hIan Hunter, I know I bang on but I reckon, it's only when he's pegged it that he'll be apprecited for how good he actually is.


Microdisney era Cathal Coughlan, when he was good he was on fire.


Bob Dylan, not everyone's keen, but if you take 'Like a Rolling Stone' and 'Tangled Up In Blue' as benchmarks...


Ray Davis, is there a need to offer examples?


Joe Strummer, on his day, as good as it gets.


Shane McGowan, always a certain poetry amongst the drunk stuff, also knows how to insert sentimentality to maximum effect.


Johnny Rotten or was it Jamie Reid? Never mind.


Holland-Dozier-Holland. I can't help myself, nor should anyone else.


Lennon and or McCartney, when they worked together and when it worked, aah yes, She Loves You, if there is such a thing as pop genius then it is that.t isn't I'll hang on for a while until it shows up.

Looking at you Greil Marcus.

No it's alright Greil, just coddin' you. You're alright.


I think Ian Dury would deseverdly be in here, and what's more would be as sure of his wordsmithery to want to be well upstairs in the top five, if not three. Flash old raspberry that he was.


Gil Scott-Heron, for B-Movie and ReRon, completely out of date, but just lyrically, poetically deft works, that to these ears just don't age. He's done loads of other wonderful pieces, but these are personal favourites, and should be regarded by any right-thinking individual as classics.


Pete Townsend, though he can be as blathery a shitehawk who ever drew breath, when he gets it right, it's so right.

A singles compilation, Who's Next and Quadrphenia and you're getting it as good ever gets.

    • Hello.   Thanks Nigel and Hparker 😀   I've got new slots available for new students looking for a piano teacher or guitar teacher.   You could start in the new term beginning September, or I'm also available adhoc-styles through the summer holidays at times.   I teach all ages, in most styles, in lots of different ways according to how you learn/like to learn.   Give me a call or text on 07730 402336.   I have connections to lots of performance opportunities/networks too.   I run regular events /student concerts, and play in bands/perform.   Natalie. 
    • So do I, but I think they are in trouble as well.  Anyway, that space wouldn't be big enough.
    • I'm not talking about Starmer. I was responding to a post which  said that  Corbyn was unelectable. How people voted in the "more hotly contested election" is irrelevant. Corbyn wasn't leading the Labour Party then. Starmer was. And the turnout for Labour reflects that. 
    • Reeves says she's in charge and no no's Rayners plan, what happens now?
