Subject: RE: 'It's all right to like...' From: Bernard Date: 11 Mar 06 - 08:02 AM I've never made a secret of the fact that the Spinners kick-started my folk interest - in fact, I was only discussing that very thing with Hughie Jones himself last October. It's wonderful to see that he still has the same fire and enthusiasm after all these years. |

From: Purple Foxx Date: 11 Mar 06 - 07:26 AM Saccharine ,commercial & inauthentic are all things that the Spinners have been accused of being but they provided many people with an entry point to folk music. I respect & admire them for that. Katie Melua is giving youngsters a taste of acoustic music . Ditto. Ringo Starr is/was a greater drummer than the vast majority of his critics. Stockhausen has his moments. Whatever froths your Latte is ok. |

Subject: 'It's all right to like...' From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 11 Mar 06 - 07:13 AM Chucking out the old newspapers today I noticed a headline on a piece about changes in musical tastes, saying "It's all right to like..." some out of fashion musicians. And I started thinking how I loathe that kind of idea that our tastes in music, or in anything else, should be governed by whether "it's all right" to like something, rather than whether we actually do like that thing. And then I thought it'd be interesting to find out if there are performers and types of music that Mudcatters like, but sometimes find themselves being a bit embarrassed to admit to liking. I'll throw in Doris Day and Rolf Harris. |
