Not 1 post about the death of Adam Schlesinger. WTF?

Since his death on April 1, there hasn't been 1 post on this forum. Maybe this isn't surprising as he wasn't really a "spotlight" kinda guy. But his contributions to music, film and television are on a level few have ever reached.

The guy was a musical genius, a songwriting master, and a top-tier producer. It goes way deeper than just his band, Fountains of Wayne.

 

I am such a huge fan, and his death hit me as hard (maybe harder) than Neil's.

 

Look at all he's done: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Schlesinger

 

Listen to this Album: "Traffic and Weather" by Fountains of Wayne.

Then listen to it again. It's a masterpiece, and easily in my top 10 albums of all time.

 

Any other fans out there?

Ok, so 1, buried on page 20 of RS. None in the MOTS forum.

 

well you did say not one. regardless we are all sad about his passing.

 

in that thread i mentioned starting a musical mass grave as its hard to keep with the musicians passing lately.

 

for instance no thread about manu dibango , who was imo way more influential than adam.

 

also ellis marsalis passed recently too.

 

glad you made this thread .

 

may he RIP

I'm not surprised there wasn't a thread for him though. Him and his music didn't come up too often in discussions in that section. So, I guess there weren't too many fans of his on here.

 

I heard about his death when it happened. Very sad indeed but I can't say I knew anything from him outside of the song Stacy's Mom from Fountains Of Wayne.

I'm sorry, to see, hear, and read this. My condolences, to his family, and friends. R.I.P., Adam.
