Rockville, MD USA This is a lot like a VH1 list of the 100 most shocking moments of rock. In that spirit, here is my top 5 list.
1. John Lennon gets shot
2. Kurt Cobian commits suicide
3. Jerry Lee Lewis shacks up with his cousin
4. Ozzy Osbourne biting the head off a dove (what a dumba..). Although I do live Black Sabbath, and Ozzy, I like animals a whole lot more, and I would not object to seeing Chris Benoit slap the crippler Crossface on him...to teach him not to be such a jacka..)
5. Woodstock 99. Rioting over the high price for water. Well, of course you are going to get ripped off at a concert, everybody knows that. Frodo

Lake City, MN USA It's not something I think about much, but probably John Lennon's death. Jane, 60
West Linn, OR USA Seeing the very first broadcasts of MTV. Felicia, 35
Lowell, MA USA I think the worst thing in rock n roll history was Elvis Presley's death and then finding he had used prescription drugs. There were other deaths that were bad for rock n roll like Jim Croce he was so young and just getting started in his profession. I also think the drug scene has gotten bad with some of the 80's rock n roll and todays rock n roll. Marci, 56
Diamond, OH USA When the Stones tried to go disco. What was that? Jennifer, 19
Wilkes-Barre, PA USA I occasionally find myself humming early bits of Rock and Roll, but R&R isn't a subject I think about. Jill, 60
Saylorsburg, PA USA When the Rolling Stones went back on tour last year. Message to Mick Jagger: It's time to retire gracefully! Laura, 36
Lowell, MA USA When VH1 decided to air NOTHING but count-down shows...and/or the invention of the power ballad. Alias Irrelevante I don't think there can be a "worst" moment in Rock & Roll History. All aspects of this history add to the individuality that is called Rock and Roll whether it be negative or positive. Stephanie, 25
TX USA The birth of Simon & Garfunkel? The death of the Beatles? The moment little kids started imitating the Spice Girls and Britney Spears? I dunno. Karen, 21
Marshelltown/Ames, IA USA I'm personally a fan of face-to-face conversation, but if that isn't available I like to talk over the internet or e-mail. Johanna, 18
OK USA I mostly listen to country music now, but when I was young I listened to r'n'r and (here I'm showing my age) I thought it was a real tragedy when Jerry Lee Lewis married his 13 year-old cousin. I didn't see anything wrong with it but apparently a lot of people did because the up and coming Jerry Lee Lewis' career went down the toilet after that. Reba, 51
Rockville, MD USA I don't really know what to say to answer this question, because I wasn't really a fan of that sort of music, but I will say that I don't know what the worst moment is, but if I had to say one thing I would probably say is the day that John Lennon died. I wasn't around then, as Im only a 20 year old guy from Sydney Australia, but I must say that it probably had the biggest impact on rock 'n' roll history. Bradley, 20
Sydney AUSTRALIA Aerosmith playing with *NSync and Britney Spears on the Superbowl halftime show last year. Thanks so very much MTV... A-Dog, 18
McMinnville, OR USA The day that Fred Durst/Jonathan Davis/Coby Dick/The frontman of any popular nu-metal band you can think of was born, or at least the day that any of them decided it'd be a good idea to form a band and attempt to write a song. The day Oystein Aarseth from Emperor was killed is quite monumental, as is the day that Guns N Roses split up. Still brings a tear to my eye today... Shanna, 16
Cardiff ENGLAND Britney Spears Allie Cat The day John Lennon was assassinated was awful. No one will ever replace his amazing talent. Jami, 27
Lowell, MA USA Definately the death of Kurt Cobain in 1994. Justin, 16
Bend, OR USA
