#REDIRECT Behind the Music
''Behind the Music'' is a television series on VH1 that ran from 1997 to 2003, and continues to air sporadically with new episodes. Each show focuses on a musician or musical group, documenting both the successes of the musicians and the problems they faced during their careers. Each episode is narrated by Jim Forbes. VH1's criteria for choosing the musicians who appear on the show is, in many cases, to profile those who are no longer in the music industry, or were moderately significant enough in rock history to appear on the series. This is as opposed to VH1's other biography show, ''VH1's Legends'', which profiles musicians that have been very significant to the industry. However, there are some artists that were profiled on both ''Behind the Music'' and ''Legends'', including Tina Turner, Elton John, and John Lennon (although ''Behind The Music'' exclusively focused on the days leading to his murder in 1980). ==Musicians== This is a list of artists who have appeared in episodes of the series: {| |valign="top"| *Aaliyah *AC/DC *Aerosmith *Anthrax (band) *Bad Company *Badfinger *The Bangles *Barenaked Ladies *Bay City Rollers *Pat Benatar *Mary J.

I'd take issue that the artists profiled were "not significant to the industry", and in any event it's not the type of statement verifiable by any objective standard. User:Ellsworth 17:13, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC) : This is VH1's way of differing BtM and ''Legends''. ''Legends'' has the most significant artists (at least in VH1's opinion), while BtM has the moderately significant to insignificant ones (again, VH1's opinion). We could reinsert the section with such info on it being VH1's opinion and still be objective. The fact that some aren't in the industry any more is, however, perfectly objective. -- User talk:LGagnon 18:54, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC) :You're serious...VH1 considers ''Willie Nelson'' and ''Elton John'' "moderately significant" artists? What, pray tell, is the cutoff point? - However, if that really is their criterion, I spoze it should be noted in the article. User:Ellsworth 22:15, 27 Jun 2004 (UTC) :: Keep in mind, this is the same company that does MTV. They definitely aren't the experts on the subject of music. -- User talk:LGagnon 03:32, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC) ::Heh-heh-heh, you're right. Maybe we ought to also put that in the text of the article. User:Ellsworth 13:43, 28 Jun 2004 (UTC) Actually, I clarified the criteria statement to sound plausible and, at the very least, not to sound argumentive. User:Hiphats
