Hey! Mr. Tambourine Man, play a song for me![]()
''Don't be serious..Be Sincere''
Les - you and I talk the same language musically. Dylan, Bowie - I would add my own - Led Zepp - Hendrix - ELO - Small Faces - Yardbirds - Cream.
In my opinion - REAL music! There has been no real music for many years - nor any real talent.

Pressed rat and warthog closed down their shop!
There`s loads of real music around, just all you hear nowadays are girl bands that cant sing and just sell by showing as much flesh as possible. I love all the old stuff and my appreciation ranges from BB King to Chas and Dave. scissor sisters are a real tight group, blur, coldplay, I even enjoyed the worzels at the imp in exeter some months back.
The point is dylan helped shape music for years to come,He wasen't afraid to be controversial and had some catchy tunes too,along with Led Zepp - Hendrix - ELO - Small Faces - Yardbirds - Cream-Bowie-jagger-Lennon.
Recent decent bands I would add would be Oasis,sterophonics,manics,and even one of my fav-Squeeze still produced great stuff after the "cool for cats" era
I also like his Travelling willbury's songs,he added a nice edge to the band.
I was sad to see no big queue for Dylan and thought I bet if the mighty "Jedward" had been here there would have been a bigger queue
As for chas n dave,the worzels and scissor sisters in the words of John McEnroe "you can't be serious"
How many of these current chart bands will still be around in years to come? my guess is none
Here is a group of real singers apologies to Robbie williams

To me a musician, is a person that writes his/her own lyrics and music, and sadly, there aren't many of those left....
The proliferation of talent contests, only exacerbates the situation,
Although I cannot sing to save my life, I know a nice song when I hear one, and can appreciate it like anybody else for what it is.
I am not trapped in the past, either.![]()
