I would normally agree but not when it comes to MB. Big artists like Little Richard or Les Paul are hardly ever mentioned. For me MB is about exploring new music, and all my life I've been in the dark- about everything. The past week and a half I learned about Buddy Holly, Little Richie, Les Paul... I didn't even know who the Jackson 5 were before MB.
My point is I'm learning about the god's of music much later then all the cult classics. I think if ToeAndno didn't mention them nobody ever would... ever.
