Bob Dylan turned 80 today

[Illustrious Potentate]

The Stones got rutted when Brian died. I don't have much interest in their music if it was produced after he passed.

The Beatles did what they set out to do each time. There were no other avenues to pursue together.

The Stones two best albums came post Brian IMO(Sticky Fingers and Exile on Main Street)

There’s Elvis influence in a lot of the music I like, I don’t like Elvis at all

Most all great artists were inspired by Elvis. He opened the door for a lot of black blues musicians.

Mick Taylor was a great addition to the band.

I don’t like all the artists my favorite artists were inspired by. There’s Elvis influence in a lot of the music I like, I don’t like Elvis at all

Not even sun records Elvis?

 

[Nosferatu]

I can understand why people don't like Elvis, all they really know is fat lazy Vegas Elvis but he was fucking fantastic in the early years!

They’re less overrated than Queen, I’ll give em that.

Whether they are overrated or not is a different argument.

Most mainstream bands are overrated. Throw in an assassination and folklore, and that even makes it worse.

 

[White Knight]

Without Elvis, there would be no Beatles or Rolling Stones.

Preach Mozart.

Dylan might just be the most overrated dork in the history of contemporary music of the western world.

He wrote some good songs, but he should have let others do the singing.

I’ve written more songs than Elvis ever did

 

[Rex Racer]

Most folks would agree with me. Brian Wilson is a genius.

A genius you say

 

[White Knight]

I’ve written more songs than Elvis ever did

And none of them were ever recorded. I guess you suck as a song writer.

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

Without Elvis, there would be no Beatles or Rolling Stones.

Yes there would. Carl Perkins, Buddy Holly, Chuck Berry, Little Richard, Bo Diddley, Jerry Lee Lewis and all the old black blues singers were still there

 

[White Knight]

A genius you say

Yes, a genius.

 

[Rex Racer]

I’ve written more songs than Elvis ever did

Let's hear one.

I don’t make my living as a musician.

Elvis opened the doors for all of them.

 

[Illustrious Potentate]

Elvis opened the doors for all of them.

No he didn’t.

 

[White Knight]

I don’t make my living as a musician.

Not surprising to anyone.
