Why were the Kinks not as famous as say the Beatles or the Stones?

Why were the Kinks not as famous as say the Beatles or the Stones? Okay, so I’ve been diving deep into the British Invasion lately, and I can’t help but wonder—why aren’t The Kinks as globally iconic as The Beatles or The Stones? I mean, they gave us You Really Got Me, basically invented power chords, and their first few albums are next-level. Was it the U.S. ban? Bad luck? Or maybe their rougher, more chaotic …

( www.reddit.com )

What are some of the most famous examples of songs written about former bandmates? Either as a positive or a negative. A tribute or a diss track. Some examples off the top of my head Too Many People-Paul McCartney- an early example of a diss track. Paul McCartney calling out John Lennon. How Do You Sleep?-John Lennon-John’s not as subtle response song to Paul. All Those Years Ago-George Harrison-Same band, different type of…

What’s a special memory you have that’s involving a famous monument?

( www.reddit.com )

What’s a special memory you have that’s involving a famous monument? Some of mine: watching fireworks over the Eiffel tower for the French national day. Everyone was gathered out in the street at midnight watching the fireworks and cheering walking along the Colosseum in Rome with a street performer playing a game of thrones song. Made it feel like a scene from a historical show watching a ballet performance ins…

Famous songs written from the “we” perspective

Famous songs written from the “we” perspective I’m currently outlining a research paper relating to the use of first-person plural in popular music. It’s a difficult thing to search for deliberately as I try to build a bit of a database, so I’m wondering whether anyone could help with any songs that come to mind. Examples: Alright by Kendrick Lamar You Haven’t Done Nothin’ by Stevie Wonder B…

Is there a “parallel” music industry that just copies famous songs?

( www.reddit.com )

Is there a “parallel” music industry that just copies famous songs? While eating at a Chinese restaurant today I found myself having to listen to lots of famous, more or less recent pop songs (e.g., Taylor Swift – Anti Hero, stuff from Dua Lipa, Ed Sheeran). Something was off though. I first didn’t notice it, but then I realized: those songs weren’t performed by the original artists. Instead, it was all knockoff…

Famous Christmas gifts in TV shows?

Famous Christmas gifts in TV shows? I’ve been thinking about iconic gifts from Christmas episodes of TV shows – the things that you’d recognize even out of context.

What are some famous songs that nobody “owns”?

( www.reddit.com )

What are some famous songs that nobody “owns”? To clarify, I’m thinking of songs like “House Of The Rising Sun”. Songs that are fairly to completely mainstream, without a clear “original” artist and that has been covered so many times. Re-watching this incredible rendition of the aforementioned song is sparking this question. submitted by /u/Newber92
