As the title suggests, who do you think were important artists in the music world who have now totally lost their relevance?
Two that immediately come to my mind are:
Michael Jackson
Aerosmith

Did he fall on his head or something?

Agreed on both counts. Man..Aerosmith. Where do I start. One of the GREAT hard rock bands of the 70s. Their first five albums were EXCELLENT. The pop crap they put out these days makes me retch. |

Anyway, you've all listed some good ones, but forgot one of the biggest of them all, U2.
Also, U2, U2, and U2.
