Jigga please.

Impact, sure. Talent? Not the best at all.

I wonder how the members of those bands would answer that question?

They would probably say they were heavily influenced by the Beatles, sure.......But if they tried to say the Beatles were better than them, then it would just be false modesty IMO.

I'm no BeatleManiac, but for fuck sakes, Styx? Kansas? Over produced, formulaic, big hair, stadium rock pablum. The Beatles B sides were better than anything those bands ever put out.

It's a good thing you know fashion, because your taste in music blows hairy chunks of dick.

I do, of course, mean that in the kindest way possible.

Styx.

Kansas.

Bwahahahaha.

Over-produced? Stadium rock? No shit, that was what 80% of bands were back then! Tell me something I don't know.

So then what did you listen to in those years? John Denver?

The other 20%.

The Clash, Zappa, Zevon, Black Flag, Jeff Beck- basically anything they wouldn't play on commercial radio.

Uh, when didn't they play that stuff on commercial radio? I remembered all of that stuff being on the air in the early 80's.
