16 Celebrity Drug Overdoses We Should Have Seen Coming

In light of Corey Haim's recent (apparent) drug overdose, here's a list of 16 drug-induced celebrity overdose deaths that, given the star's lifestyle and behavior, we should have seen coming. Celebrities overdose more often that we'd like them to, but this list should at least warn us of what we should've seen coming. Video news reports and family/friend stories included next to each celebrity when available.

Top 500 Musical Groups/Artists of Alltime

Top 500 Rock Bands isn't 100% accurate as this includes solo artists, and though it does not include jazz or blues it does include soul, R&B, Americana, reggae, and classic country (yes, that is somewhat arbitrary, but for whatever reason i listen to blues and jazz differently than the rest, and would be too hard to compare Miles or Ornette or Hooker to, say, Aerosmith). Criteria for my greatest bands of all time list is a combination of recorded albums, live shows I've seen, live recordings I've heard, radio songs, and even overall image/album covers/general coolness or uniqueness. I guess that was a way of trying to explain that the ranking is just a gut feeling. But it's probably about 50% based on "live chops", hence the lower ranking of the Beatles, who quit playing live before the most creative parts of their career. I am very into live shows and live recordings.
Obviously, this list will change over time. I'm adding commentary to items whenever i get a spare minute or something interesting comes to mind about a band, probably 10-20 entries a month.

My Top 100 Musical Artists

I was inspired by, and took most of my entries from, Clark Benson's list of 500, but he didn't have enough female artists for my tastes, nor did he have them rated highly enough. He excluded Blues and Jazz (except he has some artists who could be classified as Blues or Jazz on his list), so I did, too. However, I clearly like hip hop more than he does, so I had to add more of that, too. I haven't ranked the artists, and the list is in very rough order, because I'm new at this whole thing.

On the Cover of the Rolling Stone, it may be a pipe dream from a song for many, but the celebrities on this list made the dream of being on Rolling Stone's cover a reality. Rolling Stone cover subjects are often the most famous celebrities and people of their era. President, actors, musicians, and even cartoon character have found a home as the subjects of a cover story in Rolling Stone magazine.
