ITT: Alternate universe musical moments. Alright, check this out. Before the release of the Blue Album, Rivers Cuomo is stricken with depression. He decides not to release the album yet. While recovering, he writes all the material from Pinkerton. He decides to combine these two albums to create the greatest alt-rock album of all time. The critical acclaim makes him continue to write music like this to this day. If only....imagine this track listing: 1) Tired of Sex 2) Say It Ain't So 3) No Other One 4) Holiday 5) Across the Sea 6) In the Garage 7) El Scorcho 8) Pink Triangle 9) Falling For You 10) Only In Dreams 11) Butterfly What are some other, "what if" moments in music.

I was just saying they are the 2 best Pendulum albums and it would be cool if they made an album similar to either one, or maybe a mixture of both

I've always believed that if Weezer ended after Pinkerton they would be considered the greatest band of the 90s, and one of the best of all time

Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill them All never hires that white guy to be their manager. Consequently, they stop catering shows and merchandise for rich, pale angsty teens. Their current music is at same quality as before they were signed. They become the greatest hip hop group of this decade.

>>25213087 If I remember right, Kurt Cobain dropped out of high school and the only job he could get was as a janitor, at his old school. Also say what you will about the band, Kurt's taste in music was awesome.
>Nirvana never gets past just playing a few small gigs locally >Kurt has to stay as janitor at the school >Alternative rock never gets popular and just stays like it was in the 80's >You're going to school in Seattle in the early 00's >There's this older janitor there, a lot of the kids either make fun of him or ignore him >You fell kinda bad for him >You start talking to him, making friends with him >Tells you that you can call him Kurt >Reminisces about the days when he was in a small sludge-pop band with his friends >Shows you all these bands from the 80's and 90's were obscure in this reality, like Belle and Sebastian, Weezer, Dinosaur Jr., Elephant 6 stuff >He shows you his beat up guitar from his youth days when he played in a band called "Nirvana" >You become the closet thing he has to friend >You talk about music, he shows all these really cool records he loves from from his massive collection >Mid way through senior year he kills himself >You're the only one at his funeral aside from an ex-wife and a strange bald homeless man called who keeps going on about how brilliant he his >Kurt's will leaves everything to you, which is mainly a ton of milk crates of records and his old guitar >You start up a band a couple of years later with some friends you meet >You play lead on Kurt's old guitar and tour with these other recent small college rock bands, meeting them, like this strange guy who makes you call him Avey, even though his name's David, and this soft spoken kind of depressed guy Elliot The Duke of Prunes !/Ih/icXptA

David Baker isn't a huge douchebag, the rest of Mercury Rev love him, and he never leaves the band after Boces. The band keeps putting out great crazy experimental-psichedelic-noise-pop albums forever.

Noel and Liam Gallagher keep their fucking mouths shut and disband after (What's The Story) Morning Glory?, Andy Bell reforms Ride, Blur settle their differences straight after recording Think Tank and make another album, then disband following the painful and graphic death of Alex James after having a block of cheese forcefully shoved into his ass by Joe Strummer, who is then diagnosed with a heart defect, which is subsequently treated.

Jim stops using all non-alcoholic drug use. >Jim returns to California in 1975 to record An American Prayer with composer Lalo Schrifin. The album is critically applauded and later becomes /mu/core. >The Doors reunite to record a new album, "Lizard Palace", a collection of experimental songs and cabaret ballads dealing with themes of the fragile nature of life. Though highly publicized and anticipated, the album fails to reach a mainstream audience after it's 1978 release due to low radio play. >Jim decides to leave The Doors to realize his dream of recording spoken-word poetry. The remaining members decide to disband. >Jim Morrison's mainstream popularity fades with his looks. By 1982, he has abandoned performing altogether and focuses on writing. In 2001, he scheduled to make the talk show rounds to promote his autobiography. On United Airlines Flight 175 he dies during the events of September 11th. >Ray Manzerek becomes a composer and gets steady work, but is always "the cheaper alternative to Danny Elfman" >Robby Krieger and John Densmore retire to their families. >The publicly perceived "patriotism" of Jim Morrison's presence on one of the planes boosts sales of his novels and poetry and propels him to become one of the most successful authors of the 20th century.
