I'm sure there is a thread about Elvis, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Mowtown, Beatles, Stones, Floyd, Velvet Underground, Bowie etc. Did what we know

jandyt: Sorry Mark, I know very little about popular music, English or American. However I know that an awful lot of pop music is influenced by classical music. Andy T.

jandyt: Sorry mate, you're way off. It wouln't depend on any of those factors. Think about where the light that entered the lens came from and when. Andy T. I'm not going to be drawn! - explain!
