If you could go back in time and stop any one person or group's musical career, who or what would it be? (lemmy.world)

This isn't a "go back in time and assassinate" someone question. It's just their musical career never takes off and thus any music they ever would have made is no longer in this timeline.

Would it be cheating if I chose Nero Caesar since he technically was a musician and would perform in the colosseums under threat of death?

Damn this had me thinking to stop the musician that proposed the winter dance party tour, but it seems buddy Holly originated it so no facing him.

It would have been cool to see where he went musically.

Mariah Carey, for that obvious one song that returns every fucking Christmas.

All excellent suggestions here. I’m adding Lost Prophets to the list. Maybe don’t look them up if you don’t already know.

Dave Mustaine is a particularly irritating fascist, would be nice id he didn't get royalties

[-] Anamnesis@lemmy.world 3 points 10 months ago

Dave Matthews

Phil Collins. Genesis could do without him and the world without his solo career

Can I pick a midpoint in his career? If so I would pick Coldplay after Viva la Vida. Otherwise, The B-52s
