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Gil Scott-Heron, for B-Movie and ReRon, completely out of date, but just lyrically, poetically deft works, that to these ears just don't age.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.

    • This is just normal business behaviour. That's why there are so many coffee shops in ED and shops selling gifts and interiors stuff, clothes, restaurants.  If there's more than one business of a similar type then it can benefit all of them up to a saturation point and keep up quality. It's all sounding like many think Chango has made a malicious move when it actually sounds like it's owned by one guy who has a good business that has done well.   Anyway this is all great advertising for both empanada places. Very close by is the organic grocer who sells really good value and very tasty samosas and other Indian snacks which are also worth trying. 
    • Hello, Does this lovely little panther have a name? & Is he neutered & microchipped?
    • Well I don’t approve for a shop doing the same food to open so near - just wrong in my opinion. Why not go to the village, Peckham - foot fall would be great in Peckham and certainly more multi  cultural than ED. Village has money but doubt foot fall would be as good as ED.  At least they could have gone to the stretch leading up to Peckham Rye or why not bottom of Barry Road?? Or even North Cross Road I for one, on principal won’t be going in.
    • Heh yeah haven't even bothered to remove the emdash. The OP is AI slop as well.
