Eddiebaby don’t be such a Victor Meldrew.
Hey, I like some, even including the one I posted that may be not quite as ‘first view’ as would be suggested. But some are massively ott. And that’s why I don’t watch them much.
If it encourages people to find new music then fantastic. As I said I’ve found vocalists I’ve not heard of before. I suspect the next led Zeppelin cover band gig I go to won’t be full of rap fans who saw an influencer doing a reaction to Stairway.
We shall see.
The Kinks is a good shout but I'll throw this one into the mix. Pays homage to Chuck Berry, the originator of rock & roll whilst introducing the sparse, minimalistic production template that would go on to shape hip-hop via the production duties of Rick Rubin at Def Jam. Back in black's got it boxed n' locked. Still sounds bang up to date.
if there’s ever going to be a rock revival it’ll happen on you tube first
Lordy, I can think of 2 good reasons I’ll be glad to miss that! 🤪
