Would petitions with suitable numbers stop artists from recording?

[Ziggy Stardust]

Yeah, I know it wouldn't happen, but one can dream, right?

Say a petition convinced Nickelback to retire..... dreamy.

Also great would be the utter end of the Black Eyed Peas....

Sigh.... like I said, one can dream.

[The Black Guardian]

I'm completely sure that if this were possible, we'd be forced to endure the crappiest music imaginable everywhere.
