8. Dee Snider of Twisted Sister Sucks




This talentless hack lucked up and got a spot on That Metal Show. Claiming to be a Led Zeppelin fan, he was asked to rank Led zeppelin's albums from his favorite to his least favorite. Immediately, this fool jumped up, went over to the records and threw "In Through The Out Door" and "Coda" on the floor as though they were worthless garbage. How disrespectful. If he didn't like them, he could have simply put them last on the rack, not toss them to the ground. Even if he hated the music, there are many of us that like those records. It's just flat out rude and thoughtless to go on TV and throw Led Zeppelin records on the floor. It was very disrespectful to Led Zeppelin. They are the second biggest selling band in history. They had a short career, a little over a decade and would eventually sell over 110,000,000 records. Snider made out like some Led Zeppelin records are bad. There are no bad Led Zeppelin records.

I'm sure that we can all agree that the Hipgnosis packaging of "In Through The Out Door" was an artistic achievement.  The six different album covers all from different angles of the same scene. The black and white inner sleeve would become colored when wet. All of this in a brown paper bag. Genius artwork, and Snider throws it on the ground. What an asshole.

Dee Snider sucks.
