First of all, the constant barrage of complaints concerning lack of innov= ation on the part of this or that artist has gotten tiresome for the Nth time w= ith me, and I'm sure a few others. Has anybody on this list invented any new = forms of music lately? No. So hush already. Second, if people can talk for days on end about supposedly relevant post= -rock bands that wouldn't know a funky beat if it gave them VD, then the rest o= f us can chat about ZZ Top. At least it's danceable, for Pete's sake. Third, Bowie may cop style from others, and Earthling may have been poo t= o a lot of ears out there, but he still makes an average of two or three keep= ers an album which is more than a great deal of our favorite artists do. If copping style from others is such a sin, then you've got a lot of work ah= ead of you- one hundred years of The Blues is lying out there waiting to be denounced as uninnovative copycat trash. Fourth and lastly, to whoever dissed the Rolling Stones- well, you can't always get what you want.
