pretty good all-overrated list....
Outstanding article.
What about Neil Young and Greg Allman ( Mr Cher).
The author accidentally describes himself in the Frank Zappa write-up “a self-appointed authority figure who did nothing but ceaselessly bitch, piss and moan without ever offering a single solution or so much as an attempt at constructive criticism”
Jerry Garcia a douchebag?
Dude, those are fightin words.
The whole article was made with the mention of how John Lennon dumped a beer on Chris “Let’s Dance” Montez, a former Golden Gloves boxer, who proceeded to whup Lennon’s woman beating ass up one side and down the other.
I made me feel very good to “imagine” that.
What a raving nut.
article is nothing but click bait, and click bait that’s WAY past its expiration date at that.
The author of the article must be one jealous prick-—he should check his mirror for the #1 douche. All 10 on that list had some considerable talents, like them or not and their flaws included which were plenty.
Unless Mother Theresa made an album, you could put every performer on that list at some point in their career. And most of the people on that list did have some point in their career where they did not belong on the list.
I guess it means that it is hard to have money and success and not get your head completely screwed up at some point in your life.
No one is perfect, rock stars even less so.
I have no problem with this guy’s list.
Chris Montez beat up John Lennon, that still has me snickering.
I never did “get” the grateful dead and Garcia’s guitar playing, but I never was a stoner either. I think you had to be stoned to like the Dead. The only one on that list I still listen to is Fogerty in his CCR days.
Chances are, if you're a rock star you probably are a d-bag or an a-hole or a jerk, but there are all kinds of varieties and nuances involved. Some people are genius jerks, with no clue about the existence of other people, and some are just jerks.
Dylan, Lennon, and Reed may be geniuses. Springsteen is just an ego-maniacal jerk. Crosby is just a garden variety slob. Fogarty was an everyday jerk, though he may have come down to earth lately.
But where is Paul McCartney?
Santana should be #1 for his worship of that murdering scumbag Che Guevara.
And where’s Jackson Browne for beating up Darryl Hannah?
Totally...
Zappa was a genius. The author is a bigger DB than anyone one the list.
This is satire. All on the list are great musicians and performers I have much respect for.
The one on that list that I really hate.... Bruce Springsteen. REALLY HATE all his so called music.
When anyone refers to him as “the boss” it turns my stomach.
