Singers born at the wrong time

[closetohumping 17442]

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.

Man just imagine if you were born before spell check

[Underdog 28633]

Just think 5 or 10 years earlier and Keith Richards may have gotten devoured by Dinosaurs.

Dying.  I blame surly auto correct.  Who is Taylor Duane

I don't know, but I bet she plays a mean slide guitar

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.

You should tell it to her heart?  Maybe if she had gone by Duane instead of Dayne she would’ve made it bigger

[G650 14256]

I will absolutely forever call her Taylor Duane from here on out.

Amy winehouse

I’ve often wondered what hilarity would have ensued if Dee Snider had been born in the 30s

[Herpa Derpa 6126]

I bet GG Allin would have been a hot ticket during the Eisenhower era.

[DixonHur 11304]

I'm guessing that much like Bull Gates and Taylor Duane, we wouldn't have heard of them if they were born too early or late.

Sounds like a white DB from west Texas.

Talk about born too late

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.

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

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

I could totally see him in 70s album rock though

Greg Davis was born 50 years too late.

All those years in Madonnas shadow helped preserve her youthful looks
