In my opinion Buddy Holly was one of the best and most influential early rock musicians. His sound was pretty hard to replicate and I read that they were considered the music industry's first self-contained band. They also wrote a lot of their own songs which to me, gets a lot of respect points. A huge contribution he made was his large influence on the "British Invasion" in music, which included The Beatles. He also was supposedly the first professional artist to choose a Fender Stratocaster as his first choice in guitars. Buddy Holly also was the first rock and roll star to wear glasses on stage, which persuaded John Lennon to keep his glasses on while performing. I really do enjoy every aspect of his music. The lyrics are still remembered today and his voice is pretty amazing. The guitar playing is really great and fun to listen to even when compared to modern musicians. The overall sound coming from Buddy Holly and the Crickets is revolutionary and timeless.
