"influence" does not exist

The cheeky insouciance of the posts to this thread would have been unthinkable before the genre-defining work of the Facetious Four.

Good point, la!

Now can we put a stake thru this thread and get it buried under running water?

I think it's quite an interesting question to be honest.

Oh stop being so bloody reasonable Tom!

― Marcello Carlin (nostudium), Thursday, 29 September 2005 08:26 (twenty years ago)

I think soul music probably had a greater influence.

YOU FUCKING CUNT THIS IS 2003 NOT 1984

― BLARSGH, Thursday, 29 September 2005 09:22 (twenty years ago)

Also it is worse noting that Paul McCarthny's melodics influence is clearly defectable on the great pops of the eightes such as postmen pat by john barry and ferry cross the mersey by stocks aitken the waterman.

― Comstock Carabineri (nostudium), Thursday, 29 September 2005 09:23 (twenty years ago)

CUNT PAUL MCCUNTNEY MORE LIKE WAKE UP DOZY THIS IS THE 9OS NOT YOUR PRECIOUS 19 SO-CALLED 1980S

― GRRRR, Thursday, 29 September 2005 09:25 (twenty years ago)

It is insurprising that conossiurs of pure pops adhere to the 80s masterpieces rather than the atonal coloured yelling contistutes most 90s socalled "pops" "musics." Who in their right minds would swaps A-Ha "Hunt You High Hello" for Julio's "Gangster Parasite"?

― Comstock Carabineri (nostudium), Thursday, 29 September 2005 09:29 (twenty years ago)

RACIALIST CUNT. THIS IS 1968 N0T 1864 YOU PUSILINANIMOUS BASTARD.
FUCK EVERYTHING EXCEPT WHAT I LISTENED TO YESTERDAY

CUNT.

― GRRR, Thursday, 29 September 2005 09:36 (twenty years ago)

YESTERDAY??!!! yOU ARE SO 10HRS AGO, YOU RETRO CUNT!!! tRY TO KEEP UP!!!//1!!/11!?1!

― Pashmina (Pashmina), Thursday, 29 September 2005 09:40 (twenty years ago)

It is ridoculous to make accusations of rascism when the facts speak for themself. Hip-op is inferior, rhythm-dominate sub-musics. Fact. Musics is not musics if there is no melodic factors. Fact. Paul McCarthny and Crowd of Houses achieve this better than any banging, cross underprivelege speel. Hip-op will be laughed at in 20 years just as we laugh at Al Johnson today.

― Comstock Carabineri (nostudium), Thursday, 29 September 2005 09:40 (twenty years ago)

What about The Clash? (ie, "phony Beatlemania has bitten the dust")

Maybe they were influenced subconsciously!

I can never understand why Beatles dick-riders aren't super-stoked about Duke Ellington & Bach in exactly the same why, always adopting a sad & somber tone about how the originator must be given funereal respect an' all

― Banana Nutrament (ghostface), Sunday, 2 October 2005 17:28 (twenty years ago)

GREAT INSIGHT MAN, NICE ONE, "DICK-RIDERS" GENIUS, YOU SHOULD WRITE FOR VICE

― MARKELLO CARLTON, Sunday, 2 October 2005 17:32 (twenty years ago)

I vote False.

down with the capitalists

ok, got that off my chest

the problem with this argument is the word influence. it assumes this band had no influences themselves. the beatles certainly sucked up everything that was around at the time - girl groups, motown, elvis, stockhausen - and used it creatively, i.e. not in poor imitation of the originals. so people who responded to certain elements in their songs might not be aware that they lifted that particular chord sequence from eddie cochrane.
they certainly inspired a lot of people to pick up a guitar, although after 76 that was as likely to be in a negative sense: 'we're not like the fucking beatles' (punk) - up till about 95: 'We're like the fookin beatles' (gallagher)
so no, you can't escape them, just like you can't unwrite shakespeare, but it's not true to say that every song written post 63 is influenced by them.
