You cannot be a wuss and appear on a David Lee Roth album. Strike this selection, Blender.

And if that rule holds, forget including Stephen Bishop or Andrew Gold--they're both on Neil Young's Living With War.

Blender mistakes Hetfield's therapy sessions for something else.
Hetfield would kick Blender's ass in a heartbeat.

I wouldn't want Merchant to be less wussy. Besides, Lisa Loeb is far wussier, as purty as she is.
Smith could probably also kick Blender's ass. He's not a little man under all that goth-goo.

Bon Jovi deserves the top spot just for their "You Can't Go Home" video. They're bulding a freaking Habitat for Humanity house (wait - is Jon running for Congress?)

how?

There is no footage of him, anywhere. Photos are rare, and all primary sources are disjointed, conflicting, and distanced.

His music isn't very wussy. At least compared to any other artist of the same vein.

Quote:
Drake was acutely shy[1] and began to resent touring. The few concerts he did play were usually in support of other British folk acts of the time, such as Fairport Convention or John Martyn and were often brief and awkward. Partially because of this, his work received little attention and sold poorly. Whilst in the recording studio, he was so shy that he would always play into the wall so as to avoid people's gazes.
