said this earlier on top, top social networking website Facebook but I doubt most people who think of themselves as 'serious music fans' could name a John Lee Hooker studio album. most canon blues artists are best served by compilations right?

Paul Nicholas in a heartbeat unless we can find a serious challenger

most canon blues artists released all their best records as singles so it has to be compilations really

David Essex too heavyweight for the 70s Britpop throwdown?
Yeah he would walk it. Was he an actor turned singer though? Thought he was the other way round.
― gotta lol geir (NickB), Wednesday, 16 October 2013 11:17 (ten years ago) link
Oh wait, Paul Nicholas was a singer first too, so that doesn't work.

Paul Shane? If we're going down the sing-your-own-show's-theme route.

True but you would miss out on glorious stuff like Muddy Waters' Electric Mud
― gotta lol geir (NickB), Wednesday, 16 October 2013 11:19 (ten years ago) link
Paul Shane is a good call, but then I feel you'd have to add Don Estelle and Windsor Davies and that wouldn't be a fair fight.

i think of Paul Nicholas and David Essex as proper pop artists, whilst accepting they might be perceived as being a shade kitsch

From the Mirror: Weirdly, there’s never been an album called The Very Best Of The Beatles. Probably something to do with Yoko.
No, but there's an album compiling all their No.1 singles, you complete and utter dipshit.

An education: Neil Diamond is not on that album.

Over my 10-year career I've worked on MTV, 4Music, and hosted the V, Homelands, iTunes and Isle of Wight music festivals. I've hosted radio shows on XFM and Capital FM, and like to think I have learnt a thing or two about music.

Hey, this is catchy, Lester says as he lights up, but how come there’s no clicks or hiss? Explaining how a download works to the ghost of Lester Bangs turns out to be quite difficult.

I didn't get through the whole thing either, but I kind of like using this thread to point out writing that is offensive, obnoxious, wrongheaded or journalistically incompetent. This is more just eye-roll worthy. Laughing at this kinda feels like laughing at a child's horrible painting or something. Still, carry on.
