risingson Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 It's certainly on of the forum's more depressing 17 page reads. So in the spirit of keeping things civil, here's a song for us to enjoy by the most influential and overrated band of all time http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P-Q9D4dcYng Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lowender Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Bach has been the most influential musician of the last 400 years. Yet, you may not "like" his music. That doesn't mean he is overrated and thinking so is just ignorance and saying so is just posturing. Are we done now? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

risingson Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 (edited) Give it a rest now. 21 posts in and you're in at the deep end, post something constructive.

flyfisher Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 [quote name='Bilbo' timestamp='1360676519' post='1974363'] This is a semantic argument now.

fumps Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 [quote name='Perennial' timestamp='1360675014' post='1974312'] You shouldn't base your musical taste on a bands fan base. You've got it wrong from the beginning there pal. [/quote] erm did you read my post properly ? is it actually difficult to understand? [i]"One of the"[/i] part of a sentence usually gives it away to being more reason So in a way you have proven my point by not actually reading my post you just assumed that I'm wrong because I'm not a fan of the Beatles......pal !

flyfisher Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 [quote name='Big_Stu' timestamp='1360676398' post='1974357'] Aaah, ...... you mean like Sid Vicious? [/quote] Could be, though I was thinking of Adam Clayton. Same principle though. But we'd best not digress or we'll be arguing about Mustang Sally or Brown Eyed Girl again. In fact, perhaps the mods should consider adding the Beatles and Mustang Sally to politics, religion and sexism as topics to be avoided lest it all descends into name calling.

[/quote] Who do you want to "document" it that would satisfy you? Yes, it is accepted by classical experts. Every other composer you mentioned were influenced by Bach. Any other questions? Admit it -- you're try trying to be provocative now. If you don't understand the Beatles or Bach and their importance, that's fine. But don't pass off a lack of understanding as insight. It's just silly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteveK Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Another factoid: 'I am the Walrus' has more than a dozen different chords (including 7ths, sus4, maj7, ?/?)... yet, not one single minor chord... all major.

risingson Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Great stuff.

Roland Rock Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 This is one of my favourites. This could almost be a Chemical Brothers song. How's that for innovative and influential http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spjcPS4ekOA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
