================================================ Subject: Re: boyband/Britney Spears-Christina Aguilera syndrome From: "Lee Reed" To: Date: Tue 10 Jul 2001 14:55:08 -0400 ================================================ no hate mail from me, gina...you have a very good point...and to add to it a little, popular music goes in cycles...look at each of the past several decades...what was considered popular varies... Lee ----Original Message Follows---- From: Gina Kovach If you really think about it, a lot of bands/artists become inspired by OTHER bands/artists. Maybe all those so-called boy-bands had been afraid to go for a record deal until they saw Backstreet Boys. And even BSB wasn't original--they were probably inspired by NKOTB, who was inspired by Menudo, who was inspired by The Beatles and The Monkees...etc, etc. The same thing goes for Britney, Christina, Jessica, Mandy...and even Creed (well maybe just Scott S), because Scott was always listening to The Doors and to U2's "Joshua Tree" album. So I guess what I'm trying to say is that it's REALLY, REALLY difficult, if not impossible, for anyone to be TOTALLY ORIGINAL and uninfluenced by other artists/bands that preceded them. God am I gonna get hate mail for this one... ~*Gina*~ _________________________________________________________________ Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com To unsubscribe or change your preferences for the Creed-Discuss list, visit: http://www.winduplist.com/ls/discuss/form.asp
