I think this was asked on another board, and I think it's an interesting question.
If you could go back and "erase" the existence of just one band - thus, erasing the influence they've had - which band would it be?
And, c'mon, saying "I wouldn't do it at all" is no fun at all.
I haven't really decided yet. I know which horror movie I'd erase (the first _Friday The 13th_, without question), but band? That's tough. It's easy to say Korn, but has the Kornification of so much American hard rock really much affected the music we, well, like?
I predict Nirvana will be the most "popular" pick in this thread. |

Nirvana killed rock & roll. They stand for everything rock & roll is not. You know being serious and always trying to write "meaningful artistic songs (out of only 3 chords...any more then that nad you're wanking off remember)" which toitally goes against the decadent, fun-loving nature rock & Roll enjoyed from the 1950's straight up until 1991. Alternative rock has nothing to do with rock |

Just one, huh?
You know, this is a tougher call than you'd think, but I pick Aerosmith. What started out as a second-rate Mick and Keith knockoff has deteriorated into a schmaltzy ballad band, and Steven Tyler is one of the most obnoxious, in-love-with-himself frontmen ( can't really call him a "singer" ) in the history of rock and roll.
Dishonorable mention: Kiss ( the Home Shopping Network of Rock ), Ted Nugent ( bad, bad music is reason enough )
Nirvana didn't kill rock, they replaced The First Wave Of Mall Metal, and that whole batch of foofy-haired Spandex power-balladeers deserved to go...in my opinion, of course. The puffsters erased REAL metal from the public opinion, and changed the perception of metal into a fruity-colored cartoon. |

Leave it to you Tyranno to come up with an excellent (all beit tough!) question!!
Tho Nirvana is is easiest, most likely choice for me, I'm going to go back a little further. Not that I don't like this band but what had come after is what I wouldn't mind "erasing" because of the sheer greediness!...Bon Jovi. Man, did that open the flood gates for sappy, polished, make-sure-the-hair-looks-good music and image! |

Nah skip Nirvania,,, punk has a place somewhere next to rockabilly. I pick Pearl Jam.. tho superior to nirvana, just lacking a jerk frontman. They influenced all this roots rock match box twenty bland sound. And Creed. Nothing against these bands personally I just dont get them. |

Metallica/Slayer for thrash metal? Ouch! Are you sure that you are on the right board? [img]images/smiles/icon_wink.gif[/img]
I would have said Nirvana, but that would be way too easy. I don't think Nirvana killed metal anyway, Metal was very much becoming a parody of itself by the time they got big.
I am going with Creed. I hate them. I am very sick of seeing them called a Metal band. I am also sick of seeing their stupid lead singer with his shirt off in every video and hearing his stupid voice. MAN DO THEY SUCK AND I WISH I NEVER HEARD OF THEM!!! |
