If we look at him in the context of the time he was the first ugly or nerdy looking white dude to break in pop music, which was really important in the grand scheme of popular music.

Better than Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis imo, but not as good as Big Mama Thornton, her original Hound Dog did what rock was capable of better than anything from the rest of the 50s

both
Importance in popular music: Massive.
His music: Bland even for its time.
Emo dude who needed to get laid. Wrote good pop songs. Nerdy too. Always fucked with production. On this track, he placed cardboard over the snare drum to get a flat sound.

Not as Emo as Roy Orbison however. He writes wrist cutting music.

Wasn't his wife pregnant when he died?
Upside: Great songwriter with tremendous potential. Downside: Dies in plane crash Upside: Would have ended up working for Disney cranking out crap and saccharine shit for soundtracks anyway so we're prob all better off.
Real loss is Otis Redding tbqh senpai. That next album or two would have been amazing.
Buddy Holly was excellent. He wrote a ton of great songs. It's hard to think of many artists who accomplished as much as he did in only 22 years.

This. Sittin on the Dock of the Bay is fucking unreal, I can't imagine an album of that caliber
>>60869897

Every single track in Otis's catalog is lit. Dude was flawless. Do you know the song Cigarettes and Coffee?

Legit as fuck.
legit

He wouldn't have done that, he would've gone country like his pal Waylon Jennings. Link Wray went country rock, so it's not like it's unheard of for musicians of that era.
It's a good song.
