When I see them live and when I hear these songs I wonder how many different groups and types of music that this enabled. I seem to think that hundreds and hundreds of important artists and genres and albums and types of music go back to Buddy Holly. Would any of you consider that to be a correct if rather General and broad statement?
Rather foolishly I missed this. Yes, professor, I'd say it's certainly a correct statement. There is a select group of artists in the mid to late '50s who have been vastly influential on pop until this day. Holly is definitely among them. Who else? The Everlys, Chuck Berry... there can't be many as influential as these three. But any other Big Names are more than welcome.
