Kicked out of the greatest rock band ever, Pete Best is history's most famous person famous for not being famous. The reasons behind Best's notorious 1962 dismissal as The Beatles' drummer -- two years before their historic Ed Sullivan show - have been a point of debate among Beatlemaniacs and members of the Pete Best Fan Club for decades. Some claim he lacked the solid beats needed to support a rock band, while others claim John and Paul vainly wanted a less attractive drummer. Considering his replacement was the dubious-looking Ringo Starr, the second theory actually seems likely.

As a musician, Eric Stefani (brother of Gwen) has the other kind of bad timing. His rhythm is fine, but his career moves have always come at the wrong time. Shortly after making Airwalks and trombones cool again with No Doubt's breakout album, Tragic Kingdom, Stefani left to become an animator just as the band was becoming great, then joined The Simpsons just as that show's decline into thorough suckitude was beginning.
