So who can put together the best Wrong Un compilation tape?
Probably going to need peodophilia, murder, racism, beastiality and fascism to have any chance of winning.
No doubt there's plenty of the folk who edit MTB vids lurking on here; they generally have a pretty good grasp of music...
That kind of challenge should be right up their street!!

If it means listening to stuff by Jonathan King, Rolf Harris and (urrggh!) the Lost Prophets, I'm out!
But without actually listening to the music, there would be a fantastic list:
Jerry Lee Lewis
Johnny Cash
James Brown
The Who
The Kinks
Gary Glitter
Michael Jackson
The Smiths (I disagree, but they started it)
R Kelly (only Ignition, obv)
50 Cent (dunno what he was in prison for)

Started a Youtube playlist...

I thought Johhny Cash was on the side of the angels? Didn't the white supremacists go after him once?
Jonny cash - bit of a wife beater was he not? Certainly a philanderer.
Not sure about "beater" - I thought he shot her! - or threatened his wife with a gun. Can't find any reference to it, so maybe I made it up !
Certainly a philanderer.
Collecting stamps isn't a crime!
Wow. Didn't know that Eric Gill ****ed everything including his sister, kids and dog.
@malvern rider
He wasn't that bad a painter...
Gaahl and Infernus.
Prison didn't stop him recording.
I have a similar conundrum with the acting of Kevin Spacey....
...But you know turns out he’s a horrible creepy bastard?
You do know the entire case against him collapsed 3 months ago after the "victim's" mother was found to have deleted key text messages?
In December 2018, Spacey was charged with a felony for allegedly sexually assaulting journalist Heather Unruh's 18-year-old son in Nantucket, Massachusetts, in July 2016.[117] Spacey pleaded not guilty to the charge on January 7, 2019.[125][126] Unruh's son told police he was texting with his girlfriend throughout the alleged "groping" incident. Spacey's defense attorneys spent months trying to obtain copies of the texts and the phone itself. In mid-May 2019, her son's personal attorney informed the court that the cell phone in question is "missing".[127] On June 4, 2019, the defense learned that when Unruh gave her son's cell phone to police in 2017, she admitted she had deleted some of the text messages.[127] Later that month, her son filed a lawsuit against Spacey, claiming emotional damages. On July 5, 2019, he voluntarily dismissed the claims with prejudice.[128]
On July 17, 2019, the criminal assault charge against Spacey was dropped by the Cape and Islands prosecutors.[129]
Yep Eric Gill was a firm believer of keeping it in the family!
Wrong is wrong, but what I find difficult at times is the need to go back in history and apply modern values to vilify historical figures, unfortunately stuff we don’t like or do was excepted and in some cases legal until society changed and grew, look forward.
He touched me there by the wrong uns is actually a good album and band name.
Can’t believe James Brown hasn’t been mentioned yet. He’s different from all the others mentioned so far in one way though. He’s not shit. Also (not unlike Sly Stone) his antics are more utterly insane than evil. Funk must **** you up
Ike Turner
Ginger Baker
Waters gets mentioned presumably because of his stance on Palestine and BDS (like Eno). Makes him a bit more of a good'un than Yorke or Rotten who were happy to play for the apartheid state.
As a fan of old skool hip hop, I had a fantastic night listening to DJ Shadow and Cut Chemist playing Afrika Bambaata’s vinyl collection. I even bought the t-shirt with a big Bambaata graphic on it.
Then the news came out about Afrika Bambaata’s activists with young boys. Definitely a wrong ‘un, but absolutely interfaith the history of music I love.
Any mention of Poulton le Fylde's finest yet?
Yorke or Rotten who were happy to play for the apartheid state.
As did The Who and Queen at the peak of it. I shall add these to my playlist. It's an open playlist, so get adding!

Hang on, did they? 'Rise' was an anti-apartheid song, I thought... Anger is an energy.
Can’t believe James Brown hasn’t been mentioned ye
Maybe not in the thread, but he's in the playlist (oh, I listed him in the playlist post too 🙂
Lead Belly murdered a man and got pardoned because he wrote a sweet blues tune. Also served time before that and escaped. Wrong un or badass?
I refuse to listen to R Kelly. Also after the scandal involving little girls.
Its just music, it doesn’t change lives.
I don't quite know how to express my contempt for such cluelessness.

This +1, although some of the wrong 'uns in this thread were wrong then, now and probably forever.
George Washington is a good example of this. Founding father of America etc etc and proud owner and trader of slaves. It doesn't get mentioned that often, but in a histrocial context sort of makes sense.
It doesn’t get mentioned that often,
Probably the most known fact about George Washington after the fact he was first president of the USA.
I only posted the Sex Pistols (John Lydon) in relation to being a "rong'un" by writing and performing Anti Monarchy and Anti Social Behaviour songs/lyrics. At that time most of the establishment thought they were akin to total anarchists who sought to upturn the whole social tier systems in place in the UK in the 70's/80's..
And they did to some degree, and had many supporters of their cause.
Nothing more than that.
So I can continue to play Pretty vacant and Holidays in the Sun then. Holidays in the Sun is a great song with a message about the segregation of the cold war.

What I find difficult is the need to include presidents/politicians/dictators in a thread about music.
Has Lesley Grantham been mentioned? He had a singing career.
I thought Johhny Cash was on the side of the angels?
I’m pretty sure I heard him say he shot a man in Reno, just to watch him die. Man, that’s some cold shit.
I’ve struggled with Richard Hell after starting his autobiography and him pining for BJs from a 15 yo groupie...

Maybe in your world
How about poor Alex Harvey he was Framed
The cops took me to a little room where the bright light shines
There were 10 poor souls like me standin in a line
I knew i was a victim of somebodys evil plan
When a stool pigeon look at me and said there's your man
I never did nothin
Can add Del Shannon, Chuck Berry, didn’t Queen play in South Africa during apartheid?
old skool hip hop,
Oxymoron alert
