I know; he's an idiot. Thank you.

Whether you like him or not, he sold millions of albums. His early stuff with the Amboy Dukes holds up quite well. I've posted the videos at DU before. You can watch them without embracing the dark side.

The Amboy Dukes

Origin: Chicago, Illinois, United States
Years active: 1964–1975

The Amboy Dukes were an American rock band formed in 1964 in Chicago, Illinois, and later based in Detroit, Michigan. They are known for their one hit single "Journey to the Center of the Mind". The band's name comes from the title of a novel by Irving Shulman. In the UK, the group's records were released under the name of The American Amboy Dukes, because of the existence of a British group with the same name.[citation needed]

The band went through a number of personnel changes during its active years, the only constant being lead guitarist and composer Ted Nugent. The band transitioned to being Nugent's backing band before he discontinued the name in 1975.
