Playing the Villain

Pop Culture

It&#39;s hard to make a name for yourself in the music business, so those who do it deserve respect. Deserving of even more respect are established musicians who go on to make it in the acting field, as well. Singers have been trying to make that transition since the dawn of cinema, with some doing it much more successfully than others. Barbra Streisand? Major success. Vanilla Ice? Not so much. A lucky few have not only made it, but also triumphantly done one&nbsp;of the most difficult things to do:&nbsp;play a credible villain.

The following musicians have all surprised and delighted audiences by <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/villains-played-by-comedians/anncasano" target="_blank">making us forget the personas</a>&nbsp;by which we primarily know them, and making us believe them as bad guys. They come from multiple genres&nbsp;of music, including rock, hip-hop, country, and pop. Nailing&nbsp;a role as a musician would have been easy for any of them. Nailing&nbsp;a villainous role was much trickier. They reached into their respective bags of tricks to get audiences booing and hissing at&nbsp;their on-screen malice.

Which of these musicians who played movie villains best&nbsp;nailed their performance? Your votes will decide.

Though their popularity has waned in recent years, there still is nothing quite like <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" href="https://www.ranker.com/list/movies-with-great-amazing-soundtracks/alyssa-mariano">a solid movie soundtrack</a>. Back in the 1980s and 1990s, major Hollywood movie soundtracks were all the rage. Simply put, if your movie was going to be a success, it needed to have a big-time single and a full soundtrack of crossover hits to go with it.What would the legacy of Batman Forever and Armageddon look like without the power ballad mastery of “Kiss from a Rose” and “I Don't Want To Miss A Thing"? A Night at the Roxbury basically can't even exist without Haddaway's “What Is Love.” And is there anything more quintessentially ‘90s than Vanilla Ice’s “Ninja Rap” from Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze? The answer is no. No, there isn't.

When David Bowie and Freddie Mercury came together to record &quot;Under Pressure&quot; in 1981, the result was one of the best duets of all time. Though the&nbsp;recording process managed to unite some of the most prolific musical geniuses of the 20th century, creating the masterpiece was no simple task.

&quot;Under Pressure&quot; was a song that, like its namesake implies, was produced under pressure. Performed alongside Queen creative masterpieces like &quot;<a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/behind-the-scenes-recording-bohemian-rhapsody/melissa-sartore" target="_blank">Bohemian Rhapsody</a>,&quot; the song became a staple at concerts and appeared on Queen and <a href="https://www.ranker.com/list/david-bowie-facts/jacob-shelton" target="_blank">Bowie</a> albums alike.

For some bands, a debut album may be their best work or even their only work. More than a few break up after their first effort. For many others, it may be their best work and they may end up being <a href="/list/greatest-songs-by-one-hit-wonders/ranker-music">one-hit wonders</a>.
