Rock Nerds! Spinner.com Names the "Ten Biggest Geeks in Music"
AOL Spinner's list of the biggest geeks in rock is pretty clever. The post, which is subtitled "Revenge of the Rock Nerds," runs down a bunch of musical brainiacs and even lists their alleged IQ. Artists are also rated on everything from their alleged fixations with Dungeons and Dragons to their preferences in literature.
They probably missed a few. My vote goes to the young Stevie Wonder, who was not only the genius people claimed he was, but looked a bit like Urkel as well.
Anyway, here is their list in ascending order:
10. David Byrne
9. Tom Morello
8. Jello Biafra
7. RZA
6. Robert Plant
5. Devo
4. Dexter Holland
3. They Might be Giants
2. The Decemberists

It's a good thing for daba that they didn't do the biggest geeks in music webzine publishing, because he'd be #1.
Amirite?
He does love being Da #1.
Oh Yes, Stevie Wonder was and still is the king of the Rock Nerds. Gotta love him, he's the best. BTW, Jaleel White does look a little like young Stevie Wonder and should be considered to play him in the movie.
