But maybe it's better this way.
Well to quote the other bit, LB is not unbeatable on songwriting. He is a better songwriter than Vito or Burnette or any other member of this group (apart from Peter Green & Chris McVie obviously). From the point of song structure, arrangement and melody, not sure on lyrics though, some of them seem very much something you would find on a school essay. I've always thought he struggled lyrically.

Anyway, in terms of unbeatable? I doubt it.

LB's strength is as a "package deal" as he might say. Arranger, guitarist, singer, writer etc etc. He is very gifted in many areas.

I saw Prince last week and gotta say he is right up there at the top, in terms of the complete package. You may not like his music but I can't think of anybody in the business with a command of more talents then he has.
