So you see that you agree with me, what have I said so far? That they have only influenced those who make the same kind of music as them.

Mingus, Davis, Coltrane who are they?
Even God is often subject to criticism.
But the three sacred ones, no, they cannot be touched.
But let's stop pretending to be know-it-alls, I’ll criticize whoever I want.
Anyway, if you are really convinced of your idea, why don't you give me the names of some singer or song that has references to these three sacred monsters?
Since they wrote the history of music, I think it shouldn't be hard for you.

Another great musician was Earl Hines, who in my opinion is superior to the three sacred ones. But who will influence today? And above all, how many know him? As good as he may have been, his musical story will certainly remain of enormous prestige, but ultimately for its own sake.

First of all, I'm not a kid. Then, Beatles influenced by Mozart? It's more likely Queen, considering they mixed opera and rock. Mozart doesn't really influence anyone! I know hundreds of Italian singers, and I assure you that they don't even pay attention to Mozart when they have to compose a new piece, and the sacred trio doesn’t even know him! The first thing they do is listen to songs by Queen, Led Zeppelin, AC/DC, etc. It depends on their tastes. And they try to draw inspiration here and there. People like Mingus, Davis, Coltrane are great for learning to play, very useful if included in a CD for music lessons. But not for drawing musical inspiration. This is my opinion, not the truth.

compared to Mozart, but not musically, rather as characters.
I love both equally, I know them very well, and as people they have many things in common. (something even in music)

but it's like saying that Mozart is more influential than Queen or the Beatles. Mozart was a genius like no other, he wrote history, but it's a history that can only be useful for those who do the same genre as Mozart. The same goes for the three sacred ones. They can't influence bands or singers but will only influence those who perform the same music. Meanwhile, the Beatles and Queen can influence many more people in the musical realm, but I reiterate, this doesn't mean they are better. It just means they carry more weight among the common people. The world is made up of 90% common people.

I know the 3 "sacred" ones. And for heaven's sake, no one questions their qualities, even if they are not even remotely my favorite genre. I just say that overall, in terms of quality and popularity, Led Zeppelin, Queen, The Doors, etc., are much more important for someone who wants to start singing, but only because they are so popular that everything about them is known, and consequently, one can learn and assimilate more knowledge. Meanwhile, Mingus, Davis, and Coltrane have a lot of quality but little popularity, at least among the general public. It's also a rather pointless discussion because they are such different genres that any comparison would be inappropriate.

Are Queen overrated? Come on, let's be serious.

Do we want to test who knows these three artists better, Mingus (piece of shit), Davis, and Coltrane? I didn't say they weren't great artists, but simply, they haven’t written any history (it's different); actually, they wrote it, but it's almost anonymous. Try asking 100 professional Italian singers how many know these three artists. Mingus, Davis, and Coltrane are unknown to most, which is why their musical history will always remain in the shadows and will never be equivalent to the history of the Beatles, just to give another example, even if musically the four Beatles were inferior. History, in order to be important, must be known by everyone! But do you think there are more artists today influenced by the Beatles, Queen, Led Zeppelin, or by Mingus, Davis, and Coltrane? Well, I think the answer is obvious. This is history!

ah..poletti, poletti. I believe and hope you were joking! Bob Marley, Mingus, Davis, Coltrane, and these would have made history? And where have they ever written this history? Together they don't even amount to 1/10 of the musical, cultural, and historical importance that Queen has left behind. If millions of people love rock, glam, metal, opera, pop, and hard rock, it is largely thanks to Queen, who among young people are perhaps the most listened to band of all time, and thanks to them, listeners can get closer to other great artists. Queen is a fundamental lesson in music for anyone who decides to delve into higher quality music. Queen is almost a essential passage! Then you might like them or not! Forget Bob Marley (who I also like), Mingus, Davis, Coltrane!
