Hi Everyone,
Tam, is anyone in rock or pop really original? I can't think of anyone after
the 50s, not even the Beatles or The Beach Boys, who is really original. The
Beatles and Beach Boys were always looking around for as many influences as
they could get to mix them together and create their sounds...ELOs
originality may be in the way they set their arrangements to those kinds of
melodies.
