Sammy Hagar is a wanker.

I was crusing around on iTunes yesterday & on their music store I found Sammy Hagar's Celebrity Playlist. For those of you who don't know, the celebrity playlist feature is a chance for celebrities (film, music, tv, general) to share their favorite music with people if they want to buy it. The idea is to give people a general sense of what kind of music the celebrity is listening to and a real chance to see if a musical artist is going to put themselves on the list.


I rock dude!

I'd like to give the award of selfish bastard to Sammy Hagar for putting ELEVEN of his own songs on there. You might say to me "Well Josh, Van Halen kicks ass, I mean you can't really blame him for that." Oh but there's only THREE songs from Van Halen. THREE!

In comparison I'd like to list some other celebrities and their inclusions in their own playlists (all listed are musical artists):

Runners up for selfish bastards (silver & bronze if you will):

Jadakiss-2
Pete Rock-2

Honorable Mentions:

JoJo-1
Missy Elliot-1
Moby-1*
Erik Sermon-1

Kind Souls:

Fred Durst-0
Kelly Clarkson-0
Adam Sandler-0
Duncan Sheik-0
Tom Petty-0
Avril Levigne-0
Indigo Girls-0
John Mayer-0
Flaming Lips-0
Blink 182-0
Dave Brubeck-0
Billy Corgan-0
Sting-0
Seal-0

*-from a "Protest Playlist" so it's not like he's tooting his own horn too much.
------------------------

See a trend here? Now can you find it hard to believe Mr. Hagar included his own bands on the list for ELEVEN of the songs? Could it get worse? Oh yes, Hagar also included a plug for his brand of Tequilla
& bandmate Michael Anthony's hot sauce:

"I'll grill up some nice fresh shrimp and lobster, throw some tortillas on the fire with a great salsa and some Mad Anthony's hot sauce, enjoy a nice shot of chilled tequila (Cabo Wabo, please), and we're there."
-Sammy Hagar

Could it get worse? Oh yes it does. Track number 20 "High & Dry Again" by Sammy Hagar & The Waboritas is his "Favorite Sex Song." Dude, you're the one singing it!

Honorable mentions of comments related to songs he's in:
"Favorite The-Relationship-Is-Getting-Serious Song"
"Favorite Smoking Song"
"Favorite Song to Reflect By"

I only have one thing to say dude. You ain't Diamond Dave..get over yourself.
