Weird Al is a talentless hack who just makes lame jokes using other people's work. Literally doesn't make any thing orginal himself. There's some who are worthy of being the modern day mozart and it's sure as shit ain't weird Al.
Alternative suggestions
Stevie Wonder
David Bowie
Thom Yorke
Kendrick Lamar
Björk
Surfan Stevens
Damon Alburn
Michael Gira
Trent Reznor
Dave Gilmour
David Bryne
And Andre 3000
How do you tag on lemmy?
Apart from all his original lyrics and musical arrangements, I guess this is true if you, y'know, ignore all the other original music he releases.
If being stupid and ignorant was your life goal, you've succeeded wildly.
You couldn't scroll past this meme without letting us know your music preferences, it must have been hard trying to resist the urge.
for all we know, so was mozart
I wouldn't say Weird AL is a talentless hack but you are right, he plays other people's music and not known for anything he's written. It's not fair to compare him to a composer. Weird Al is more like a member of the orchestra.
