This week’s has seen not one but two former rock stars fall afoul of the law – earlier this week we raised an eyebrow at the bizarre case of “Animals Running At Large” that’s seen former Smashing Pumpkins bassist, D’Arcy Wretzky, banged up for a week, and then on Friday former Iron Maiden frontman and all-round unpleasant human, Paul Di’Anno, was convicted of being a massive benefits fraudster. What a dick. Fate (well, the world’s judicial systems, at any rate) was telling us that this week’s Slaylist was destined be about musicians and their many, many brushes with the law.

The world of rock’n'roll has never seen eye-to-eye with the law. Hell, the mantra of sex’n'drugs’n'rock’n'roll is pretty much diametrically opposed to the lifestyle that lawmakers would like their law-abiding citizens to follow. Be it punk rock, heavy metal, and even the vary roots of rock’n'roll itself, disobedience in the face of authority has been something that rock stars have gravitated towards. We’ve collected 23 tracks from rockers finding themselves on the wrong side of the law – some guilty, some innocent – and from them created the most criminal of Slaylists.

Listen to our Sunday Spotify Slaylist: Legal Troubles

Spotify is once again open to everyone for free. You don’t need an invite or anything. Okay, so they’ve changed the terms and conditions a little bit so you can only listen to 20 hours of music a month if you’re not willing to cough up at least a fiver, but that’s more than enough time to wrap your ears around our weekly Slaylists. You don’t need to break the law for free music on your computer after all!

What other video could we pick this week but this one?

We’ve covered the whole gamut of criminal activity in our Slaylist – from church-burnings and murder, through to tax evasion and that “Animals Running At Large” conviction we keep banging on about. Tell you what – whoever can pair up the most crimes with the most songs from our Slaylist will win a prize. We don’t know what that prize is – we guess we’ll nick something from somewhere so it can be suitably criminally-sourced. Drop your answers in a comment down below.
