Faith No More, still iconic but they were supposed to be as big as RHCP was. Now people just see them as a one hit wonder.

Ciara, not my type of R&B, but it's baffling how she never got as big as Beyoncé or Rihanna.

Dead Prez was supposed to be the next Public Enemy

Not me. Come Away with Me is one of the best albums of all time.

Wasn’t Peter Frampton on the rise right before disco took over everything?

I'm going to get ahead of this one and say Billie Eilish....The song is fun, but she was presented as the next big singer, and she is not.
