* In 1981, [[Led Zeppelin|Jimmy Page]], [[Yes|Chris Squire, and Alan White]] got together as the band XYZ (which stood for "Ex Yes and Zeppelin"). They wanted Robert Plant to complete the lineup as a singer, but after he watched a rehearsal he decided he didn't like the direction they were going in. Due to not having a strong vocalist, as well as some debate over who would manage the group, they split up before getting very far. Demos of four songs surfaced though, two being instrumental and the other two featuring Chris Squire on vocals. In a roundabout way though, if XYZ ''had'' happened, Yes' ''90125'' might not have.

* Steve Perry left [[Journey (band)|Journey]] in 1987 and the band went on hiatus for nearly ten years. However, Neal Schon and Jonathan Cain tried to find a new lead vocalist to front the band and record a new album, and the most likely candidate at the time was none other than [[Michael Bolton]]. When they were unsuccessful, most of the songs they'd written ended up on Bolton's album ''The Hunger''.

* When Bobby Gentry sent in seven-minute eleven-verse song named ''Ode to Billy Joe'' explaining the life of Billy Joe [[Mc Allister]] and why he jumped off the Tallahassee Bridge, the record companies insisted that she cut it down to the length of a single and most of the verses were removed. To this day, we still don't know what Billy Joe tossed off of the bridge and why he jumped.

* [[Lady Gaga]] was very very close to becoming another piano based singer songwriter of the theme of [[Delta Goodrem]] and [[Alicia Keys]] had she not been dropped from her recording company at the very last moment. The rest is history.
