Today the Guardian has published a list of the 40 greatest British bands today. Which is quite nice, but does miss a few tricks.
Where are (rather predictably), Prefab Sprout, Marillion, Francis Dunnery and Chris Difford? I’d also suggest that the top 40 should contain Turin Brakes, purveyors of top quality tunes and residents of Balham.
Now I’m scared, could count the number of bands I’d heard of on two hands. I’m not including David Bowie in that statement as he is not a band. If we include Mr Bowie that takes the score to 11, which reminds me, where is Spinal Tap?
The Tap are about as British as you are Jonny, therefore they don’t qualify.
