Why blame the Beatles for every band and their goddamn grandmother wanting to release their own Sgt Peppers album?? It's pathetic but the Beatles aren't "guilty". They can't control what other bands do.
Yea that's a good way to put it. It's what I was trying to say with the "too cool for school" bit.It just happens they were good and got ripped off by people who are probably technically more proficient but don't have anything to say.
The bands that "borrowed" come across as "musicians" as opposed to mediums spirit work through to get an idea across.
Like Jim Morrison, I consider him a medium and the lead singer for Maroon 5 a musician.
The latter lacks soul and sounds like a preset in a guitar effects processor.
He probably knows music theory and well golly gosh darnit he just *has* to [sophisticated British accent] sing a pentatonic scale in B minor flat because that's what "musicians" do really [/sophisticated British accent].
Fiona is in between that imo. A musician and medium.
Her last album Fetch the Bolt Cutters is her best work yet. I had a couple people who aren't into Fiona listen to it and admitted they dug it. Which means you'll like it too and become a hardcore Fiona fan and regret ever not wanting to be her dog.Fiona Apple I do not like
