Are we talking about the same artist, as in the 'in the mood' big band swing music?Glen Miller changed the scene wit the rank of saxophones. His sound was not derivative at all.
Just my opinion. The Glen Miller band were milking it though
IIUC, this is supposed to be about your vote for the top 3 acts of all time.. I.e., not just your personal favurites.. or those you think make you look 'right on'.
No you don't UC.
If you'd read the ****ing thread title it says "name your Top 3" of all time. Which is what I did. Apologies for not putting the Beatles as you'd no doubt have preferred.
The Pogues, Smiths and Ian Dury are 'MY' Top 3. As for no longevity The Pogues started in 1982ish and are still going, packing out any venue they care to play. The Smiths are clearly one of, if not THE, most legendary UK indie rock band of all time. Few would disagree. As for Ian Dury, I'm sorry his death after about 12 albums and 33 years at the top of the game puts him out of your frankly bizarre longevity and universal appeal categories, but the man was a poet and a musical genius.
There is good reason why I would put my 3 above the Beatles every day of the week. Excellent and successful as they no doubt are, I find they were strangely devoid of poetic lyrics, political protest or social comment in their songs, especially for a group active in the 60s (it was probably part of their appeal to be fair). However, these are the areas that are important to me in music. I ain't apologising for it.
