Ive always liked this song, but more than that, I think Natalie Imbruglia atually deserves a bit of respect as a musician, and is more than just another soap star turned pop star .


(Live)


Anyone else like / respect an artist, whom they feel doesn't get due credit, or taken seriously?

Nobody ever really got Mansun in the 90's.


Attack Of The Grey Lantern was/is an absolute gem of an album, but they were always overlooked for awards due to being entirely uncharismatic and blase to the point of completely not caring about the prospect of winning anything.


Highlights are 'The Chad Who Loved Me' and 'Taxloss'. Look em up on YouTube...

The Bluetones - most people that remember them (and that isn't many) think they split up ages ago, but they are still going, releasing new material and touring regularly, and they always put on a good show.


Perhaps they haven't yet topped their first album, but there are a lot of much less talented bands getting much more attention these days.

It is funny how things change because in reality back in the 1970s ABBA for instance were treated as a bit of a joke, naff and not very talented by anyone who 'took their music seriously' - and gaaawwd people did then - whereas now they are (rightly) lauded as great songwriters and artists. Still not my cup of tea mind.

I also think that loads of black artists from the 1970s certainly didn't get enough credit as only their highly commercialised disco stuff got any air play and into the charts. Listen to some early Commodores or Kool and the Gang. I don't think George Clinton gets enough credit either.

Christ there's loads of them, where to start :-S


OK one example, Rory McLeod, possibly MacLeod, f-ing brilliant, clearly someone is giving him credit as we can't afford him at The Goose Is Out! but who on this forum except for me has ever heard of him?? Used to be a busker and one-man-band :)-D

My favourite is 'where's my jumper' closely followed by 'kick me with your leather boots'. Takes me back (not the kicking anyone with leather boots part).

Yes it most certainly is.

I think the pair of you should be put into a padded cell, strapped to chair and forced to listen to Bewitched on repeat until you come to you senses. Mind you with taste like that you'd probably enjoy the experience.

      Oh David / Is David Lammy Toast?

      By David Peckham · Posted

      There was an excellent discussion on Newscast last night between the BBC Political Editor, the director of the IFS and the director of More In Common - all highly intelligent people with no party political agenda and far more across their briefs than any minister I've seen in years. The consensus was that Labour are so unpopular and untrusted by the electorate already, as are the Conservatives, that breaking the manifesto pledge on income tax wouldn't drive their approval ratings any lower, so they should, and I quote, 'Roll The Dice', hope for the best and see where we are in a couple of years time. As a strategy, i don't know whether I find that quite worrying or just an honest appraisal of what most governments actually do in practice.

      They are a third of the way through their term Earl. It's no good blaming other people anymore. They only have three years left to fix what is now their own mess. And its not just lies in the manifesto. There were lies at the last budget too, when they said that was it, they weren't coming back for more tax and more borrowing. They'd already blamed the increase in NIC taxes on what they claimed was a thorough investigation. They either knew everything then or they lied about that too .   They need to stop lying and start behaving. If they don't the next government won't be theirs, it will be led by Nigel Farage.  They have to turn it round rapidly. Blaming other people, telling lies and breaking promises isn't going to cut it any more.
