Who's your favorite "Fucked Up", "Stoned Out" "Totally Wasted" songwriter?

While all of these are obviously strictly opinion (best ever etc. etc), I would, as my opinion has it, place Kurt Cobain at the top. I believe when people say he's overrated it's because they don't understand him and aren't on his level of intellect.. And yes, that will start a fire, but I believe you have to have intellect to understand intellect. Kurt was a fucking genius in every aspect of the word. Look at his journals. His writing, his speaking. It's the grammar, the continuity, the depth of his conversations that allows me to continue to say "wow". He wasn't a degraded junkie; rather an enlightened junkie. He was a smart, whole-hearted person on the inside, and he sang straight from the fucking soul. That's what I miss anymore, the passion. Kurt had it in his lyrics, music, and general life. Of course, my opinion.
 
No, but I do consider myself educated. And I knew somebody would totally overlook what the fuck I was trying to say. Love this world, fucking love this world.
 
As I can't say me - cos I'm now clean - I'd say John Frusciante, of Red Hot Chili Peppers wins hands down. Check him out at

and work through the six episodes, you'll be glad you did. He also has a short film called "Stuff" but I have never met ANYONE who can sit through more than a minute of it. :-)
btw. Frank Zappa strictly prohibited anyone in his band using drugs.

he did drugs???

No, he didn't. John Frusciante auditioned for his band, but had to drop out due to the 'Strictly NO DRUGS.' policy. Mind you, it turned out just fine for him, as he joined Red Hot Chili Peppers.

recently been getting into Spiritualized... J. Spaceman definitely qualifies for this thread - seems like every song he writes has at least like one drug reference.

hey man, there's a hole in my arm where all the money goes
Jesus Christ died for nothin', I suppose

looking through this thread, I wonder which drugs certain musicians mentioned use. I always wonder which drugs influenced the creation of which music.
 
Nobody's mentioned ozzy???

Can't believe no one has mentioned Ozzy

Lou Reed is way up there.
I personally like Dax Riggs.
And lets not forget GG allin-though not my favorite probably the most fucked up.

And WTF? Where has Bradley Nowell been throughout this thread????

Bradley Nowell was mentioned a bunch.

Ahh guess thats what I get for skimming too quick.
Yeh now that I went back and looked more I see Bradley and Ozzy were both mentioned a couple times.
