Prince the #2 rock rogue

Keith Moon Named Greatest Rock Rogue
Dec 31, 10:49 AM EST

He wasn't called Moon the Loon for nothing.

The late Who drummer Keith Moon, famed for trashing drum kits, cars and hotel rooms, topped a list of the "100 most insane moments in rock" released this week by British music magazine Q.

Moon, who died from an overdose of prescription drugs in 1978, was singled out for a life of excess that included countless drug-fueled brawls, a food fight with police in Flint, Michigan and an impromptu fireworks display on a U.S. television show.

The quirky list, chosen by magazine staff, ranges from famously volatile stars such as Marilyn Manson, Courtney Love and Eminem to Bob Dylan, who was included due to an alleged fondness for British motorway service stations; country legend George Jones, who once drove a lawnmower down a freeway; and Elton John, who spent almost 300,000 pounds (US$500,000) on flowers in less than two years.

The Top 10:

1. Keith Moon

2. Prince — proselytizes door-to-door for Jehovah's Witnesses

3. Marilyn Manson — covers fan in meat

4. Michael Jackson — puts curse on Steven Spielberg

5. Elvis Presley — flies 879 miles (1415 kilometers) for peanut butter and bacon sandwiches

6. Mayhem — Norwegian band's bassist kills guitarist

7. Courtney Love — lies down semi-naked in London street

8. Marion "Suge" Knight — career of oft-jailed rap impresario

9. Whitney Houston and Bobby Brown — troubled marriage

10. Freddie Mercury — Queen frontman's backstage antics

I dont think that position is accurate, he is much less worse than other stars as he tends to shun excess and attention seeking stunts now.
