No Styx repudiates this list. The huge ego of DDY was the downfall of this once great band. He wanted a Broadway type show of a band that no one else in the band ever said that they wanted.

Don’t feel too bad for Scott Stapp even his fans can’t remember the lyrics to their songs, because in all honesty they weren’t that good. Other than My Own Prison

Pete Best seemed to be from a different part of Liverpool as his accent sounded more traditional “scouce”

Badfinger is the Band I liked the Best in your list. 😢the Tragedy of the underbelly of the Music Business contributed to the Suicide’s of Two of their Members. 😡 Pete Ham was such a Talent! Tom Evans co-wrote “Without You!” The royalties were not properly distributed…😡 RIP ❤

Creedence Clearwater Revival bristled under John Fogerty's dictatorial rule which got John Fogerty's brother Tom to quit the band and the band to break up in 1972…never yet to reunite.

Man I absolutely LIVE for punk and the sex pistols were one of the first bands that got me into the "f*ck off and stop taking yourself so serious" attitude of punk in the first place, but john has been unhappy and mad at the sex pistols for decades yet NOTHING hes done since and especially not with PIL has been even half decent, not to mention he meets the criteria for half the shit he complains about nowadays anyhow 😂

Steve Perry in Journey made some bad business decisions but he really burned out! They fought like cats and dogs. Perry claimed he, "Never really felt he belonged." He was the front man and key writing contributor. I guess Neil Schon is no picnic however. He and Keyboardist Jonathan Caine are suing each other now. Schon isn't the greatest guy in the world.

For the first five or six, who gives a shit, I hate their noise (I refuse to call it music). They all sound depressingly identical.
For the Eagles, it is inflammatory to say they all hated Randy Meisner. If anyone is to be singled out, it should be Glenn Frey. He was abusive of both Meisner and Felder, and together with Henley they tried to force the other two. I have a lot of empathy for Meisner, who was previously mistreated by another super-ego, Richie Furay, while with Poco. Furay was still smarting from his inability to subjugate Neil Young in Buffalo Springfield, so he found a lesser demon to wrestle with.
Fleetwood Mac: Lindsay Buckingham was their creative centre. No one would argue that. Compare the band to before and after he joined them. And to be fair, I think they largely all hated each other equally in turns.
Pink Floyd: again, unfair to lay it all at the feet of Roger Waters. A massive ego, to be sure, but no less than David Gilmour, who even got his wife into the act of maligning Waters.
The Beatles: this one is egregious. Have you no shame or professional standards at all?!? Pete Best was the source of some jealousy on the part of the others, mostly because of his popularity with the ladies, and he refused to dress like the others, but the decision to replace arose at the insistence from George Martin, who flatly stated he was not a good enough drummer. History has proven Martin prophetic in this regard.
And how in hell did you miss Deep Purple here, vis a vis Ritchie Blackmore?!? The guitar god was soundly resented by almost everyone he ever worked with, but nothing like what the members of Deep Purple went through. To their credit, they have resisted badmouthing him (with the exception of Ian Gillan) out of respect for his talent. Just have a look at all the musicians he fired in his career. Strangely enough, his devotion to current wife Candice Night is bewildering… Your omission here is just one more instance where Deep Purple have been marginalized by the music press throughout history. They are easily as important as their usual nemeses Led Zeppelin and Black Sabbath, yet they have been personae-non-grata most of their careers.

#1 should have been Guns ‘N Roses, and it isn’t particularly close. All of the other original members had either quit or been fired by Axl Rose by the mid-1990s, and then multiple new casts had done the same up to and after the release of Chinese Democracy in 2008. It wasn’t until Axl finally reconciled with Slash and Duff that the band found secure footing again, robbing us of a musical legacy that could have carried the torch from The Rolling Stones.

Not a band but Yanou and Manian of Cascada stated that Natalie Horler was a standoffish self-centered diva. She had only gotten worse as time went on which led to their emancipation from Cascada in 2022.

Oh, The Libertines. They would have been bigger had Pete Doherty not developed a nasty heroin addict. That record they put out last year is actually quite good.
