Al wasn't a good suggestion for Mozart IMO. But if you're saying he isn't historical, think again. Also he doesn't "just write parodies", he actually composes his own music too. Only half or so of his songs are parodies. He's more well known for them, but he composes his own originals as well & he writes them all. Just because you prefer Skrillex as a musician to Al, doesn't change the fact Al is more historical than Skrillex.

Al has impacted pop culture as well as history. He deserves an ERB, if Justin Bieber & Skrillex can get in a battle & Adam & Eve, can go against each other in a battle... Why the hell not "Weird Al" Yankovic?! I'm only 15 & I know Al will be just as much if not more remembered than Skrillex in the future. Now don't get me wrong, Skrillex is a great musician, but all I'm saying is Al DOES deserve a battle. He won't only be remembered for "his era", the 80's I'm assuming you mean... He has already had 13 studio albums & working on a 14th. 2 of his songs from his latest albums have made the greatest impacts of his career. "White & Nerdy" & "Perform This Way" have both reached amazingly high positions on the charts, especially considering they are comedy songs. He may not have as many Grammy awards as Skrillex (Al has 3 & has been nominated 9 times) but he is still very much ERB material. That is my arguement why "Weird Al" Yankovic should & deserves to be in ERB. Not trying to be rude, just state my opinion. Thank you :)
