mr.drummin Posted May 12, 2006 Share Posted May 12, 2006 I appreciate what Buddy Holly did for music, but not a big fan of their music to be honest, Elvis on the other hand is just plain overrated! imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I, like artfromtex, blame the imitators etc.for those of u who dont get the picture, he was lying on his face, in front of the unflushed throne, as is fitting for the king, with a big OL' chunk of cheese burger , sphincter stretching stool protruding from his enormously bloated ass, pumped fulla ups, dead as can possibly be.

Robert Johnson surfaced in the 60's, when Rock N' Roll was on it's way down.Um no... Robert Johnson died in 1938. He was poisoned by a jealous bar owner and never recovered. His songs have been covered by Led Zeppelin, Eric Clapton, The Rolling Stones, The Red Hot Chilli Peppers, and many more. Just visit a web site about him. The Movie Crossroads was inspired by him as it was a legend that he made a deal with the devil for fame--- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chicagocoma13 Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Robert Johnson released 11 albums (78rpm) before he died. Then throughout the years people discovered recordings that were never released. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then throughout the years people discovered recordings that were never released.So? He got zero exposure until '66.Did you know that when Columbia Records executive John Hammond got a hold of Johnson's recordings, and showed them to folk fiends Dave Van Ronk and Bob Dylan, neither of them had ever heard of him? And these guys knew everything about Blues music. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicagocoma13 Posted May 18, 2006 Share Posted May 18, 2006 Zero exposure until the 60's. Get real. He was one of if not the most famous delta blues artist of his time. Do you think everyone in the world completely forgot about him until the 60's. In 1961 not 1966 there were some recordings released that made him more popular with the crossover audience. His music lived and was appreciated by many people before that. I'm sure many of the mentioned artists would have heard his work. And nobody knows EVERYTHING about the blues. Robert Johnson is often regarded as the most influential guitarist of all time. When the Stones first heard him they could not believe it was only one guitar playing. That was something special about his style--you could swear there was more than one guitar playing. The zero exposure comment is ridiculous but I am done arguing with you---thanks anyway Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
