Each band or performer is graded on four things:
1. Innovation
2. Influence in my life--as a typical American
3. Integrity: the band's approach to music (just making a buck or honing a craft?)
4. Immortality--am I, a typical American--still eager to hear their music
9/4/7/3 = 23 out of a perfect 40

A WIP.
Very interesting! I think that, despite our age gap, you might be more familiar with music from the 90s onward than I am. Still, good solid pick- and I predict that in a few years, when their time comes, Radiohead will be a mortal lock as a Hall of Famer on their first year eligible.
ReplyDeleteA relatively recent act, They Might Be Giants, pretty much sums up the place of bands outside the '60s. One is constantly reminded of how many acts one doesn't have time to check out sufficiently these days.
