🔥Joni Mitchell’s Brutal List: The 5 Musicians She HATED Most – Shocking Names Revealed! 🎤

Known for her poetic lyrics, angelic voice, and fierce independence, Joni Mitchell has always played by her own rules.

But in a bombshell interview that’s already lighting up headlines, the music legend proved she still has zero patience for what she sees as phoniness, ego, and artistic mediocrity.

When pressed on the Off the Record podcast to name the artists she respected the least, Mitchell didn’t mince words.

“Oh, I have a list,” she said with a sly smile.

“Some of them are legends, but I never bought into their hype.

1.Bob Dylan – “A Plagiarist in Poet’s Clothing”
The most shocking name to top her list? None other than Bob Dylan.

While the two are often mentioned in the same breath as folk royalty, Mitchell made it clear she doesn’t share the public’s adoration.

“He’s a thief.

Always has been,” she said coldly.

“Borrowed from everyone and called it genius.

People act like he invented lyricism.

Please.

” Mitchell also slammed Dylan’s “nasal, lazy vocals” and his refusal to evolve.

“He plateaued decades ago.

2.Madonna – “Marketing Over Music”
Next on the chopping block was the Queen of Pop herself, Madonna.

“She’s a performer, sure, but a musician? No,” Mitchell scoffed.

“She’s built her empire on shock value and branding.

It’s not artistry—it’s advertising.

” Mitchell accused Madonna of “contributing to the death of lyrical depth in pop music,” saying the material girl prioritized trends over truth.

“There’s no soul in her music.

Just glitter and noise.

3.Led Zeppelin – “Loud and Empty”
In a takedown that’s already riling up rock fans, Mitchell came for Led Zeppelin with shocking bluntness.

“They’re just noise merchants,” she said.

“All volume, no substance.

People call it raw power—I call it musical hollowness.

” Mitchell slammed the band’s lyrics as “laughable at best, misogynistic at worst,” and dismissed the legendary group as “a testosterone-fueled jam session with guitars turned to 11.

”

4.Janis Joplin – “Tragic and Overrated”
Even one of the most beloved women in rock didn’t escape Mitchell’s scathing list.

While she acknowledged Joplin’s struggles, Mitchell made it clear she never admired her voice or musicality.

“She screamed more than she sang,” Joni said.

“It was all pain and no precision.

Just because you suffer doesn’t make you a great artist.

You still need skill.

” While some may see the two as spiritual sisters in the male-dominated ’60s scene, Mitchell insists, “We were nothing alike.

”

5.Elton John – “Camp Without Craft”
Rounding out the list was a true titan of pop-rock—Sir Elton John.

Mitchell didn’t hold back, calling his early work “catchy but empty” and his later career “a Vegas act hiding behind sequins.

” She criticized his reliance on Bernie Taupin’s lyrics, saying, “If you can’t write your own words, you’re not a complete artist.

Sorry.

” She also threw shade at his theatrics: “It’s always been more about the glasses than the message.

Fans are now spiraling in disbelief online.

“Joni’s out here canceling half the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame,” one shocked user tweeted.

Another added, “She just declared war on every classic rock station in America.

” Still, others applauded her honesty, calling the takedown “iconic,” “long overdue,” and “the most Joni thing ever.

Some artists have responded subtly.

Elton John posted a cryptic piano-only Instagram Story with the caption “no words necessary,” while Bob Dylan’s camp issued a vague statement about “art being subjective.

” Madonna, never one to stay quiet, reportedly unfollowed Mitchell on all platforms within minutes of the news breaking.

Whether you agree or not, one thing is clear: Joni Mitchell doesn’t care what you think.

At 80 years old, she’s saying exactly what’s on her mind—and these five musicians just found themselves on the wrong side of a musical legend’s wrath.

And fans? They’re either screaming in outrage or raising a glass to the queen of savage honesty.

Welcome to the era of unfiltered Joni.

And no one—not even Dylan—is safe.
