Subject: RE: The Songs that most influenced you
Well, that is certainly an interesting variety of song influences.

I agree, Peter, that "Graceland" was absolutely remarkable. Quite an accomplishment. The Beatles also did many songs with an indelibly unique sound and they changed the World, but I was a bit standoffish to them at first, cos they weren't "folk". I was a real folk snob when I was a teenager.

Of course, Dylan wasn't exactly folk at a certain point either. He was the one who most succeeded in broadening my tastes, and I did eventually get to like the Beatles, Hendrix, and others outside the folk genre.
