Who would you say treats their fans the best/worst?

Any suggestions and examples?

simply put, those that realize they are lucky to have people willing to suport them are the best.

those that think their shit so sweet it doesn't stink and thus people want to get with it, are the worst.
News: Prince pulls his head out his ass in the last moment.
Bad News: Prince wasted too much quality time doing so.
You have those internalized issues because you want to, you like to, stop.

U2 usually treats their fans really well; this past fall I paid 55 bucks for front row seats to their show. When the pre-sales got screwed up, the band used their Grammy acceptance speech to apologize to the fans that were affected. The band is also known to give fans special previews of their material before it hits stores.

I heard on the radio that Madonna canceled her tour in Australia because wanted to take her children with her but they had to stay in school.

Also she apologized for not being able to come to Australia "because of logistics",many artists don't.

She's ignored them for how many tours in a row, now? As DavidEye said, it should not have been a problem to schedule dates ahead of time and plan everything out. It's such a cop-out on her part.

1) I have yet to hear of ANY other artist who does aftershows, and publicizes them, as Prince does. You have more opportunities to see him, then you do any other artist, when he tours

2) Most bands when successful let the success go to their heads, and they forget their fans. I say most, not all

The BEST: Ben Harper. This man can talk for hours after a gig with his supporters. He is so down to earth. I love his energy.

The WORST: I can't say. Okay, it was Prince when he had his bodyguard twist my arm behind my back for invading his space at Paisley Park. Of course, I told him while still trussed up by Aaron, "If it weren't for people like me, you would be a one hit 'Soft and Wet' wonder." After that worst incident, Prince apologized through his actions by putting me in videos and pulling me on stage to dance with him. It's all good between Prince and me.

In her autobiography, Tori Amos talks about her father, a minister, as this special person who could be present and available for anyone in need. Whether they were sick or in mourning, he would go to their side. She said she learned from him how to do this, and that she takes this role with her fans. On whatever terms they need her to be, she is there. (She always does meet and greets before her shows) She takes this attitude very seriously.

I'd say MARIAH treats her fans real well.
tho' I battled blind
love is a fate resigned
memories mar my mind
love it is a fate resigned

Over futile odds
and laughed at by the Gods
and now the final frame
Love is a losing game
