"The early Marc Bolan albums I suppose pretty much invented 'freak folk'."

i figured when that lot started going on about the 'old, weird america' they were talking about hoyt "floyd" ming and his pep-steppers, and not marc bolan. could be wrong on that though.

A kid I went to college with was really into the idea that "Taxman" basically invented Beck.

Taxman invented Television. feel like Beck (at least Odelay era) was more influenced by Them, to the point of sampling multiple times.

@qualmsley - I will check out that sequence! lol @ the image of AC being inspired by a Yes album that came out in 1999, but I believe it based on that previous Anderson clip posted.

also, one more AC thing = "Melt the Guns" by XTC is uncannily similar to AC's Here Comes the Indian, particularly "Native Belle."

That takeoff after the sad, slow first verse—it’s what the word rollicking was invented for. The song invented the word.
