I didn't want to get into this, but here goes anyway:
Jacob, you gotta go buy "Ventures In Space". Where do you think MoAM?
got started from? That and their TV themes album. You can tell they were
a big influence on the early MoAM?
The Shadows never wrote Apache, Sleep Walk, Telstar, or Hawaii 5-0
either....
Jan Wenner is a guy.
The Shadows have a lot of great songs, I wouldn't consider Flingel Bunt
their best. Man of Mystery rocks pretty hard for an early 60's song. And
uh, what about The Savage? FBI, Frightened City, Gonzales, Atlantis,
Apache...not all of these rock hard, and they didn't write all of these,
but they are great songs and very well played. I think they make Flingel
Bunt look kind of pedestrian.
It does kind of rub me the wrong way that The Ventures seem to be trying
to get into the RnR HOF, but I don't loose any sleep over it. They are
the FREAKING Ventures after all. They should be in there, no doubt about it.
