Heh... I try to be a good guy who holds civilized & respectful conversations with everybody. I troll very little and my trolling is only light-hearted comedic-jabs when I do, but I have the capacity to be utterly viscous and diabolical. I recommend keeping that cage locked.

Stating music died in 1959 is utterly ludicrous and Judge Judy's eyeroll is all that needs to be said. If you want to pay homage to some pre-1960's music & musicians, awesome... Go nuts... But music died February 3rd, 1959 only for people who died February 3rd, 1959. Music has never been better for those who have lived beyond that date.

I'm only 40 and most of today's music is total crap.

In 1959, the 8-track cassette wasn't even invented yet. You had live music, tower radio relays or phonograph - which when compared with today's digital media has thoroughly terrible quality. Today, I can download pretty much any music ever recorded to my mobile phone, hop into my Jeep and it automatically starts playing through a Bluetooth pairing at pristine quality. The music accessibility angle alone obliterates that 'music died in 1959' assertion.

The Beatles and many other British rock artists worshipped Buddy Holly. he accomplished more in just two years than most artists accomplish in a lifetime.

Technology is better today but I'm talking about musical talent.

How is "musical talent" quantifiable for comparison? What could he do that no one since has been able to do?

(This conversation is approaching the same ambiguous hyperbole that saturates GOAT athlete conversations. We're inevitably going to end a simple "difference of opinion" stalemate.)
 
I created this thread to honor Holly, Valens, and The Big Bopper and not for a discussion of musical tastes.

Brah, have you never heard American Pie?
 
RIP, but I’m glad Waylon gave up his seat on that plane
 
I always thought Buddy did a really good job with this song.
Kinda out of character, but turned out nice.



 
I really enjoyed the Buddy Holly Story and La Bamba.

Have to give the edge in this to Gary Busey since he actually sang the songs and Lou Diamond didn't.

But enjoyed both.
