@dogsbalearics Hi! I 4 me, it´s not important who started 1st or copied who. I prefer to use it was inspired by... I <3 both... There´re many bands that had inspired by others, ex. Kraftwerk inspired Human League, Depeche Mode, New Order; A-ha inspired Colplay, Keane... I <3 the 80s. 4 me again, it was a golden era. Let´s celebrate the good music! Cheers!

@biladd mmm very interesting, you seem to know your stuff! I think japan were in a league of their own, listen to their albums, they weren not a commercial group, they wrote and played truly original and innovative music, not to reach a mass audience, or to achieve album sales. I dont know how you can compare them with these other groups or even put them in the same sentence

[biladd]

@isleoforkney hi, not comparing. just saying Inspiration is natural. Even Japan members had/have their musical preferences which inspired themselves such as YMO. I´m not selfish. My heart is big enough to admire + bands (similar style or not). & i think there´s nothing wrong bringing 'music for the masses'. People need good stuff. "If word is the language of the mind, music is the language of the soul". & the world is capitalist. Sylvian lent his song to an Armani Jeans commercial (2011). Cheers

What do you mean Nick Rhodes? I know he looks like him, but it's David Sylvian, lol. They do look so much alike though.

[biladd]

Hello, Rach84! lol I know pretty well who David Sylvian is!! Don´t worry! ;) I just said Nick considers this song (by Japan, right?! lol) as his favorite one, among many others. Nick also is a huge fan of David! Good taste, huh?! And paying more attention, there are differences between them! ;) BE VERY WELCOME!!!
