I would not have liked Billy Joel if it were not for the sax in "I do I do", or David Sanborn or Candy Dulfer or Manhatten Transfer. I would not have liked heaver bands like Pat Benatar or Metallica, if it were not for the riff in "Mama Mia" or "On And On".
Then why are we still talking about them? If they sucked so bad, no one NO one would remember them, much less do covers or remakes or sample them.
