And change one thing what would it be? It could be anything.

Like I would like to have seen Jimi Hendrix live to join ELP. That would have been interesting to see, Although ELP Made 4 great albums on their own.

I would increase the timespan of glam/thrash dominance on the radio/MTV for another decade...

And keep Jim Morrison alive, cuz he rocks...

Stop the fall of the P-Funk empire in 1980.
Keep Jimi Hendrix alive.
Stop Prince from changing his name. (He lost a lotta fans)

Why would you stop Prince from changing his name because he lost fans?

Why do you care? Did you ditch him because he changed his name?

Point is; Prince never lost any FANS, he lost idiots. Boo hoo.

-AC

I didn't ditch him, I thought it was cool.

But I sometimes get tired when people laugh with P.

...hmm......make it so Zeppelin would have never broken up

Exactly, if the name matters so much to you, no great loss.

I suppose I'd get Brian Wilson release SMiLE in the '60's.

Or you could replace them with people who actually have talent.

On a lighter note....I'd make Geddy Lee get rid of that hideous Mullet he used to sport! He is way better than that.

I would tell John Bonham to go easy with the Vodka

Nobody would bring Hendrix or Jeff Buckley back?

-AC

Why bother when you can alter the release date of an album?

Because that's more importa...oh I see, you're making a point-ke.

-AC Apparently not even you. I don't think bringing Hendrix back would have changed that much as he had already made his mark and set a new standard. I would like have seen Buckley survive because he is one of the few original, creative and refreshing faces in rock from the 90s.

I would have loved to see Hendrix not dying. Look at the amazing things he did when he was in his teens-20s. He would just keep getting better and better.

Hendrix was getting a lot more experimental with blues, and that's something I'd have liked to see him live long enough to continue.

You know Disco? I'd wipe it out of existence.

Besides bringing back the people I mentioned.

I'd actually remove The Beatles. Just for the likely proof that they didn't really change as much music as people believe, and things probably wouldn't be much different if they hadn't been around, in my opinion.

I like them, but just to see.

-AC

Well you can really never know. Maybe music would be the same without the Beatles but maybe it would be completely different. We will never know.


Oh and I know this may sound lame but let's keep Elvis alive.

Haha. My guilty pleasure I'm afraid, I get jipped silly by mates about liking them, but oh well. I want to make it clear, I just like the Libs, none of that Babyshambles rubbish.

Oh, and on another note. I'd keep The Smiths together definitely, don't know how it slipped my mind before.

I would have liked to hear what Michael Jackson's song, Bad, would have sounded like if Prince agreed to the duet.

Michael Jackson's vocals are second to none. Timberlake and Spears are only trying to copy the success of MJ. Heck Timberlake's first album that came out was mostly songs Michael didn't want to use for his Invincible album.

There are plenty of more able singers than Michael Jackson.

If he's your favourite singer then fine, but he's not the best singer on a technical level.

Yes, I Know.

Off course he is A LOT better. But he's way 2 commercial for me.

He's way too commercial so you lump him in with those two, despite knowing he is leagues above most people, let alone those two? Yes, that was very stupid.

As for too "commercial", dude, you like Prince.

Prince is arguably more commercial than Jackson. Unless you mean he's too poppy, which I still don't get, cos Prince has been as poppy.

-AC

MJ makes music he thinks people will like.
Prince makes music he himself likes.

I mean really, have you listened 2 Around the world in a day, The rainbow children, parade (Xcept 4 kiss)? What about Come?

That's commercial music?

Originally posted by Funkadelic

A) Proof?

B) Why not just say that? Why say MJ is on the same level as Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake, then retract it, then say he's too commercial, then sort of retract that?

Just say what you mean.

I own everything he's ever done. To suggest Prince isn't commercial is idiotic. Commercial doesn't necessarily mean you do everything to please everyone else. Prince has sold over a hundred million records or something, he's behind Mariah Carey, The Beatles, Stevie Wonder and Elton John ONLY when it comes to number one hits, you gonna tell me he's not commercial?

-AC

Man, I Dig MJ, I dig prince.
I just don't dig the idea of them working together.

I never said singer I said vocals. It's amazing the range of vocals MJ can reach from low to high where a (almost) all of singers stick to either one or the other. But when it comes down to straight up vocals I do consider MJ to be the best.

I still consider Joel to be the best singer.

You do not get to decide who is technically better than someone else, though. They either have more ability or they do not, and many have more skill and better technique than Jackson.

Whether or not you prefer his voice is irrelevant.

You wouldn't say the guy from Nickleback is a more skilled guitarist than Hendrix just because you liked what he played more than you like what Hendrix played.

Originally posted by ESB -1138

In what way, though? You consider him to be the best that you like? As in, you enjoy his voice the most?

Or are you sincerely claiming you believe there to be no greater skilled singer than Billy Joel?

Originally posted by Bardock42

I think personally that after so many generations, the relevance and presence of past influence gets less. So modern music would probably be more different if Patton was gone than The Beatles.

Further back, obviously The Beatles, as Patton wasn't as established.

Though whether either would be missed or not is never to be known, hence the point.

-AC

I don't think Patton was that influential. Sure he popularized a lot of experimental stuff, but he wasn't the first to really do it. Mr. Bungle is probably his most influential band, but Trey Spruance was the true genius of that band imo. His guitar style with that double diminished power chord he used pretty much created Korn and influenced many others. His side project Secret Chiefs 3 is pretty weird and groundbreaking.

Nobody would say he's that influential because he really isn't credited as much as he should be, because his stuff isn't as well known as those who are influenced by him.

I'd say Faith No More were the most influential.

He was the first to actually do a lot of things he isn't credited for. System of a Down have long since been once of the world's most unique bands, that essentially comes from Serj, who more or less got his entire vocal style from an FNM song.

Angel Dust more or less spawned what would become alternative rock.

Not to mention that Patton has been doing this since he was no older than some of us, at such a high level.

Patton writes Fantomas on his own. Far more "weird" and groundbreaking than Secret Chiefs.

-AC

I'd resurrect Dimebag Darrell, for one. I took his death rather hard.

The Eagles should have never broken up. Sure they had pretty good solo careers but it took them this long to come out with a full fledge Eagles album and here's looking forward to the Long Road Out of Eden

He was shot and still had a number of post-greatness mediocre albums left in him, so I can see why you'd be sad.

Frank Sinatra was old. It's supposed to be about changing history, not doing stuff that's inconsequential.

-AC

Yeah...like Keep John Lennon Alive. Or keep Syd Barret from going nuts. Whatever. Reving old people would be pointless, they probally wouldn't contribute too much before they die again.

I would keep Mozart alive, for ever........
