No not like “hey Janis Joplin would’ve been great in the grunge era.”  
 

I was reading outliers, which is a book, I know I’m a nerd, and one of the factors of success is when you were born. If Bull Gates were born ten years earlier or later he wouldn’t have been the founder of Microsoft. 
 

So I’m looking at Taylor Duane.  If she was born like 5-10 years ahead of Madonna would we even know who Madonna is?  I wonder if Taylor thinks about that?

 

or in the country genre, if Jodie massina came out before Reba, would Reba had been as successful?

Always wonder if the Replacements would have actually sustained if Paul Westerberg had been about 5-10 years younger.  A whole bunch of guys who ripped him off real good made a lot of money in the decade after the Mats hung it up.

Chris Robinson born 20 years earlier would have jostled with Plant and Daltrey for the Pantheon.

But it begs the question if the artist would be the same without the earlier time being an influence. An earlier Tailor Dwayne might be doing singer-songwriter confessional instead of dance pop.

Billy Ray Cyrus was born about 100 years too early. Unfortunately, I had to endure him and his daughter.

Disagree with Miley. She would have killed it in the early 80s rock/punk scene, pre-Nick or whatever channel her Dad exploited her on.

Yeah, I've said it many times, but she's totally legit.  She has a ton of talent.

You disagree that I wish she was born after my lifespan? It wasn’t in reference to her “talent”.

Singers born at the right time, for us I guess, Chris Cornell.  Can’t imagine him doing disco or something.

I could totally see him in 70s album rock though
