How about the Beach Boys?

[vraiblonde]

I see what you mean but I think I had written him off at Billie Jean I don't think he is a genius. Bob Dylan, now there is a genius for you.

Michael Jackson is not a genius, but Bob Dylan is? :throwsuphandsindespair:

We're not talking about your personal preference - we're talking about bonafide musical genius and talent, regardless of whether you personally like their music or not. Bob Dylan is a cult figure, but he is not talented. Nor is Joe Cocker. Nor are any of the Eagles.

Freddy Mercury was a genius.

...uh, just to clarify, I can't stand Dylan and I never 'got it'. :shrug:

I still can't stand Journey

 

[Toxick]

Freddy Mercury was a genius.

I have nothing to add, but I thought the above should be repeated.



He was a total frickin' genius, and had the vocal cords to back it up.

...

Freddy Mercury was a genius.

...yeah that.

 

[mAlice]

Freddy Mercury was a genius.

Yes.

 

[Larry Gude]

...

I still can't stand Journey

...no one can. Not really.

 

[morningbell]

yes, YES Freddie Mercury!

 

[Toxick]

And speaking of geniuses...

... I can't believe that no one's brought up Lizzy Borden yet.















Or Styx.

Who is Lizzy Borden, besides the gal that gave her mother forty whacks?

 

[Toxick]

Who is Lizzy Borden, besides the gal that gave her mother forty whacks?

Hair band.
Lizzy Borden (band - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)


I was being sarcastic with that one.

 

[Larry Gude]

...

Who is Lizzy Borden, besides the gal that gave her mother forty whacks?

...deservedly obscure metal band.

Freddy Mercury was a genius.

Jackson was a performer, a great one..His biggest album was produced by Quincy Jones(a genius), with nothing arranged/written by Michael....Freddy Mercury was a performer and arranged/wrote alot of his music along with other members of Queen, he was way closer to a genius than jackson ever was. Dylan wrote some great lyrics and played the recluse genius to the max.

I know you had a hard time moving on after Scott McKenzie's San Francisco(wear some flowers in your hair), but you really should leave the 60s.

Since we have a handful of cultural infidels who don't like the Beatles and/or Elvis (freakin' Al Qaeda terrorists), what say you about the Beach Boys? (Or, as my ex used to call them, The Beach Old Men )

I love the Beach Boys and think they are geniuses.

LOVE them! I forget to check this section of the forums, so I'm going now to look for the poll on Elvis & Beatles.

 

[BS Gal]

Yes.

I have heard of him, but never listened to a song that I know of. Great music! Is it all like that? I loved it.

Good lord!

Good lord!

BS deserves the title "Cultural Infidel" on that one.

One of my faves.

BS deserves the title "Cultural Infidel" on that one.

We should revoke her green card for that one.
