The Druggiest Rock Stars of All Time
Rock stars and drugs go together like football and beer: you could have one without the other and it would still be fun, but you would sense that something was missing. And in the world of rock and roll, musicians being whacked out on drugs and alcohol can be pretty entertaining (right up until they OD, of course. RIP).

This list of rock stars who used drugs was inspired by an article in the OC Weekly that chronicled the six druggiest rock stars of all time, but since we go big at Ranker, we added a few more to the mix. Because honestly, one thing the music world isn't lacking are train wrecks who drink and do drugs.

If you can think of other rock stars that deserve to be on the list that didn't make it in the first wave of qualifications (which basically consist of the ability to frighten one of the nurses at Promises upon checking into rehab), add them. But heed the criteria that your rock star must have a splendid past with drugs.

If you're looking for inspiration in the drugs and rock & roll arena (we'll assume the rest of the Internet can cover the "sex" part), the list of rock stars who have aged the worst is an excellent way to make you feel better about those gray hairs you've been denying. And if you're wondering what's to come of these miscreants of the mic after the drugs have run their course, there's the list of celebrity ODs we should have seen coming.

The Most Interesting Star Trek Characters
Favorite Star Trek characters from throughout the history of the Star Trek franchise of the sci-fi show. This list gathers the best, most interesting characters from Star Trek, including all the Star Trek TV series, Star Trek films and associated media. The list order is determined by fielding suggestions from Ranker users for Star Trek characters, and then open voting for which characters are the absolute best.

Widely regarded as the greatest sci-fi TV series of all time, the original Star Trek debuted on September 8, 1966 (after an initial pilot which didn't feature series regular William Shatner.) The show initially performed well in the ratings, but dropped off strongly in the first season. It was eventually cancelled during its third season. However, the show's cult status and passionate fanbase transformed it into one of the most famous and iconic TV and film series of all time. There have since been numerous spin-off shows (including Star Trek: The Next Generation, Deep Space Nine, and Star Trek: Voyager.) Star Trek characters also spawned multiple film franchises. In addition to the films starring the original cast, and the group of films featuring Star Trek: The Next Generation characters, J.J. Abrams's 2009 reboot introduced a parallel Star Trek universe populated by new actors playing the classic heroes.

If your favorite Star Trek characters names aren't listed, be sure to add them and rerank the list. Also remember to vote for the overall best characters from Star Trek so they rise up the list. Oh, yeah, and live long and prosper. 

What are the best Star Trek characters? Take a look at this list of Star Trek characters (with pictures) and see for yourself.

The Best Quarterbacks of All Time
This list of the greatest quarterbacks of all time only includes the best NFLquarterbacks to ever play professional football. Who are the best quarterbacks of all time? That is a question that experts have been tackling since the NFL first started in the 1920s. Defining who the best quarterback of all time is isn't easy since every fan has a different criteria that defines who is the best NFL quarterback. If you like championships, then quarterbacks like Joe Montana, Johnny Unitas, Tom Brady, Terry Bradshaw, and Bart Starr are your guys. If you like gaudy numbers then you're more likely to be a fan of Peyton Manning, Dan Marino, and Brett Favre.

The top quarterbacks of all time are known for their excellent skills and leadership on the field. The quarterback position is the most important in football. The position entails being a coach on the field who can call and adjust plays on a whim and being able to dissect the defensive coverage by taking a peek at what they're showing, all while having the ability to avoid the oncoming pass rush and make accurate throws. Sounds easy right? The gentleman who are considered the best qbs of all time have the rare ability to do all of these things in a matter of seconds.   

Vote for whoever you think should get the title of  best quarterback ever. If you see someone who is missing, feel free to add them to this Ultimate List of the best NFL quarterbacks of all time.

People We Wish Were Still Alive
RIP to our world's greatest achievers, those who changed the way we live and the ways we thought.

This list of people we wish were still alive includes some of the greatest humanitarians, artists, politicians, and celebrities we wished could have stayed with us longer. These notable dead people often died ahead of their time (some of them are among the celebrities who died in 2013) while others passed from natural causes. Regardless of the cause and timing, these are famous people who died while they still had very much to contribute to the world.

There are myriad great people who died too soon on this list of people we wish were still alive. Among them scientists like Albert Einstein, musicians like Kurt Cobain and Jimi Hendrix, politicians like Ronald Reagan and JFK, and even celebrity personalities like the Crocodile Hunter, Steve Irwin. All these famous dead people left too soon, and left a void most people can never fill.

Who are some famous dead celebrities who should still be alive? Who are the celebrities that died before their time? There are many reasons you might have to vote up your favorite notable deceased person, so make sure to do so on this list of famous people you wish were still alive. If your favorite dead celebrity isn't listed, feel free to add them to the discussion.

If the macabre is your thing, check out the celebrity death pool 2013 to see who the public believes will be the next sad addition to the list of notable people who died too soon.

The Very Worst Songs of 2015
Did you know: 2015 has seen more singles being released than any previous year. While that’s great for statisticians, it doesn’t mean that the music is any good. Hopefully there aren't any of your favorite artists on this list, because these songs, some of the worst music of 2015, are baaaad. Like, Toby Keith complaining about the way things used to be when there weren’t any cell phones, and Madonna pretending that she’s in her mid twenties bad. Now that you know what you’re in for, put your headphones on and listen to the worst songs of 2015 so far.

A note about the selection process: in an effort to be fair, music from any genre qualifies for this worst songs list, though you're sure to find repeat and past offenders like Carly Rae Jepsen and Meghan Trainor. While these tracks are definitely the worst, at least they aren’t the most boring songs of 2015. And that’s saying something, right? In the immortal words of Propagandhi, “less talk, more rock.“ Here’s the list of the worst song list for 2015... so far.

Vote UP your least favorite song of 2015 (so far), and if you think these choices are all wrong, then post your defense in the comments section and be sure to rerank the list your way!

Shut Up and Dance
The Worst Part: It's a toss up between the fake U2 verse or the fake Fall Out Boy chorus.
Watch Me
The Worst Part: When Silento tells everyone to break their legs.

Kick the Dust Up
The Worst Part: No one gets to tell us to back it up except for Juvenile
I Might Go Lesbian

My Personal Worst Hit Songs of 2015

http://www.ranker.com/list/my-personal-worst-hit-songs-of-2015/kaylive,

Trap Queen
I think this one is so high becase of how overplayed this song got. if you were ever near a trap music sets or clubs in the summer of 2015 this was on. you could bet on that. i remeber hearing it mulitble time on the same night at some venues. add to this that its meaning is murkey and the end with that random dude in the car is meaningless. I guess its for the lades but i do have to ask why women are so into the idea of helping there man deal drugs? i guess there a lot of female drug dealers that wanted a song. idk. 

Stitches
did we really need to have a want to be early Justin Beber? no no we don't. Hooks is boring, beat is forgetble and he is even more forgetble.

Watch Me
Where do I even begin with this one. Hello 2000's dance rap, I thought we killed out the last time but no here we are in 2015 hearing this. 1. its a mess switching between dances and repeating words enought that they loss all meaning (if they really had any to begin with). have the video the cammra is pointed at his crotch and the beat is just a dated at this sad try at a  real song out of what looks like a string of vine video. Yeah its no shock this is number one but it has to be here this year.

Cherleader
ok this is on here for many of the same reasons as Honey I'm Good. also a guy that is sounding like he making a song for women to think he a better guy than he is. Omi lets be honst what girl is coming up to you and asking you to cheat on your girlfriend when she knows your taken? I dont know of any women who just right out ask that, no one dose! also if she there when you need her why isn't she there when your fighting off all these women? hun! outside of that its very basic and gets old fast.

Hit the Quad
Yep there was not just one lame no name 2000'ists style rap song here two. I'm going to skip the Stupit stage name of this guy or the fact that this was barly a hit. I going stright into how a guy with rymes and flow this bad got any attiotion. he sounds like someone who never rapped before trying too. his beat is something out of the discount bin and this dance sounds like the dumbist dance this side of shiftwy dance from rick and morty. i just hope this is a one off act or that he at least comes back with some better skills.

Centuries
damm it fall out boy you had to rip off a tom dinner! why!? there no point, it matches nothing with this song and just messes with anyone who liked that song. add that to need to make little to no seance in your lyric writing and your grandiose hook that i dont think you can ever live up too. its easy to put this on the list but there more. this was also the song used last year as a cut away song for collage football. just in case were not tired enough of it to begin with now every Saturday your stuck with it the same 30 secs of it for 10 or 20 times in the day between commercial breaks. ugg.

Dear Future Husband
I know that a lot of people have already talked about this one. sadly there all right and have little to nothing to go on. so here the highlights. 1. is there any man who wanting a women to talk like this or are they all like me and running for the hills? 2. am i the only one who is really tired of the 60ish beating in Meghan's songs? can we keep it in the past 3. your idea of rolls of men and women are so outdated that it offends me and many others. I would say do better but i douit Meghan can.

Marvin Gaye
You wonder why I said that I don't think Meghan can do better yeah here proof. bland, boring and vague that her big jump in styles wow what a lame transformation. then you add the lack of personalty that Charile Puth is giving which feels kind of sad becase it dose sound like he is trying but he just spinning his wheels in this song and it feels like something that a song writer should have left on the chopping block.

Honey I'm Good
In the sprit of romantic songs that are not really as well meaning as they seem. we come to "Honey I'm Good". A song about a guy walking out a bar becase he can't trust himself with this amount of aclhol in his system. I like meny think the same thing. if your not good with the boozes why are you drinking alone? what were you going out and doing? was there a budy you could have gotten to keep you in line or i dont know tooken your girl with you!? just saying if you would plan ahead you would not need to play up and shut down some chick at the bar that just rude.

Worth It
When i frist heard this song i was sure this was the bottom. Sadly Silento proofed me wrong but most year this would win. Lame rapper, stupid themed video, madding hook, this has all the calling for the type of hit that will make you wish it was never recored and from a group that won last year. yep fith harmony the crimson tide of bad music lists.

My Personal Fav Hit Songs of 2015

http://www.ranker.com/list/my-personal-fav-hit-songs-of-2015/kaylive,

Can't Feel My Face
I don't know why but i tend to like the Weeknd. He just a tab bit differnt sound makes for both a notusble voice and the kind of song that can be hard to be fully bugged by. Given that this seems to be a song about taking what i figure is cocain and being coferted by a women or at least his head relating the drug to a women. its leave a bit of mystery and help make people want to hear the song more than once. also the seeming interlocking videos are kind of cool. 

Lean On
ok i know its simple and the video makes we wonder if they got in ugly e-mails from india. however its great mood music for me. its a good pick me up song. easy to dance to and hard to be mad at. its simple happy party song done right. even if its hook at bit overdone but ill give it a pass there.

Good for You
i know irony putting Selena next to Justin on this list. sorry but it was too good to reset. As for this song i have to amit that my go to distrition is this is selena's attimte to make fasion runway music and give that she was at the this years victoria sericet show i was kinda proven right. this song drips seduction wich is nice to see Selena be able to be this sexy. in a market filled with female artist trying for being a dream girl Selena has played her self to not only a personal best but a strong case of being the hotest singer on the sence. now if she can only stay this good and not slip back into the love me like a love song days we all will be reilved or at least me.

Where Are You Now
how did justin beber get in here? i thought we all were done with him. well leave it up the dinamic duo of Jack U to bring him back. i dont know what i really like about this song. i guess its one of the most pure guilty pelurs on this list. however i will say that it is nice to see justin talking about something more than usale here. i know there is a bit of a theore going around that both of his big sigles this year are really about him singing to the american public witch may have suck me in but i honstly dont know for sure.

Back to Back
In an age of shuch seniftity and polictical coretness a song like Back to Back was never supost to go anywhere right? no one can make a real diss song and make it sell right? wrong. drake has proven that you have be mean to someone personaly and make it sell. ok taylor swift has too but lets be honest her dis track is a pilow fight compared to this one. sold, strong and to the point this is the drake i would like to see more of but dout i will so ill sit back with the drink in my hand and enjoy.

Hello
How could I not put this one up. Complex enough to justife theroes of hiden meanings. sang with full enought and heart. produced in a fitting and well balenced matter. this is the come back song we have been waiting for and its great to see Adele back.

Cool for the Summer
How on earth is there a good Demi Lovato song out there? This shouldn't happen, this can't happen. this women has had some of the worst songs of any pop star in the last 5 years. yep in the proof that even acts i normaly can't stand there can be a jem here and there. this is one of the best cases of a expection song i have ever seen. that one lone song from a act you dont like that you can't help but enjoy. Demi in this song has substace she have a gridness and she not sounding like she killing her voice to sound like she has meaning. now yes she still needs to tone down her course a bit but its better than her earlyer work and yes if she going to go for sexy she might want to pratics some more on being suductive however im going to enjoy this rare sound.

Talking Body
i think this could be just left over enjoyment of tove lo hit from last year however i cant say this is not a good song. at least in terms of a pop song. its funny that she from the home of one of the bigest songwriting groups around right now and her big critic clame was her ablity to sing out a diry. i guess if music dies out for her she can wirte for ohter pop starts. that the sweeds for ya.

Uptown Funk
This is the kind of fun song that is hard to hate. so i don't. its retro done right and proof that someone can keep getting better like Burno Mars has. I can't think of an artist who i see shuch sold inprovment from single to single. this has to be the peak right? I don't know but im liking what he doing now much more than what he started out as.

Here
It's weard given that im the kind of person who goes out a lot too like a song about someone is very not into the sence she has been draged into. i think i like how well its confaded in this song. it feels thought out and vivid which is something rare in the musical mainstream. even if the guy in he background is kind of pain to hear in the song i can see why it was put in. i may not really relate to her but i can repect her honest in this song. i hope we hear more from her in the years to come.

The Greatest TV Doctors
List of the best television doctors, ranked by fans of the doctor characters and their medical shows. Plenty of memorable TV doctors have graced our small screens over the last 50 years, but some television doctors stand out from the rest. From medical dramas and comedies to soap operas and sci-fi thrillers, every great TV show needs a compassionate, competent and - of course - good looking doctor to save the day.

Ever since 'General Hospital' opened its fictional doors more than 50 years ago, there has been a flood of TV shows featuring every type of TV doctor you could imagine. In the beginning, TV doctors were dependable, noble and considerate medical healers in TV shows like 'Medic' and 'Dr. Kildare'. As television evolved, so too did the doctors. On modern TV, doctors now feature complex personalities and dramatic background stories, such as the drug-addicted, enigmatic and astoundingly intelligent antihero Dr. Gregory House and the entire medical squad in 'ER'.

So who are the greatest TV doctors of all time? Whether you prefer dreamy medical heroes like Derek Shephard, Michaela Quinn and James Kildare; the funny antics of Hawkeye Pierce, Perry Cox and Sheldon Cooper; or the drama that comes with Meredith Grey and Christina Yang, you can rest assured that there is an excellent fictional physician on call.

The Most Overrated Actors of All Time

This list of the most overrated actors of all time, has been ranked by critics and fans from all over the world. Actors are seen as the face of the movies, television, and other media products in which they star. Extra attention is paid to them, as if they are infallible people. Hollywood actors and actresses have become like gods to many people around the globe, and they are worshiped with praise, money, awards, and gifts. However, many of the actors receiving the most accolades are extremely overrated in their raw talent, charisma, and chemistry with other actors. While many actors, like Tom Cruise and Will Smith, bring in the big box office bucks, they have little to no acting range and often phone in their performances.

Many of the actors who get the most praise gave one or two great performances during their film careers, but then rested on their laurels for the rest of their careers. Others are pretty good actors, but nowhere near as talented as the overwhelming praise they get states. Even more actors have no talent at all, but are famous because of their looks and personality. Even some of the actors and actresses from classic movies aren’t as gifted as many claim.

Who are the most overrated actors? What about the many overrated actresses (Kristen Stewart, we're looking at you)? This list features current and Old Hollywood actors who are higher rated then they deserve for their acting skills.

The Greatest American Novels
List of some of the best American novels from classic writers, like Nathaniel Hawthorne, to more modern names, like Stephen King, with room for the list to grow. There is an option to add your favorite American novels to the list if yours is not already on there.

The list asks the question, "What is the best American novel?" with novels from William Faulkner, Toni Morrison, Philip Roth and Nathaniel Hawthorne, plus many more that have written great American novels since then. More modern American novels are included, such as The Road by Cormac McCarthy and The Stand by Stephen King, which may be more familiar.
 
American novels can represent the spirit of the age in the United States during the time it was written or the time it was set in. The American novel is written by those who are knowledgeable about the state, culture and even the perspective of those during that time.

Some of these best American novels may have also been on the reading curriculum in school, like Uncle Tom's Cabin by Harriet Beecher Stowe, The Scarlet Letter by Nathaniel Hawthorne, The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien or To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Be sure to vote not just on your favorite authors, but on your favorite novel of all time, as some authors may be listed twice for other novels that are considered the best.
