KISS ME KRIS

I liked Yoko’s solo album. It was pretty unique for the time and influenced a lot of music I also enjoyed.

But yes, she’s A Bit Much.

Yes, we have feathers--but the muscles of men.
The Beatles is so fundamental to like every band currently around that they remind me of a Bob Odenkirk joke about how The Gap should just be called “Clothes.” Most music seems to be on a Beatles spectrum, either approaching or going away. I guess you can say that about whatever and I’m just a big idiot though.

Do they really have much influence nowadays? Guitar music is kind of off in a side room from the mainstream party these days & while it's far from dead it's definitely as irrelevant to the mainstream of popular music as it has been in decades.

I'd imagine Kraftwerk would be a far bigger influence/reference point for the reams of electronic music around today.

And the mercy seat is awaiting,
And I think my head is burning,
And in a way I'm yearning,
To be done with all this measuring of proof.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth,
And anyway I told the truth,
And I'm not afraid to die.
Suicide is the most influential band for modern music.

The Beatles may not be influential to a lot of artists in a super direct sense where someone like Dua Lipa will call John Lennon an influence or you will listen to If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power and tell Halsey was listening to a lot of Rubber Soul when she wrote and produced it, but the Fab 4 are definitely gonna be in those artists' musical pedigree whether they realize it or not. Like that Halsey album was produced by Reznor/Ross, and NiN was inspired by the Clash, and the Clash wouldn't exist without Helter Skelter.

But by that sense the Beatles also wouldn't exist without Chuck Barry or Roy Orbison, so I suppose everyone can argue that if you go back far enough, all artists owe their musical legacy to Bung, the first Paleolithic man to hit two sticks together rhytmically.

“I was much more affected by Freddie Mercury’s death than by Lennon’s”, said Trent Reznor in 1992. But what would the first death be without the other?

Yeah this was kind of my point. And I agree that it does get kind of reductive after a while.

I don’t even really like the Beatles so idfk. I like Eleanor Rigby.

Kraftwerk were listening to the Beatles when they started booping the boxes. And their pre-electronic days draw largely from the same creative pool that spawned the Beatles. Esp in the 60s, the Beatles were a global presence.

People also forget it the was the Beatles and Rolling Stones that launched the first wave of "garage bands" and the roots of punk.

People forget that Lonnie Donegan & the whole skiffle scene democratised music and made it seem something viable to get involved with for a bunch of working class lads from Liverpool.

If we're going back to "everyone was influenced by someone influenced by The Beatles" then why stop there? Why not go back to Buddy Holly? And then Hank Williams and then whoever influenced whoever influenced Hank & so on back to west Africans before the Atlantic Triangle was a thing?

Or yeah, to Bung.

We have reached the point where we all start saying the same thing as each other, but phrased slightly differently, and we are all nodding at ourselves when we post that and shaking our heads at the other people posting the same, slightly reworded, thing. Our posting influence is Pitchfork, although the case can be made that ultimately it is really Rolling Stone Magazine

I found out recently that Eric Clapton didn’t actually murder his infant son, it was just something my parents joked about so I thought it was real.

Phil Collins definitely wrote a song as part of a sting operation to guilt a concertgoer into confessing to a murder while police waited in the wings to arrest him, though. :hmmyes:

He did however go into a big rant quoting a National Front (a far-right movement in the UK in the 70s & 80s) at a concert, which includes enough racist slurs that I won't copy it here but the opening bit was "Do we have any foreigners in the audience tonight? If so, please put up your hands. So where are you? Well wherever you all are, I think you should all just leave. Not just leave the hall, leave our country. I don't want you here, in the room or in my country." Class banter.

Still enjoy his work with the Blues Breakers & Cream though.

I saw some article about Clapton's COVID denialism bullshit recently which included a quote about he'd finally started talking about politics which made me laugh given that rant.
