1) Yoko Ono

Rock history: Yoko Ono’s influence on John Lennon, and the resulting friction with the rest of the Beatles, is well documented. Lauded by some, reviled by others, and generally not understood by anybody, Yoko Ono is emblematic of the “meddling girlfriend who breaks up the band” archetype. No rock experience is complete without one of these.

How it works: Sleazy agents, drug addiction, a new drummer, and bad press. Once you’ve overcome these, up the difficulty level with a USB Yoko Ono. Makes ridiculous suggestions every 30 seconds to distract you from rocking.
