Posted on 03.19.08 by hardrockchick @ 12:40 pm

Brilliant, self-destructive, esoteric, wacky…all good descriptors of the following:

1. Anton Newcombe/Brian Jonestown Massacre

45% genius/55% insanity

2. Wayne Coyne/The Flaming Lips

75% genius/25% insanity

3. Tom Waits

80% genius/20% insanity

4. Frank Zappa

50% genius/50% insanity

5. Ted Nugent
20% genius/80% insanity (and counting)
