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.

I'd straight up yesterday the Beatles. Fuck'em.

That would meam a lot of derivatives would never come to be.

It's like saying you would like to eclipse the Sex Pistols or Black Sabbath.

I thought it was funny in the movie that oasis also didn't exist.

As an audiophile, Dr. Dre.

Alternatively Billie Eilish. She's got malicious vibes.

~~Ted Bundy.~~ Charlie Manson (Oops, swaped serial killer names when i typed it out)

Maybe without music and the Beach Boys connection he never gets his cult off the ground.

Maybe help Hitler get his music career off the ground in hopes of providing a positive outlet?

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?

[-] derpgon@programming.dev 5 points 10 months ago

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

Bon Jovi. Nobody needed that.

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.

[-] Naich@kbin.social 3 points 10 months ago

The Beatles.

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