Listened to Billie Jean while cleaning, wondered what the all time playlist might be.

I imagine Kanye, Clapton, Pink Floyd, James Brown, Ike Turner all make the cut with MJ but I’m curious what Lemmy comes up with!

    Definitely Chris Brown. Also, the rapper who continued his concert while people suffocated to death in the crowd. I forgot his name.

      Roger Waters is a conservative antisemitic shitass, the rest are cool as far as I’m aware. I certainly havent let it stop me from enjoying pink floyd, though I have more trouble separating the art from the artist in other situations (lookin at you JK Rowling)

        Conservative? I think you should check your own ass for shit since you’ve got it exactly backward.

        Conservative? Last concert I saw with him he was liberal AF. On what do you base his conservatism?

        PF (Gilmour et al) is conservative enough…rich old white dudes.

    Sinead O’Connor got cancelled for ripping up a photo of the pope. The a wave of paedophile priest accusations hit and hasn’t really stopped since.

    Austrian Death Machine. The singer (Tim Lambesis) tried to hire a hitman to murder his wife.

    Iced Earth: the lead guitarist (Jon Schaeffer) is a founding member of a right wing militia group and participated in the 2021 storming of the US Capitol.

    Edit: Gotta add Morrissey/the Smiths too

          Ooh where to begin? They used to play with impaled animal heads on the stage, Dead used to cut himself whilst performing, then when he killed himself with a shotgun, Euronymous’s first reaction was to rearrange his body and take a picture, which was used as the cover to a bootleg, he also made necklaces out of fragments of Dead’s skull, and sold other fragments. Varg (the same Varg from Burzum) is a neonazi and burnt down at least one church, reportedly with Euronymous. Varg also murdered Euronymous as he believed Euronymous wanted to kill him. You’ll struggle to find a more messed up band

            Yeah, all that is messed up, but to me Mayhem is the current lineup with Necrobutcher and Attila. I hope those guys didn’t do anything wrong, I just went to Mayhem concert last September.

              They seem alright now, and Necrobutcher was disgusted by Euronymous’ response to Dead’s suicide and left the band over it if I recall correctly

    I still listen to Stone Temple Pilots and Red Hot Chili Peppers

    EDIT: oops, i’m tired and may have misread what OP posted. are we supposed to naming the worst POS musicians out there? Because if so, R Kelly should be on the list
