dAVe80 Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Having mentioned it, here's one for you (Mods, if you want me to start a new thread let me know)... Fantasy Festival. Three nights, five bands each night, pick your ultimate line up for a festival. Go... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apart from Queen as we all know they are pants Well to a certain extent surely. For instance, take the U2 blokes; Larry Carlton could play anything that The Edge(?) could play I guess. Steve Gadd could play anything that whoever the U2 drummer is .. but they couldn't play what Carlton and Gadd can play. So I guess that makes the latter 2, better musicians. Vocalists - definitely subjective. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rugeley Villa Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 What makes a band better than another band? Musicianship, or the end product? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes that's a great point and probably best illustrated by The Beatles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several bands with superb musicianship, but it's all a bit meh when listening to it. It's not to say musicianship is overrated or it's all meh, but sometimes it feels a bit meaningless. Being creative and progressive outshines anything that's being played at the highest standard. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
