Last week Townsman patrock passed along the following piece on 10 Total Tyrants from the History of Rock ‘n Roll. The #1 tyrant is a good leftfield choice. Check it out! You’ll also see a photo of a tyrant that would be deemed too scary to show in even the grossest slasher film.

What Total Rock Tyrant do you feel is missing from this list? What’s your favorite (or least favorite) tale of rock tyranny? Have you ever performed or been victim of an act of rock tyranny?

Aesthetically speaking, what’s your stance on the value of tyranny in rock? This probably won’t shock longtime readers, but I think it has its place.
