If you could erase any one musician/band (but only one!) from music history forever, who would it be?

I've been pondering this one for awhile and still haven't come up with a good answer, though Puff Daddy is high on the list of contenders due to the sheer volume of shitty acts that wouldn't exist if not for him.

Puff Daddy and Babyface are really high on the list, but I think I will have to go with whoever thought up MTV. More than anything else, the video scene has pushed the focus from the music to the image and produced such wonders as Spice Girls and all the various boybands.

Strauss and Wagner get a vote, too...fuck waltz and fuck The Ring.

Hrm tough decision. I don't think erasing one band from history would really change much. However if I had to erase one it would probably be one that I hate - and I don't hate much. Maybe one of the most recent pop icon band things like Ninety Degrees or N'Sync - more than likely. They really possess little talent when it comes to music itself and more talent when it comes to being a good multitasker - dance/fashion/etc...

How bout the owner of Death Row Records?

Very tough choice, for now i guess it would be limp bizcut or however they spell it

Strauss and Wagner? WTF!!1!!!!1!!1!!!1!!

I am definitely going to have to lean towards the MTV nuke concept. We're force fed the next great "packaged artist" who is really just another no-name hack who happens to have a voice but no talent. I'm tired of the "MTV style" of editing in everything we see. So while I'm not exactly "erasing" a particular artist per se, I still think this is relevant!

Avril Lavigne is really cool. She says what she wants without really going overboard. Plus, she is an awesome singer & songwriter. I had never heard of her before and then I heard sk8er boi.

Avril Lavigne is totally 'da bomb. She's truthful, doesn't try to impress anyone, she's a rebel, and she's a small-town Canadian girl. Anyone who doesn't like her must be on some serious drugs. Cut down on the crack all you Avril-haters.

Argh yes, I'm very tempted to choose Avril just because she's so fucking annoying.

any thug rap group with lyrics about shooting niggers/raping bitches or whatever..

Posted: **August 18, 2003, 4:14 pm**

Jam Master J or whatever his name is. Not so much because I have a problem with him in particular, but because my hope would be that if he never came out - rap itself would have never come out.

And that would be a "Good Thing" (tm).

I'd rather be tortured with non-stop John Denver than to listen to 10 seconds of any 5 cent song. People make fun of country .. lose truck, dog and wife, get drunk.. rap is just as pathetic.. steal car, shoot dog, and wife, get high..

Posted: **August 18, 2003, 5:54 pm**

50 cent.. i cant stand his fucking name, i cant stand his fucking music, i cant stand anything about him. Hell get rid of every rap act that has no talent and lacks meaningful lyrics.

Just a thought. But it seems many of you are trivializing your one chance to reshape music history.

Sure, you could un-make 98 degrees or whatever...but you know they would be instantly replaced with someone else. Try and pinpoint the origin of your particular musical hatred. If it's boybands, it would probably be NKOTB (there may have been one early, I'm not all the knowledgable about boy bands)

Again, getting rid of 50 cent would do nothing. Rap is the market right now...and there would be three replacements just ready to hop in. The idea of Jam Master J was right on, though I don't necessarily agree with it. I probably would try and eliminate when rap turned commercial, and not rap alltogether.

Put some thought into it. Try and make an impact with your choice. (i'm still trying to decide what mine is)

Nirvana, without a doubt. I hated Cobaine.

Ok Truant, then it would have to be Babs.

I fucking hate her. I love when they ripped on her in Southpark. I think more shows should do the same.

Posted: **August 19, 2003, 8:35 pm**

Killing off boybands starts with the Beatles. Although I'm not certain that anyone here would want to reshape musical history so drastically.

Posted: **August 22, 2003, 2:27 pm**

Hmm moments in history to remove, but almost all of them have downsides

1. RunDMC and Aerosmith, but then we would lose the excellent Aerosmith music since then
2. Whoever put the talentless Kid Jock and Crow in the same room
3. Undoing the assassination of Lennon, but unless you could have the bullets hit Yoko, well, we would still have problems
4. Making the Beatles decide to go for it and reunite on SNL like they were minutes from doing
5. Talking Valens and Holly and even the Bopper off that mutherfraking plane
6. Pumping Mojo's stomach in the Amsterdam room
7. Loving Pearl like she needed to be
8. Getting Jimi to slow down the intake
9. Getting Mama Cass into some Jazzercise

I could go on all day

Some things should not be undone, Nirvana would be toast if not for Kurt waxxing himself, Elvis would have been sad instead of dead etc.

Getting Stevie Ray Vaughn off the plane..
Getting Randy Rhoads off the plane..
Getting Lynard Skynard off the plane..
Getting Aliyah (sp?) off the plane..

Getting Left Eye out of the vehicle..
Getting James Dean out of the vehicle..
Getting Sam Kinison out of the vehicle..
Getting Cliff Burton out of the vehicle..

Getting Lennon out of the way..
Getting Elvis off the crapper..
Getting Cobain out of the way of Love blowing his head off..
Getting Marvin Gaye out of the way..
etc..

Posted: **August 22, 2003, 3:11 pm**

This is a really good question, I have given it a week of thought and still can't come up with whom to eliminate in order to knock out as much crappy music as possible.

Posted: **August 22, 2003, 6:27 pm**

Lol, the question was "What one artist/group would you erase from history" Not "How would you alter time"...We'd all like to fix those tragedies...but that's not answering the question.

I still haven't come to a final decision, everytime I get close, I come across a lot of negative reactions. I'll get one soon ><

eh I dunno about that..my idea of the typical 'boy band' is them not playing their own instruments but just singing like a barbershop quartet..not very well at that...with background music done by whomever artists

Posted: **August 25, 2003, 3:17 pm**

Hank Williams or whoever was considered the father of country shit-smelling trailer trash music

she performed a public service with that one, glad hes gone

Must get rid of Puff Daddy.

I bought the "Best of Sting and the Police" CD a few months ago and saw that P. Douchebag's remake of "Roxanne" was the last cut on the CD. Having never heard it before, I said to myself, "I'll listen to it, how bad can it be?"

I got about 20 seconds into the song when I rolled down my window and smashed the CD on the highway.

The sad thing is the "brothas and sistas" are totally behind this no-talent waste of space.

Posted: **August 27, 2003, 8:27 pm**

if i could bring someone back it would be bradley nowell no question

Posted: **August 29, 2003, 4:00 pm**

I'd bring back Cobain. Fuck you guys

Id murder Korn, since I hate them and without them we wouldnt have to put up with Limp Bizkit and Staind and that other dude that liek the way you smack his ass or whatever and looks like ugly kid joe.

only downside is that Creed would still be alive

Posted: **August 31, 2003, 1:39 am**

If you do want to get rid of "boy groups" cause bands play instruments... Then start with New Edition. Cause the man who made them decided hed do a white version. Just get rid of Maurice Starr....YES I know his name I was a NKOTB fan GAHHHH my wasted youth.... anyway he started it really. New Edtion leaves and that could really get rid of a lot of crap pop/r&b hehe

ANd yes I hate 50 cent, 2 quaters, half dollar, 50 pennies, 5 dimes, 20 nickels its all the same CRAP!!

Posted: **August 31, 2003, 10:55 am**

keep in mind that even by illiminating a rap icon, that could totally reshape everyones lifes in our world as well as music history, meaning that at a particular moment the memebers of sublime would have never met or something like it, fucking everything up...or his dawww froo da hoo' woull step up and bust out his nigga's rhymes and just fuck us over again

Posted: **August 31, 2003, 2:20 pm**

Yoko Ono & Linda McCartney might be good candidates as well...
