[edit] NPOV
Recent edits have left this article heavily non NPOV ("at their best," "weird," etc...) Am fixing it now... Pacian 12:13, 12 Apr 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Off topic comments
The bit about the B-52's food choices (being vegetarian) seems out of place in an article that deals exclusively with the band and their musical endeavors. I removed the comment.
[edit] Apostrophe
There should not be an apostrophe in the title, because that is only used for possession or contractions, not plurals.
Example: I have two dog's. (Wrong) My dog's fur is brown. (Right) --anon
- But the apostrophe is in the name of the band. Yeltensic42.618 don't panic 02:47, 19 January 2006 (UTC)
- As much as I love Eats, Shoots & Leaves, the apostraphe is most definitely in the name of the band. You can see it quite clearly on the album images. So, while not grammatically correct, it is accurate. Plus, if it is changed here, it should be changed on all of the album pages, too. GentlemanGhost 15:31, 5 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Syd Barrett ???
Hmmm, honestly I cant see any reason to put in the body of the article such influence on Wilson's guitar style. Barrett himself resembles an older band, The Shadows, in many cases. Furthermore, Barrett's harmonies are still too linked to blues, instead Ricky Wilson's chords are very far from bluesy styles, and the same applies to most of New wave era guitarists. Maybe I would put this comment just at the end, as a note, if other WPs agree Brian Wilson 19:25, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
