Yeah and Elbow has influenced hundreds of bands.    :roll:  [/b]

I think you may have me confused with someone else with that comment.....
 
 My point was simply that Weird Al, like the Beastie Boys, is simply a novelty/party act, and not this musical genius that some board members had stated regarding the BB..

The difference, of course, being that Weird Al is an acknowledged parody act, while the Beastie Boys are only such in the minds of some ignorant middle-aged ex-pat curmudgeons.

He did say "novelty/party", not "parody".
 
 Even when my tastes veered more toward hip hop and alt-rock than they currently do, I always saw the Beastie Boys as more of a novelty/party act, albeit a good one. Same for Weird Al, though not as good.
 
 Of course, you are right. They are not a parody act like Weird Al.
 
 So I guess I agree with ggw and mankie both. When's the last time that happened?

Yeah, but I still got to fight, for my right, to pa'a'a'a'rty because all I want is girls...to do the laundry, girls...and the dishes....girls....and clean the bathroom so I can play with my  brass monkey...a funky chunky!  :roll:
