>I find myself playing "spot the influence" in many songs
i just hope FOW are paying royalties.. though I think the Cars or even Rick
Springfield would be too embarassed to
come forward and admit that a song like Stacy's Mom is one of their
unreleased tracks leftover from the 80s.>>>
My first reaction was, WHY would they be embarassed, it's a cool song! But
then, I thought, yeah, they probably would be embarassed, as would most
bands, because so many bands take themselves too seriously to let their
sense of humor out -- if they even have one. Maybe that's why I'll always
take the Who over the Jam - While both bands had passion galore, Pete and
company could be serious one moment and frivolous the next, moreso than just
about any other major act I could think of (except for maybe the Kinks). I
mean can you imagine Mick Jagger singing "I'm A Boy"...
