We all have those friends who are competitive or are constantly causing drama for one reason or another. It's tempting to just put up with them, but a new study has found that conflicts with those kinds of people could actually be irritating you physically—as in causing your immune system to fire up.

We live in troubled times. We're fighting wars everywhere, Wall Street has been occupied, people are still adding -gate to the end of scandal names even though it doesn't make any sense. And to make matters worse, we're becoming increasingly incapable of not acting like complete assfaces toward our spouses and partners after we get home from work.

These type of lists always tend to cause arguments among music fans, but some of the holes in this list—especially where female singers are concerned—are so idiotic (No Billie Holiday or Ella Fitzgerald or even Diana Ross?) and the hierarchy so confusing (Christina Aguilera over Mariah Carey and Dolly Parton?) that you have to wonder what the people at Rolling Stone were thinking. After the jump, see where female singers fit in on Rolling Stone's list and argue amongst yourselves. More »
