What would be the worst thing that could happen to music besides it being gone? Like if it was prohibited or corrupted by business or something of that nature. Give me some ideas.

I liked what mrsgavanrossem (above) had to say and that's quite right. The 1970's is a good example of what went wrong with music. After rock was a proven format in the 1960's the corporations moved in in a big way took over and practically dictated every note. That's why the 70's is so "polished" and lacking in spontaneity (for the most part). 70's music still doesn't hold up very well today. Spontaneity is the life and soul of music. Without that it's just a candy shell.

One thing: becoming completely mechanised and lacking in spontaneity - this is happening already, been happening in the rock and pop scene for ages but it's starting to infect the classical repertoire, so that most people have never experienced the excitement of listening to a live recording and the faults are carefullt re-edited in the studio, thereby removing the soul and spontaneity. (If you're into classical music, get hold of Beecham's live recording of the Sibelius second symphony and compare it with any studio version - it's hard to stay in our seat as Beecham and the audience build to a climax, and the burst of applause at the end ... well, go listen).
It's already beint corrupted by business, in the sense that performers are becoming 'personalities' even more than they were in the days of operatic divas and their tantrums. Another trend is that it's difficult for new artists to come in with the classical repertoire - not least because record companies now have large back catalogues and CDs are immortal, so it's easier for them to use their back catalogues.
But there have been times in human history when music has been corrupted - look at the experience of Shostakovich under Stalin, when his music was forbidden (he was even prohibited from obtaining manuscript paper, so his friends used to rule the lines for him) - and there were committees and edicts that said what was allowed and what wasn't. Shostakovich won that battle, I'm glad to say.
What grieves me most at the moment is the ubiquitous background noise that passes for music and is inescapable, even at times and in places where it's inappropriate - so that people become inured to it, learn to automatically ignore it, and you get shopping malls where two or three different shops are all blasting out their own 'music' in conflict with one another; which could damage hearing, as well as damaging taste.
Them's me sentiments, anyway. Bring back live performance, spontaneity, risk-taking ... and, where appropriate, silence.

It is already corrupted by business if you haven't noticed. The worst thing that could happen is everything fading out but commercial jingles and TV show theme songs. Imagine only knowing a song about Pepsi during Christmas.

What WOULD be the worst? Like, Britney Spears and Paris Hilton having mega album deals? Like, pop music, in general? Over priced cds? Music becoming popular because the "artist" (and I use that term loosely) is sexy? Dozens of "new" bands coming out that sound just like bands that have been on the scene for years already? The entertainment business is already corrupt. Rappers killing rappers, bands' lawyers pondering money, censorship of music, Tipper Gore (I love her husband, but stop censoring art!!!)? The worst has already happened my friends. We must fight our way out of it. Stand up to oppressively corrupt business and crappy "music." We need to rise above all this medocrity and win back our music.

Agreed. they are the worst music artists/actors contained in the heritage of the earth. I wager bands from the stone age had extra skills! Britt- there isnt a % of rock in them. If disney writes your music, and also you're on youngsters Bop. You arent rock. authentic bands have ability with contraptions, and vocals. They dont dance and do backflips on level. they sing their hearts out and play their contraptions with pasion. thats a real band. those are merely pretend disney wanna-be's

Disco music coming back in style. j/k Censorship and a lack of funds for the arts in schools. Without music in schools, we may have never gotten to hear some of the people who started their love for music when they were exposed to it in school.

the worst possible thing that could happen to music is Madonna making her own remixes of "smells like teen spirit", "american idiot", "comfortably numb", and "seize the day"
yes that would be bad
