@jtpfreak I'm sure you've been called a dolt for the commentary, so I'm trying to refrain. Nilsson was an INFLUENCE on the Beatles, and later he collaborated with all of them. They were friends and contemporaries. If you told Lennon that this guy was ripping them off, I'm sure he'd waste no time in setting you straight on things. It just makes me sick that someone is so quick to dismiss one of the greatest contributers to music the last 50 years has had.

No, you are wrong

@DominoGray LOL. "act all superior" That was funny, thanks for making me laugh. "Isn't everyone's opinion valid? The answer is a stern, No!" You got that right, because nobody cares about your opinion.
"I still argue with people who like Nickleback because it's my prerogative to represent it. What is obnoxious is when fucks like you act all superior" Nobody asked you about your prerogatives, henceforth it is YOU who act superior, thinking you have the right to impose you opinions onto others.

@chotchcas How funny was Lennon? :)

No one is an 'authority' on music. No one is an authority on anything beyond absolutes. It doesn't mean that arguing over it isn't appropriate. I still argue with Right Wingers and people who like Nickleback because it's my perogative to represent it. What is obnoxious is when high tower fucks like you act all superior, while ironically engaging in the exact same futility.
'Isn't everyone's opinion equally valid'
The answer is a stern, "No!".

This song made me buy 'The Point' and really set myself as a fan of Nilsson.

These comments on who is better than who are so pitiful, if you enjoy music, just shut up and listen to the music. Music is a form of expression and it comes from inspiration, the Beatles didn't start being great, they were kids at the beginning, trying to get a break and only from years of hard work it could be achieved, originally they made covers and wrote songs based on those band and singers they liked at the time. All musicians have their predecessors to thank.

Nilsson played his songs BEFORE the Beatles played their songs. And the Beatles said so.
John Lennon thought Nilsson was the best group he had ever ever heard because Nilsson recorded using multi-tracks of himself harmonizing to himself.
Paul McCartney thought Nilsson was the best American pop vocalist.
Both thought he was the best American pop composer.
It's good to read before you speak.
