Well his remixes of the covers were definetly great. I feel that his
sister's vocals and his production put the original Greatest Dancer by I
believe Sister Sledge to shame.
I don't think so. Except for the initial curiosity, I would rather have
heard the record.
Rob
was not playing in front of a panel that would be picking apart his music
and
making connections such as how covers are related to rock sets or if doing
covers is innovative or not.
Or was he? Kidding, but your presence on this list is testament to the
contrary. People think about this music a lot. A LOT.
The point is Rob did what he was there to do
and he did it extremely well.
TRhere's no point in debating your taste. I was wondering what it means that
the phenomenon of "covers" have started to show up on the scene, in terms of
live sets and you haven't really addressed that by giving me your opinion on
this.
Now for discussion sake on this list I can see
where this topic would come up but to be disapointed in his set for the
reasons you have stated seems kind of rediculous...just enjoy the music
while
ur hearing it and disect it if you want later.
OK if you say so.
