Personally, I like a bit of Madness. My girl, it must be love etc, good ol songs in my book. One step beyond and Night boat to Cairo....all very Ska beat. 

This is coming from someone who would say rock is there main genre. 

I used to love Madness too and the Specials but didn’t get Bad Manners

Robbie Williams is on the tv for some reason, talking about himself.

He is alright and all that, but my god he’s stretched a little talent an awful long way.

Elbow - omg Guy Garvie sounds so bored with his own music and voice that he’s about t fall asleep while performing.

i did actually nod off when they were supporting U2 a few years back.

i considered Sade in the same class of sleep inducing singer

I like Robbie, but I agree entirely.

He is an entertainer.

 

Talent comes in many different forms.

It does, but I think his shtick is way past its sell by date.

 

He had the zeitgeist of that moment in time, that was his good fortune.

I put Mr Bublé in the same category. Really not my cup of tea, but a consummate Professional. Entertainer with a capital E. For that, I admire him.
