Frank Turner is bastard well ace -- though I do sometimes wonder how much of his "gosh, I'm a skinny guy in a lumberjack shirt who ought to be playing to a dozen people in a pub cellar and whoops! look at me here supporting Greed Day* at Wembley" routine is for real and how much is cynical and deliberate...

I'm another guilty ELO fan too. Even the first album when they still had Roy Wood making peculiar noises is rather good.

Other dubious pleasures: Half Man Half Biscuit. Terrorvision. Tom "Thank You God" Petty. Sparks (though the last album was a bit weak). The Fratellis.

Newest musical crushes include General Fiasco (though this wavered a bit when 'Ever So Shy' was used to finish an episode of Inbetweeners) and The Gaslight Anthem (who keep being compared to Springsteen just because they're from New Jersey -- don't see it myself...)

There, that should ensure plenty of hate male from more established b3tans.

*Typo. But let it stand.
