Talk:1983: Doomsday/Culture 1

Musicians in 1983: Doomsday timeline
From the Celtic Alliance and New Britain pages, it's been established the following bands exist in TTL:
 * U2 (they almost HAVE to be the biggest act in the world in TTL)
 * Barbara Streisand
 * Barbara Dickson
 * Enya
 * Dave Matthews
 * Runrig
 * Sheena Easton
 * Shop Assistants
 * Christy Moore
 * Kate Bush

I've also established that the following bands and singers known in America probably survived in Australia:
 * Keith Urban
 * Savage Garden
 * Silverchair
 * Catherine Britt

Anyone else you can think of? Keep in mind they would have had to been in a non-bombed area of the world on Doomsday.--BrianD 02:11, November 7, 2009 (UTC)


 * Was Manchester nuked? If not then the members of Oasis might have survived and founded their group, though they likely would have a different name. --DarthEinstein 02:15, November 7, 2009 (UTC)
 * I think that's been established, Darth, despite a recent attempt to revive Manchester.--BrianD 01:53, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

Manchester was hit by a 2kt nuclear bomb and noal house woud have been close to the city so it inprobable the Noal would have survived --Owen1983 14:41, November 17, 2009 (UTC)

Of course, there would be bands exclusive to the 1983: DD timeline. Acts that wouldn't have existed in our world. Like The Four Horsemen or Doomsday. I bet there would have been a massive increase in the amount of emo, goth or death metal bands than in OTL. --Yankovic270 03:09, November 7, 2009 (UTC)

Maybe, as a way to address the phenomenon. I wonder though how today's musical trends would have developed, if at all, in TTL. You'd have a lot more regionalism, I think, in terms of pop music. Global music would just now be taking off. By the way, everyone, I do want to develop this idea in depth on down the road; right now, I'm working on U2 and some other projects, but I'd like to work on a database of pop, rock, country, opera stars, and other musicians who currently exist in TTL, and especially to get an idea of how pop music has developed in the last 27 years, and which regions (Australia, Brazil, Celtic Alliance, Singapore?) have the greatest influence on pop and rock music.--BrianD 01:50, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
 * A couple of thoughts - Keith Urban, though a country star in OTL, I would think is a pop star down under in TTL (he does have the looks and the voice to pull it off, and there's not nearly as much competition for him to fend off). Also, I'll do a Wiki search on Mexican, South American, South African, Singapore and Aussie/New Zealand pop stars. Those, IMO, are the most likely to be alive. And, maybe, we could have some Nashville country stars c. 1983 survive and live in Portland.--BrianD 01:53, November 14, 2009 (UTC)

And with Central Coast there is a chance that Weird Al is alive and making his unique brand of musical comedy. --Yankovic270 03:34, November 14, 2009 (UTC)
