Sounds like a speech from the wicker man

Well better lyrics than dunderhead McCartney can come up with - along the who and Bowie a distinctly over rated musician and lyricist.

Really?
Musical taste varies G. Nobody's opinion is more important than anyone else's. I'm not a PMc fan- but others clearly do... as for Bowie... A lad insane?

Just when you think that Grendel couldn't get any worse, he slags off The Beatles and Bowie. The man just loves to be hated!

As for the lyrics in your sig....the author should be shot for crimes against the English language! Laughable nonsense not worthy of a second rate school metal band.

Ha ha ha, oh, dear me


(Ha ha ha, hee hee hee

Can't blame someone for their real name.

Don't think Archibald Leach would have been a Hitchcock Idol, Marion Morrisson a tough guy or William Henry Pratt would have frightened audiences around the globe if they had not changed the name of birth

Whilst I don't know who Wordworth was, I'll agree that song was shite: but it was an Anthony Newley piss-take! You could have just as easily picked "Yellow Submarine" or "Don't Pass Me By" from The Beatles. More pertinently, Tin Machine were awful, and he had a lot of misses early in his career before he found his groove (and the brilliant Mick Ronson). But Bowie has been a massive success both critically and commercially. At this point in time he is rightly seen as a national treasure. His musical CV is pretty much unsurpassed IMO. From Ziggy to Let's Dance he delivered 8 genuinely great albums, covering-and in some cases creating-a huge range of styles. He was influenced by great music and influenced even more great music. The man is an artist and an icon who stayed ahead of the curve for the best part of two decades. I even had 3 or 4 mates when I was growing up who loved his drum & bass stuff! Anyone who has ever been anywhere near cool likes Bowie. I'm just thankful that I saw him at Glastonbury when he was still playing live-I've been to about a thousand gigs in my life, but that set is in the top 5, no question.


He even found time to write a song about you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv6mEv_rDdE



As for Marillion...most people would say "who?" The rest of us would just laugh. They're a creative dead end, going nowhere new, offering little to anyone bar their fan-boy old-man audience.

I won't have the Beatles or Bowie slagged off. I won't have it I tell you. Grendel, I'm just going to put Low on, just to annoy you.

It really is as if he's thought "hmm, now who are the two greatest ever, most popular British musical acts of all time? If I slag them off, I'm sure to wind people up and get a few bites!". Nah, he wouldn't do something so...Low
