It's fine if you don't like EC.. but it's hard not to recognize the breadth of his work.

Let's list a few genres he has done significant work in...

punk/new wave
soul
country
Tin Pan Alley pop
reggae
rock
blues
jazz
classical (string quartet and even a ballet)
torch songs
etc etc the list goes on...

My taste in music is EXTREMELY broad and fairly deep and EC is one of the few artists that even comes close to touching on a noticeable fraction of it.

I'll give you the Traveling Wilburys...

I love me some Wilburys. Otis Wilbury is one of my all time favorite artists and producers. A seriously underrated talent outside the business.

He was the one who got Nelson, Lucky, Lefty and Charlie T. Jr. to record together in the first place. (although others claim it was more Nelson's idear)

Purely influence it has to be the Beatles. Can't say I'm a huge fan of either, but I understand each ones contribution to the music industry.
