"pegged by Lennox"is the next one on my list of top band names that have never been used. After "Genghis Fuckpaws" and "Gay men eat grasshoppers"

Geike ArnaertNot as technically good as a jazz singer, but there's a haunting, plaintive quality to her voice in amongst an otherwise rich tone that still send a slight shiver down my spine to this days. Their new singer's good, but she's not in the same league.

Barbara DicksonFirst gig I ever went to. True story.
I used to like Nina Hagen but I think that was just to appear all cool and superior to my friends who'd never heard of her.

She's alrightbut in the "female vocalist with a guitar" category, I prefer Beth Orton.

Oh, that's quite a good call.Although Chapman has a pretty haunting voice. Even if she does look and sound a bit like a man.

I thought she was a man for ages from hearing Fast Car and Between the Lines.Then I saw her picture and it didn't do anything to change my mind. Ihad to be presented with quite a lot of evidence before I admitted my mistake.

I really like Beth Ortonthough when I saw her at Wireless and she only played stuff off her fourth album I was a bit gutted as it's definitely the worst of the 4.

I've got her first couple knocking about somewhere, I think.Or maybe just Central Reservation. While not on a Monty level of hoarding, I do have quite a lot of stuff and I can't always remember what I do and don't own.

I like Amy McDonald quite a lot, but I don't think I could honestly choose my favourite of all time.For arguments sake, I'll say Annie Lennox.

Ohhhh man this is a tricky one.But I think I'm going to have to go with Lisa Scott-Lee, or maybe Faye she was pretty good too. Ohhh actually, I really liked Victoria Beckham when she did that song with Dane Bowers, remember? The one where he sang about what a skank katie Price is (but back when she was known as 'Jordan').

Have you seen that advert for Polyfilla (or something)that has a multiple choice question re how you'd deal with woodchip wallpaper?
The first answer is
1) accept that you are stuck in 1973
How we 'lol' EVERY TIME it's on.

Have you seen the Life on Mars soundtrack CD, Monters?It's all 1973. Granted, Bowie's on it by default, but there's some good stuff on it.

I have not.Classic Rock magazine declared it the best year for rock music EVER. They made a strong case for it but I wonder if '69 or '70 might have been better.
'73 was the year that also gave us Montgomery Peregrine St John Boyce, though.
