I can't believe that one of the most important people in music only has this thread and no replies.

Does anyone actually like Buddy Holly here?

I love his songs, a great songwriter that made magic out of simplicity yet set he set the standard for how rock and roll would be made and performed. His influence on the rock world is almost immeasurable, with many major acts like The Beatles, Bob Dylan, Rolling Stones etc etc all being immensely influenced by him and all being huge fans of his music.

Forget the fact that he died early and 'oh, what could have been', think about what he did do, which was a lot more in 18 months thatn a lot of other people managed to do.
