Artists that you don't think get enough credit.

[Keef]

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.

Sultans of Ping FC. I played their first LP "Casual Sex in the Cineplex" for the first time in ages the other day (on a C90 cassette) and it sounded as thrilling and vibrant as ever.

They should change their bank then........................Geddit.

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.

A chap called Keef......:)

[Sue]

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

[Moos]

Is thread only for musical artists?

You could say Rolf Harris and kill two birds with one stone Moos

"Too little birds (with one little stone)".. love that track.

[citizenED]

Is that a song about birds that are really, really small *Bob*?

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).

[citizenED]

Surely, Sophie, "Where's ME Jumper?"

[sophiesofa]

oh good point and my mother will be so so angry

[hellosailor]

If Keef is allowed Natalie Imbruglia can I have Phil Collins?

Or a step too far?

[*Bob*]

I'm sure Keef would be more than happy with that allocation.

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.
