BetaFunk Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) As it's 38 years (probably next Tuesday) since the Pre-Fab Four first appeared on TV what do fellow BCers think of the way they changed music and are they over rated. Personally i think that the song 'Joe Public' brought to the attention of a wide public sampling and was also a seminal piece in forming electronic music into how we know it today. For me, without The Rutles we would all be wandering the streets crying 'Where is the music?' Edited February 10, 2013 by BetaFunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GarethFlatlands Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 You are provably wrong they invented notes and everything. Before them pianos just played static. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

skankdelvar Posted February 10, 2013 Share Posted February 10, 2013 I've probably listened to about 13% of their output and I have to say I'm not that impressed. People say I'm not allowed to have my opinion because they're [i]influential[/i], but what about Wayne Fontana, Billy J Kramer, Adam Faith, Honeybus and The Marmalade? Totally groundbreaking. And as for all their going around with long faces when Leggy Mountbatten died? What was that all about? They should go and see a therapist.

BetaFunk Posted February 10, 2013 Author Share Posted February 10, 2013 (edited) I knew that there would be nothing...........................but praise for the Pre-Fab Four. I'm so glad that they decide to[sub] [/sub][s]share[/s] no, to give the gift of their music to us for without them there would be no music. No birds singing and pianos just sitting there unplayed with their keyboards just looking like black and white striped shelves. Although i'm sure that there is some sort of debate we could have about records sold and their far reaching musically influences the fact is that The Rutles were great because i said so and musically superior because i said so. How could such a group be over rated? P.S. Please see 'The Beatles' thread for the 'because i said so' bit Edited February 10, 2013 by BetaFunk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
