    so you're telling me a band who's covers (Ice Cream Man, You Really Got Me, Dancing In The Streets, Pretty Woman, etc.) are as well known as their "hits" should be regarded on a different level than Grandmaster Flash??? Please explain

    Wow, are they really as innovative and important as Van Halen?!!

    GMF and the FF basically invented rap music- I think that's pretty damn innovative and important.

    What does "GMF" stand for? Goodlife... something or other, I assume?
