Panic at the Disco discuss other Pretty. Odd. influences Enough with the Beatles comparisons! RollingStone.com has a flipbook that takes a look at other elements of music and pop culture that played a part in the creation of Panic at the Disco's Pretty. Odd. Among them are Bob Dylan, Alice in Wonderland, Irish folk music, renaissance faires and Federico Fellini. OK, and they include the Beatles' Sgt. Pepper's album, but that warrants a big fat "thank you, captain obvious!" at this point. On that note, I think I finally found one thing I liked better about A Fever You Can't Sweat Out — the Chuck Palahniuk references. I understood them. I see the point that Panic might open fans up to new interests (I know a lot of fans got turned on to Palahniuk because of Fever's littering of references), I just don't see myself deliving into Irish folk music or attending renaissance faires anytime soon. Or watching "A Clockwork Orange," for that matter — I despise that movie. What about you? Have you ever checked out something because it was referenced in an album? Do you think Pretty. Odd. will expand your interests at all?

i'm not sure how far i'd go with it though, like the books and stuff, i mean i might check them out one day but im not in any hurry.
one thing i do know, though, is that panic have influenced the music i listen to. they covered smashing pumpkins and radiohead when i saw them a couple of years ago, so i went home and checked them out and fell in love. i heard how much ryan loved counting crows so i checked them out too and now they're one of my favourite bands.
they also changed the way i look at music too. its not just something i listen to antmore, i apprieciate it more and been inspired to pick up more instuments and play them.
you know, i think id go as far as to say panic at the disco have changed my life.
i'd heard of chuck p and his work before but i actually picked up invisible monsters after a friend suggested it. about halfway through it i finally caught on that panic! songs were referencing it.
i actually kind of like the new album
although i'm VERY interested to see how they're going to combine new and old songs in their set list now. hmmmm...
Good point. If they do the whole "nature" theme, will the Fever songs translate? Hmm
That is a very good point! I'd like to see that!
haha well, either way. :P just saying though, I think it's great when artists can get others interested in things they may not have normally been into.
whooa i didn't knew Bob Dylan influenced them, that's awesome, cause i admire bob dylan's music, though i miss his show in my town...
