Who was the first "no-talent" rock star?

[i]Nope, he's no relative. But I am under forty. So I guess anything before the 70's is shit because anybody under 40 hasn't heard of it. I guess Glenn Miller was a wanker too. As was Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole.... Need I go on?[/i] Let me try to be more clear cuz you seem so damned focused on this "one-hit wonder" terminology. You seem to liken the word "one-hit wonder" to me calling him a piece of sh*t maggot weasil toad. I DID NOT say Bobby Darin was a piece of sh*t maggot weasil toad. I said he is a one-hit wonder. Initially a broad term when I said it - he maybe had 2 hits - but he certainly was not a "heavy" in the history of contemporary music. I'm not going to say you're a psychopath, but how you can absolutely freak the hell out over this "one-hit wonder" terminology...TAKE that and extrapolate me not liking Bobby Darin for this ... [i]So I guess anything before the 70's is shit because anybody under 40 hasn't heard of it. I guess Glenn Miller was a wanker too. As was Louis Armstrong, Nat King Cole....[/i] Is, to me, the sign of somebody being mentally unbalanced or it's somebody "taking the piss" with me. Gotta be. About 95% of all the music I love is pre-70's. Miller, Armstrong & Nat King Cole are all musically brilliant. It's almost comedic really. :D It's like me going to a woman and saying to her "well, I don't really care for your blouse color there" ........ and she hears that as "WHAT? you think I'm ugly, curse my family and wish I was dead?" I mean the exaggeration is beyond the normal boundaries of sanity. :D

I'm kinda surprised I haven't seen the name Jim Morrison pop up yet. bob

Ok, the earliest no talent band I ever saw was VELVET UNDERGROUND. Their recordings didn't do them justice, they were much worse live.

And you pulled the age thing into it. I really didn't mean to go off on a rant, but I don't think someone like Bobby Darrin should not be heaped onto the pile of one hit-wonder record company inventions. That's all.

He changed it to avoid confusion with Davy Jones of the Monkees, so I don't think he ever auditioned for them. I've heard the Hendrix story though. I was told the Monkees loved him, but the Monkees fans...not so much. Who'da thunk? ;)

oops!

Jim Morrison? You know what? You're right, he had almost no talent what so ever. The Archies are another good one. No one said Kurt Cobain and he deserves a few votes as well. Iaian
