Being a musical genius doesn't help much with packaging music to be consumed
Some know how to do the latter better and the general public judged popstars on entertainment more than musical abilities anyways
there are plenty of talented singers/songwriters/musicians sitting in music conservatories/acamedies as we speak
Ie:prodigies who play beethhoven at age 7
But could they craft a hit song or a classic album ahead of its time? Are they marketable?
Alot goes into being a popstar especially one that is remembered fondly - I really think that being a genius isn't high on that list for the casual music listener...
it determines how we determine genius though in my view. Is genius one's technical skill on an instrument that is typically virtuoso level, is genius making the most simple songs accesible or is genius a package of everything?
To me genius is the innate ability to move people through your creations and being able to craft pieces for others that also move people, technical skill is worthless if people aren't moved by it, just look at yngwie malmsteen on guitar, guy is a f***ing machine yet guitar players would rather a***yse and listen to hendrix, clapton, van halen or gilmour all of which are less technically renowned on the guitar.
the BBs and beatles are both genius imo, they were able to craft numerous songs throughout multiple eras that moved people, influenced people and became engrained in pop culture, past and present, who is more genius is a pointless question because being a genius can't be measured
that's a bunch of bs from me but that's just how i feel when it comes to discussing genius
The bass on here she comes
