Buddy Holly more important than Elvis???

[Brian]

WOW Brian, I didn't think you could say anything positive about Elvis. I'm impressed.

that's actually not true

I'm misunderstood

[ehollier]

that's actually not true

I'm misunderstood

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. You were just JOKING!!!!!!

[Brian]

Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot. You were just JOKING!!!!!!

I'm not joking

everything I've said about Elvis in this thread is just 100% factual and true

I think my opinion on Buddy Holly is a great one

[shelley.m.]

Elvis "kicked" open the door for other white Rock artists in the 50's.

[rocknroll]

I think if Buddy Holly had lived he wouldn't of had this great career with a bunch of hits like so many people have speculated.

even his last few singles released before he died weren't charting all that high and it seemed he was moving away from rock n'' roll

I think Buddy Holly would've had a few more hits going into the 60's
his band member Sonny Curtis wrote ''I fought the Law'' in the early 60's so I can see Buddy recording that before Bobby Fuller.

I do think Buddy just like all the 50's rock n'' rollers would have been blown away by the Beatles and the British Invasion and just like that Holly's hit making days would've been over.

I do see Buddy continuing to record albums and experiment with his music but none of this music would sell.

I basically see Holly doing rock n'' roll oldies tours with Chuck Berry, Little Richard and Fats Domino.


To Elvis credit he's the only one of the 50's original rockers to have continued success in the 60's and 70's and the only one to survive the British invasion.

Elvis had something like 114 top 40 hits throughout his career and numerous hit albums. If you were to combine the record sales of Little Richrd, Chuck Berry, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, The Everly brothers, Bo Diddley and Buddy Holly Elvis outsells them all with a lot left over.

We'll never know.

I like Elvis more than Buddy: looks, voice, everything. BUt everybody has a different opinion.
Both gave something especial to music history. Maybe... Elvis had more time.

I think my opinion on Buddy Holly is a great one

.....and misguided.

[Brian]

We'll never know.

I'm pretty sure that Buddy Holly would've had the same problems the other rock n'' roll pioneers did.

[Brian]

.....and misguided.

watch it rock n'' roll

my opinion on this is great

[LtCarman]

Brian, your opinion isn't always the best. As a matter of fact, no one's opinion is the best. An opinion is just an opinion. You can't force it down on others. Same goes for you Rocknroll. Just because you do not agree with Brian, does not give you the right to call him misguided, no matter how much you do not agree with him.

End of story.

[rocknroll]

I'm pretty sure that Buddy Holly would've had the same problems the other rock n'' roll pioneers did.

You'll never know. I think the facts of his early career point to a different conclusion than the one you come up with.

[rocknroll]

watch it rock n'' roll

my opinion on this is great

Misguided, not great.

BUDDY HOLLY DESERVES HIS PLACE IN ROCK N' ROLL HISTORY JUST LIKE ELVIS!!

Personally most people deserve their place in history. Partical credit may or should go to someone or another but most people got where they are on their own and deserve it.

Brian, your opinion isn't always the best. As a matter of fact, no one's opinion is the best. An opinion is just an opinion. You can't force it down on others. Same goes for you Rocknroll.

Well I feel so much better now that LTCarmen told me and rocknroll how it is

Didn't say my opinion was the best it's just great

Your opinion may be great to you and everybody else that agrees with it, but it may not be great to anybody else that does not agree with it.

Is it just me or do threads seem to get side tracked more often than not?

[Brian]

Misguided, not great.

I think your misguided if you think Buddy Holly would've survived the British invasion.

The other 50's rock n'' roll pioneers were talented to but they fell by the wayside in the mid 60's and I don't see why Holly would've been any different.

[rocknroll]

Same goes for you Rocknroll. Just because you do not agree with Brian, does not give you the right to call him misguided, no matter how much you do not agree with him.

End of story.

Open your eyes, or learn to read. I didn't say Brian was misguided, I said his opinion was. Comprehension not one of your strengths?

However, you ARE misguided. PM me if you aren't sure what that means.

[franny]

that's actually not true

I'm misunderstood

What makes you say that?

[rocknroll]

I think your misguided if you think Buddy Holly would've survived the British invasion.

The other 50's rock n'' roll pioneers were talented to but they fell by the wayside in the mid 60's and I don't see why Holly would've been any different.

My opinion is he would not only have survived the British Invasion but thrived. Holly was a talented musician, songwriter, producer, performer, etc., etc. It's the ones that were just "entertainers" that didn't survive.

That's my opinion, and it is the greatest.

[rocknroll]

Your opinion may be great to you and everybody else that agrees with it, but it may not be great to anybody else that does not agree with it.

Is it just me or do threads seem to get side tracked more often than not?

Side tracked by you and your weak attempt to tell somebody off.

Me? I'm still talking about Buddy Holly.
