How did you know that:puzzled:

BUT. This music is where all music is based, African, S:American Asian. European I've not heard you mention the Mountains, that's what influenced Mozart :D he also has a role to play if your baseing your argument on this music

Dylan also says he was influenced by folk, country, rock "N" roll. He managed in his OWN way to bring it all together and INFLUENCE other artists. :smug:

P.S. It's good music to chill-out on though

ah, you make assumptions based upon a few tracks from 1 set I played to demonstrate just how wide musical influences can be to one pair of DJ's ( i quite like their work), my mp3 collection is over 2000 albums, cd's in excess of 700 and thats just from last 15 years, vinyl was probably about 600 albums before i sold the whole collection. theres everything in there ( no beathles, dylan, stones or pink floyd before anyone asks) so i had lots of choice :) check my previous post, you'll find William Orbit mentioned, his reworks of some of the claasics are well worth a listen, the production is up to date and the combination of that and the track makes it more interesting to me, how about opera?, puccini maybe ??theres lots of influence in dance music from his work. we've all been influenced by what we listen to, you just happened to be Dylan and The Beatles but music covers a very wide spectrum and its hard to know exactly what does influence anything.... :) just enjoy it for what it is:)

You wouldn't happen to be a Music Professor would you Gizmo :D

Nope I've just been a big music fan for a lot of years and have now stopped looking for meaning or making it anything other than listening pleasure :)

thanks for a bit of fun on a boring day stuck in the house anyway :)

Me too

Did you watch the Documentary. I was hoping they brought it up to the present. Stopped at 1966. Or was that an old program.

what about Rick Waller?:sing:

:devil:What about the Beach Boys/Brian Wilson,extremely influential amongst musicians and made the Beatles pull their fingers out of their arses'.Bob Dylan is great but surely just an update of Folk/Country songs?

Nah,the punk rock explosion did it for me.
Kicked everyone up the a55!:cool:

Howling Wolf, Leadbelly, Champion Jack Duprey, Albert Collins no-one has mentioned the blues yet, or jazz, try Thelonius Monk for starters.
