| Quincy Jones Interview minori, "for the record:""The Beatles were not very good musicians. That is a fact."You also said it is "well-documented" that the Beatles were not good musicians. Could you give us five or ten examples of this "documentation?" | |
| Quincy Jones Interview Minori, just so we're on the same page here, I was using this definition from the internet:a person who believes that their tastes in a particular area are superior to those of other people."a musical snob"So, how could it not apply to your posts? | |
| Quincy Jones Interview No, they weren't. McCartney, while not the "coolest" Beatle, wrote many of their finest songs. And he wrote the most popular ones, which bugged Lennon to no end. | |

| Quincy Jones Interview The early Beatles were rough around the edges but they were quick studies. Just listen to their third album, A Hard Day's Night--a pop masterpiece if there ever was one. I'll take it over Thriller. | |
| Quincy Jones Interview I read that interview yesterday and considered posting it here. Thanks for doing so.I checked out the tune that he mentioned in the beginning (the great BIllie Jean ripoff). I think I have a good ear and a clear understanding of copyright law bu... | |
| Standout track on an album I like her cover of Cold, Cold Heart on the Hanks Williams tribute album (Timeless). Many fine and interesting covers therein by a variety of artists. | |
| exceptional voices of female singers (non-classical) The thing about Linda Rondstadt is that she has made her voice work in so many different styles--Mariachi, jazz standards, Gilbert & Sullivan, plus contemporary pop, folk, country, rock, blues, you-name-it. Pretty amazing IMO | |
