Remove a band from each decade?

If you could completely remove a band from the following decades, who would it be, and why? Or, if you think the band should have been, or would have been better in a different decade, you can list that too. Basically, who didn't fit?

1960s

1970s

1980s

1990s

And now.

Update:

And, if you have no clue, say something to make me laugh. I need it. Have a great day! =]

Update 2:

Haha, awesome idea, Eleni.

Update 3:

80's Man, I would single handedly get rid of all emo bands if I could.

    1960's : The Beatles ( can't stand them, just like 80's Man can't stand The Stones.. lol)

    1970's: hmm, tough one, but if I had to pick, I would say Pink Floyd, they are just too burnout for me

    1980's: Heart, they were great in the 70's... but just declined in the 80's

    1990's: Nirvana... too overrated

    00's: My Chemical Romance, do I really need to explain?

    1960s: Ten Years After should be placed in the 80s, very similar style to Van Halen.

    1970s: The Cramps were way before their time, music hasn't even caught up with them yet in my opinion.

    1980s: Stray Cats should move back to the 50s, them playing rockabilly and all.

    1990s: The Gits should move back to the 70s, they are like the punk version of The Runaways with Mia Zapata's vocals.

    now: Yeah Yeah Yeahs should move back to the 60s, very spaced out music with a lot of garage influence.

    70's..Eh, Grateful Dead? More like 60's I suppose...well, later, but, just...not a big fan? Not to say others should suffer because of that.

    80's...Rick Astley. Well, for short, the Rick Roll song...No explanation needed. The dancing in that movie is epic though.

    90's..Limp Bizkit and them forming. Terrible...lol. Spawned a generation of rap/rock kids to later decimate music even further. MTV spring break song of choice if I remember correctly. Either that, or the macarena.

    Present? Nickleback. Need I say more? Or Chris Daughtry. His voice...The same as every other rock singer on the radio. "I'mmmahh COMINNN HOMMEEE" With emphasis on the word pain, it's hilarious it just comes off as jovial. "This pain is a different kind of pain..oh man this pain.."

    great question.

    I would love to take massive bands from the 60's like the Beatles and dump them in the 90's to see how they would be accepted now-a-days...then again would bands around today sound the way they do without the influence of bands like the Beatles in previous decades....aaargh my brain hurts.

    Anyway I would get rid of:

    1960's- its difficult uuum...Barbara Streisand (yes she was around back then! and she was rubbish!!!!)

    1970's-The Bee Gees...yuck, they just sound as if their jeans were way too tight...which they were from the of some of the pictures.

    1980's-ABBA...truly horrible, I know most people like them but I just think they are rubbish...dunno why, oh yeah...and Madonna

    1990's- too many to mention, not a great decade for music...I would have to say...U2, don't get me wrong they are a pretty good band (overrated) but it was there early stuff which was good, when Bono head exploded under the weight of his ego in the 90's their music got rubbish.

    Bands I would like to move to different decades-

    Jimmi Hendrix Experience- like to move forom the 60's the 40' or 50's...can you imagine, a black man, playing crazy loud electric guitar in that era....it would blow their faces off!!!hahaha

    1960's - Herman's Hermits, made a lot of remakes and sound ridiculous today

    1970's - Bay City Rollers - Cheesy and would it make a difference?

    1980's - The Pretenders - They should be and in my head are a great 70's band! Lets back them up a decade

    1990's - Spice Girls - Delete and no one notices!

    2000's - Foo Fighters - Again....back them up to 1972 and have them tour with Zep!

  • 1 decade ago

    60's - The Monkees (Would anyone really notice?)

    70's - Chicago (I like brass, but they have WAY TOO MUCH)

    80's - Yes (Their music (sound) is depressing to me)

    90's - Red Hot Chili Peppers (Just not interesting to me)

    00's - My Chemical Romance (must I elaborate?)

    Now, let's take bands and put them in different decades:

    50's - Led Zeppelin (Imagine Whole Lotta Love against The Beach Boys Little Deuce Coop?)

    60's - Metallica (Master of Puppets vs. Satisfaction?)

    70's - Rammstein (Takes the place of Led Zeppelin)

    80's - Aerosmith (Could have been moved up one decade)

    90's - Queen (Can you imagine in today's society?)

    00's - AC/DC (Something good to pass to the next generation.)

    That would definitely change the face of music today!
