Remember the olden days when only the rebellious rock stars used to party hard, do drugs, and drink themselves stupid? It was all part of the show back then, so much so that when they were rushed to the hospital for an OD or crashed while driving drunk, no one was really surprised. Now it seems to be the trend for all kinds of celebrities. Spinner takes a walk down memory lane, counting down the worst "party" offenders in the music business. At first I thought they were sticking to hardcore rockers, but they included Britney. So where is Elvis on the list? Was his drug and alcohol use just "classier" than the rest? Who else are they missing?

1. There are plenty that spring to mind who could be on the list (Alice Cooper, Ryan Adams, Oasis, Steve Earle, Lynyrd Skynyrd) but the only one I'm really surprised they left off was Guns & Roses.

2. Belushi, Farley, Steinbeck, Shepard, Owen Wilson, the sixth grade class in about 50% of school municipalities across the country...?

3. I think Spinner was looking at just "rock stars" though, as I noted, Britney should not have made the list in that case.

4. Was the partying that GNR did highly publicized? I assumed they did drugs and drinking given how they look, but I don't remember hearing stories the way I did about some of the other rockers on the list (see: C. Love).
