    Not that cryptic but then I'm 34. Kudos for the double jump though, great video.

    He's never been underestimated by the critics but his importance in rock & roll's often forgotten by them wot aren't critics. I go through phases of playing Buddy Holly stuff but not a massive amount. Very talented guy though.

    Don't know for sure but i'd imagine buddy would have been around first.
    beatles original recordings sound far better than buddys
    thats all i'm basing that on

    I did read that the Beatles were individually and collectively influenced by Elvis, Everlys and Buddy .
    If you listen to the Everlys ' Temptation ' you can see were 'A Hard days night ' comes from ' and a lot of Buddys guitar riffs are very similar to early Beatles riffs ie , ' All my Loving ' .

    There is a case to be made for Buddy Holly being the most important of the early rock pioneers, primarily because he wrote and performed his own material and was involved in the arrangement and production side, an unheard of thing for artists at the time.
    What's even more impressive is how influential he was when you consider that his career really only lasted two years (1957/1958) before the infamous Winter Dance Tour of 1959.

    I've said it often enough...if Buddy Holly had lived, we'd probably be saying Elvis who?
