Musical geniuses who don't get much credit these days (no 73)

... and his brilliant bass player, Larry Graham, is playing at the Clapham Grand on April 4th.

I don't know if anyone has been following this on radio 6.

How would people's personal preferences pan out?

 

[El Pibe]

pogues v bing, tough first round draw.

but here's my preferences (which aren't too far off 6 music's, though don't know their choice of winner yet)

Wham vs Pogues Final

Pogues at a canter

[BrandNewGuy]

Not fair having the Pogues and Slade in the same half of the draw - this should have been seeded ;-) As it is, Slade beat Wizzard in a glam-tastic final.

[bon3yard]

Stop the Cavalry. Stop the contest.

[taper]

David Bowie. Hank Williams. Tony Iommi. Mark Arm. Rat Scabies. Dick Gaughan. Nigel Blackwell

[Peckhamgatecrasher]

Mr. Holder's epiglottal scream is sans pareil. End of.

Great vocalist too. He's one in a million!

[El Pibe]

Taper, donny you know it's cliched to be cynical about christmas?

[Mick Mac]

I'd have had Bowie and Bing's Little Drummer Boy in the mix, beaten in the final by the Pogues.

[DJKillaQueen]

John Lennon vs Band Aid with Lennon taking it for me. Pogues are too obvious :D

[ruffers]

The wall chat's missing a very strong contender - Greg Lake

Not to mention the lack of The Waitresses, Christmas Wrapping. Given what we've got though Jonah Lewie wins out for me.

Hey, Dick Gaughan gets loads of credit!

He's been at The Goose at least twice and possibly three times (too late to count) and he's coming to East Dulwich again in September! YAY !!!

[taper]

But not enough credit. He's up there with the best of them imv. I missed him last time round, so very excited about September.

[Wilhelm]

Nick Lowe anyone?

[Jah Lush]

Yes please. Marvelous.

[woodrot]

I find the cod Oirishness of public schoolboy and lightweight drinker shane mcgowan tiresome at the best of time, at xmas, after a few too many repeats of that pogues dirge, I begin to veer from finding him tiresome, to wishing someone would wrestle him in a hessian sack, weighed down with rocks,and dump him into the nearest canal.with bono .
