Well, duh!

Black Sabbath isn't Black Sabbath without Ozzy (well, technically it is, but we all know it isn't) though some of the stuff they did w/o him was alright (but not bloody brilliant, as was the stuff with him

).

Ozzy--god
Dio--good
Tony Martin--god awful

Yup on the first two, but not on the last. More humour could be had if we said:
Tony Martin - good god! awful!

Well, maybe not.

Wasn't the original topic who would we WANT to see unplugged, not who we wouldn't?
But before I get to that, isn't the claim that music is these days is worse a copout? How much cheesy pap was there back in the fifties, sixties, and seventies, and as long as there's been music? That kind of crap has always been around. Watch Amadeus.
That being said, I would love to see Eminem unplugged. Why? Listen to how he says what he does. Do you know anyone else in the pop world who is as openly self-examining and self-critical? Whether you like his creations, let's not call them straight music, he forces an opinion. Can anyone tell me how a montage was originally created and what the purpose of it was?
Besides, Eminem's original claim to fame is supposed to be his freestyle skills. Who wouldn't want to hear someone that's supposed to be the best at what they do?

My pick: Matchbox Twenty.

It depends on how you stated your argument, headsplice. You might be right either way.

Sounds good to me.

Sometimes in order to move forward, the old must be swept away completely. Yeah, kill most of the stations. Most of them (by far, most of them) suck heinously, and are whores for whoever has the biggest promo budget.

Remember when Payola was a scandal and triggered a Federal investigation? Now it is simply a way of doing business, just like any other form of crime.

eah, but most of that stuff has unplugged tiself so we no longer have to worry about it. However, we do have to listen to the modern equivalent and can therefore wish for it to be unplugged.

Oh my goodness......Pat Metheny is a GENIUS. He and Lyle Mays are, IMHO, among our greatest contemporary composers. His complex and brilliant melodies and dreamlike orchestrations.........well, I just cannot imagine anyone with an ounce of passion in their heart not being awed by his work.

Since we're not limiting this to bands, but are allowing soloists, I'll attempt to incur some wrath with the suggestion that Celene Dion be silenced.
