    Buddy Holly may have only written 1/3 of his songs but so did everyone. Albums consisted of some self-written music and covers. This didn't change till the mid 60's.

    The ponit of the matter is, you have yet to give an example of major rock & Roll artists from the late 50's who didn't write the material except for Jerry Lee Lewis and Elvis, which I have allready pointed out. Until you give me examples, we can only assume that most artists wrote and...

    Look, the amount of artists I list is irrelevant. You specifically wrote that before The Betales for rock artists to write and perform their own material was uncommon, and I have specifically proved that is not the case. If you really want I could list tons more artists from the mid to late 50's...

    erm no. The majority of rock artists were writing and performing their own music. In addition to Chales and Berry, Little Richard, Fats Domino, The Crickets, Bo Diddley, The Everley Brothers etc. So all in all the only major rock performers from the late 50's that weren't writing their own...

    I don't care for Rush. But I especially don't care for Neil Peart. When I go to a concert, I don't expect to listen to some gay-ass 5-minute drum solo which only gawky, greasy haired classic rock geeks appreciate. I don't care how many hours worth of songs they may happen to play, they still blow.

    Ray Charles and Chuck Berry made it popular, if not to the same extent as what The Beatles did.

    I haven't once said it is a "either/or" situation but you're making it out that I have. Many of my favorite artists are very technically able, but just because they don't wank over their instruments and chose melody over showing of in their compositions makes me appreciate their music much more...

    No, I was not the person who brought up Meg's drumming. Masherbrum was the guy who brought her up because he said he doesn't like trhe White Stripes because shes not a very technically able drummer. Songwriting ability is a much more important aspect to music than technical ability. Let's...

    Pearts' Drumming = teh suxx I'm right, you're wrong. It's okay, I'm just a more cognizant person than you.

    Whatever. I just find it quite sad someone doesn't like a band I like because if the fact their not very technically able, whilst completely ignoring their actual songwriting ability.

    Shes more tasteful than Neil Peart because she doesn't wank over her instrument. I thought I allready made that clear, and no, I did not suggest that if you're not "just keeping a beat" its wankery. Bill Bruford and Phil Selway are very technically able drummer, yet they don't wank over their...

    You're reasons for not liking The White Stripes were that Meg White isn't a very skillful drummer and that Jack White was placed #17 on a greatest guitarists list. Those are the most pretentious reasons I've heard of somebody as to why they don't like a band. Personally, I decide how much I like...

    As a matter of fact I am in a band and I do go to lots of gigs. But my point is the main objective of a drummer is to keep a beat. So what if she doesn't wank over her instrument like Neil Peart. She's much more tasteful than him.

    Best solo artist of the 70's

    Re: Who had the best solo career? LOL @ the person who said David Lee Roth. His solo stuff blows even harder than Van Halen, something which I thought was impossible to achieve.

    I still think you're reasoninng is moronic. Who gives a shit that the fact shes not as technically skilled as someone who wanks over his instrument like Neil Peart. She keeps the beat, so she a 10/10 as far as drummers go.
