i agree with your one statement; a good amount of current british music that gets hyped is just bull****
drum fills > drum solos
Nickelback get way too much hate; Creed doesn't get enough
the Sugarhill Gang was ****ing great
Jaco Pastorious was a magnificent and uniquely beautiful musician, but he was also an egotistical smartass and it was a near miracle that he lived as long as he did. and yes, i know he had mental problems/was on drugs
Flea is not the best bassist. same for John Entwistle. they're both really good, mind you, but nowhere near being the best in music.
John Entwistle had skills, not arguing that, but i hate his tone in some songs
any popular artist who dies early is bound to have
-an increase in record sales
-a slew of new "fans" who only know them for a few songs but will worship and talk about them endlessly, not knowing anything about what they stood for
-alot more hype for their music than they ever deserved
