Top Gear

What would the answer have been if you'd asked the same question about
James Blunt before he was on? Personally I can't stand any of the above
as 'artists' (with the possible exception of the Sugababes), but that
doesn't mean they wouldn't be interesting guests.

Britney would be amusing.

 

Timberlake and Keating have already been on. They weren't the most
irritating guests I've seen[1]


[1] Jodie Kidd comes to mind.

 

You've *really* got your finger on the pulse.

 

Have they? Oh.

Ah - I quite liked Jodie Kidd when she was on.

 

Hey, this is where we started!

 

Even so, why would her DNA be on a lap with LH? Unless he's not very
good with his personal hygiene...

 

The bit during her lap where she does the tongue-clicking thing (as you
might do when riding a horse) springs to mind and for some reason made
me think she was a bit of a twat.

 

That's pretty close to a "buys his own furniture" remark.

Hippy.

 

Sweetcorn.

 

Hey - even *I* knew that.

Phil

 

Who did - The Beatles or Buddy Holly and the Crickets?
I think you will find the Beatles are on record as citing Holly as an
influence. Not their only one, clearly.

In any case Chuck Berry is a good example of a singer/songwriter
long before them.

PF

 

Skinny, no tits, drives fast, name like a boy.

Can't see it, me.

 

I was holding them up for critique, I just picked 3 recent bands off
the top of my head.

 

well, yes - but not just that - to me, she comes across as a one-trick-
pony who thinks she's a multitalented genius.

 

don't get me wrong - I'd be hittin' it, but I'd need to deploy the
ball-gag.

 

Timberlake and Keating have never been on Top Gear, though I imagine
they'd be quite interesting.

 

Very good

The point is still valid, though. Even as a new band, more than half
their recorded material was self-written. This was indeed
mould-breaking, and helped open the door to the ideas that gave rise
to the pop/rock explosion of the 60s and 70s.

Up until their time 90%+ of hit records were simply a singer, or
group, performing songs selected, and as instructed, by management.
That model probably accounted for less than 50% by the 70s, and of
course the proportional change is even more marked if we look at
Albums rather than singles.
