10. Almost like a lone cuckoo, above its nest, on a rack, surrounded by water, screaming.
OK, McMurphy was the character Jack Nicholson played in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest... so this guy almost sounds like him.
An island is surrounded by water. If it were on a rack, it would be a long island. The screams would be the sound it made as I stretched it to make this clue work.
Honestly, the effort I go into some weeks.

Short bosses would be MGMT.
MGMT - Time To Pretend
4. Ask a Loser if he wants a cuppa... you'll be surprised by how many sugars he wants.
"Brew, Beck?"
"You take five!?"
Dave Brubeck - Take Five
Nice.
3. "They're all out to get me!"
Rubbish!
Garbage - I Think I'm Paranoid
2. Vowel-free gym teacher in the Yellowhammer state.
Their gym teacher was Leonard Skinner. He didn't like long hair or loud music.
No, really. This is the guy who gave them their name...
"Turn it up!"
Lynyrd Skynyrd - Sweet Home Alabama
1. Artist not with Brand T gives up seat.
Rembrandt without Brand T = Rem.
Stand the drummer at the front then it's harder to identify the band. (Except... those eyebrows...)
