Musicians who should have died years ago.
I'm gonna say Celine Dion.

2. lol!
I'll have to say Fred Durst. He killed rock and roll. Luckily there are some folks around who are trying to revive it and I think that Fred's career is at least dead.

3. Billy Corgan, Bono, Eddie Vedder
Yeah, we get it, you're self-righteous, self-important, under-talented assholes. Next, please.

5. Nooooo!! Don't kill Eddie Vedder!
He votes Democratic!

Eddie has a relatively small ego for a big time rock star. I dig him as a person if not for his rock and roll prowess. Have you heard their new single "World Wide Suicide?" It might just make protest music popular again.

34. Eddie's okay
but I really don't care for Pearl Jam at all. More hype than talent, IMHO, but I suppose he could be granted a reprieve on principal.

:D

Where's Steve Albini when you need him?

Albini got it right. And history is proving him correct. :D

40. Albini..
.... is worse than all of them put together. If he had talent matching 1% of his ego, he'd be fit to spare :)

43. It ain't what he's done, it's what he says
that rings true. And even Rapeman is STILL twice as good as anything Billy Corgan has done.

44. I find him a tedious..
.. blowhard and his music the musical equivalent of his words. He's so manufactured shocking and indie pretentious it's pathetic. I'd give him a can of kerosene in a second.

As for Billy Corgan, I could care less either way. I have not had the (dis?)pleasure of reading his bloviations, so he might be just as bad. :)

6. The Nuge
Why do most of the shit musicians ( and I use that term sparingly ) live clean lives?

9. So the Nuge could have been a liberal if he had just used heroin?
:7

I think he has the talent to be a great guitarist, but his world view limits him. Have you ever heard "The Great White Buffalo?" I think that's his best song.

39. And more interestingly
he arguably did some of his best stuff when he was under the influence of something. At least, I'm thinking he had to be under the influence of something when he did "Journey to the Center of the Mind." Not that I'm advocating anything, as I'm pretty squeaky clean myself, but it's still interesting...

10. Although I don't like her music
She was wonderful coming out against the Iraq War. I like her for that and this was when it wasn't a popular thing to do. I really admire her.

14. You men those who are defying the grim reaper?
Two come to mind immediately. Keith Richards and Johhny Winter. Those two have seemingly cheated the reaper many times.

16. I think this is more of a 'you wished they'd have gone away early'
but your right about Keith Richards.

42. Iggy Pop and Lou Reed...only because their output has really sucked...
for the last couple of decades or so.
Two one-time certifiable geniuses who are really coasting on reputations

Don't get me wrong, I like them and all, it's just usually when you have habits like they have had you aren't too long for the world.
