jeff buckley

George Harrison

Johnny Cash



Not so much sad as dissapointing things

The Birth of the boy bands - and things like Brittney Spears.

Paris Hilton releasing an album

P-diddy/puff Daddy- what ever his name is.

MTV switching from music to all the crap they have on their now.

Todays 15 + teens and young adults claiming they are "punk" because they shop at Hot Topics and wear a sex pistols pin.

Answer 7

Whenever people started thinking that the rock you hear on mainstream stations nowadays is good. I mean Van Halen was mainstream back in the day and they were good but when you start thinking bands like the All American Rejects are actual rock bands then thats where i draw the line. I'm sorry i didn't list the 9 others and i know im not gonna get the best answer, but i had to state what i said because people thinking this new mainstream rock stuff is actually rock is killing me.

Answer 8

In no order:



Nipplegate

Gene Simmons's reality show

Diamond Dave out of Van Halen

Buddy Holly's death

Talking Heads breakup

Too many sucky band "reunions" (aka We Need the Money tours)

Col. Parker agrees to manage Elvis

The invention of the CD... 'cause every band thinks they have 78 minutes of music in them, when they're lucky if they have 30.

MTV debuts The Real World

Oldies stations ditch 50s music to make room for lame @ss 70s soft rock on their rosters.

Answer 9

John Lennon's assassination. Sorry, but nothing else even comes close, not even Elvis's death.

Maybe, maybe the closest is Buddy Holly's death.

Even though Ritchie Valens and the Big Bopper died as well, Buddy Holly held the most promise of a legendary career.
