well i was 10-15 they evolved which most bands do to stay relevent but lennon and mccarthy were polar opposites its probably why they split
Board?
While this is somewhat accurate, Buddy Holly (and the Crickets, hmmm, Beatles-Crickets?) had a big impact on the Beatles. The same goes for each of their "innovations". They do get points for presenting these, which was their choice, but only partial credit because each was inspired elsewhere (including the hair cut). They are widely credited for innovating with the "two guitar" approach but I'd say that was inevitable (just needed two good guitar players to realize they could play off each other). They weren't just inspired by Holly's sound but his penchant for tweaking instruments and studio tools for a novel sound, which is exactly what the Beatles did to find their "original" sounds.
That one's easy. One is a rehash of other songs in its era, the other is iconic for its era. While I'm not a fan of all things U2, this match up is them by a mile (assuming it was a one mile race).
While that is true, give credit to the 4 for making musicians out of themselves and earning their spot in the culture.... just don't overstate their true impact within music.
The Pusher - It sounds like the era without being a rehash.
I enjoy how the two songs sort of tie into one another The Pusher peddling his drugs and how Snowblind Friend is about the effect of those drugs and the Pusher. I choose Snowblind Friend it speaks of abandonment, and addiction and the loss of love and family just a powerful message to me.
Huh?
Is Steppenwolf going to be listed as a "winner" if they really got a bye?
