The albums by Dylan, the Stones and R.E.M. date from after they "sold out" or lost relevance.
Many critics really don't see grunge as actually relevent nowadays, so Pearl Jam is no tough target either.
Though he really does not attack tough targets, the intelligent amateur "janitor-x" (see "http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/cm/member-glance/-/A2AXIWOCL9XOMM/ref=cm_aya_ac_longdesc/102-0267016-6736903?see-more-desc=1") does realise how irrelevant people today understand these super-soft targets of Blender and Maxim to be. "janitor-x" believes the idolisation of the 1960s to be quite unrealistic and a betrayal of the roots of rock music. For him, the worst artists ever are U2, the Beatles, the Cure, R.E.M. (all eras), Rage Against The Machine, the Smiths, the Clash and Pavement. His views on music might be seen as rather narrow, but his intellignce betrays popular assumptions about metals fans - for one thing.

All this talk about Conor Oberst upthread. That’s someone who fits the “Whose artistic legacies have declined in the past ten years?” thread like a glove.
