Brucie, correct attitude, my man. It's only rock'n'roll, as they say.Historically speaking the musicians who played on the early (and to-days) British records should be celebrated. Joe Moretti ("Shakin' All Over) had skiffle connections as did a fair few of these sessioneers. Wether they liked playing "pop" music is irrelevant. But bear in mind a history of British Rock'n'Roll should in theory have started with "Rock With The Cavemen") IMO.
Celebration ? You would have to include many an anger-inducing name in that.
PS I'm off to check out the Peace/Dave Edmunds connection. Rock On !!
