Flattering Comparisons

The Beatles - AABA/Verse-Chorus-Bridge song structures utilizing a harmonic pivot to transition between song sections.
Steely Dan - Slickly produced, harmonically complex pop for piano and guitar.
Everything But The Girl - Dance rhythms and electronica stylings linked to traditional song structures and instrumentation.
Roxy Music - Technically limited vocals embodying a mature, cosmopolitan worldview.
Keith Richards - Crunchy, augmented 3rd, Telecaster rhythm guitar riffs which slip the beat from the snare drum into their back pocket and go for a ride.
Elmore Leonard - Characters and dialog lifted from an Elmore Leonard novel.
