-- Whitney ''Crack Is Wack'' Houston should worry less about the quality of her drugs and more about the quality of her music.
-- Sweden, land of media-hogging bands such as the Soundtrack of Our Lives and the Hives, should stop dominating the alt-rock buzz bin. Finland is getting jealous.
-- The programming-challenged VH1 should make more wise decisions like canceling ''Liza & David'' before it even aired.
-- 2Pac, wherever he is, should stop releasing albums. You're freaking us out, man.
-- Some enterprising TV network should do us all a favor and give Kid Rock a talk show.
-- The Band-Aid company should get Nelly on board as a company spokesman.
-- MTV's ''The Real World'' producers should cast one ugly roommate. And if they're really ready to abandon the formula, maybe a smart one, too.
--The industry should implement a per-minute fine for every CD that exceeds 70 minutes, thus sparing us more padded double discs.
-- Label execs should give Afro-bohemia (think India.Arie, Cody ChesnuTT, Beyoncé's brief pseudo-'70s frizz) the nurturing it deserves. Isn't it about time for a new urban trend?
-- Somebody should get Damon Albarn's Gorillaz their own TV show. There hasn't been a funkier, quirkier animated band since the Jackson 5 turned 'toon.
-- Bizzers should learn the difference between ''punk'' and punks who act like they know what the term means (think Avril Lavigne, Sum 41, Good Charlotte, etc.).
-- Labels should continue marking down CD prices.
-- Alan ''I Don't Know the Difference Between Iraq and Iran'' Jackson should bone up on his geography.
-- Ryan Adams should write 12 first-rate songs instead of 125 mediocre ones.
-- Christina Aguilera should wear pants once in a while.
