With all due respect, Captain, I think the idea of making a choice between Blind Blake and George Formby is ludicrous. They are like chalk and cheese and trying to compare them is frankly daft, IMO.

Both were excellent in their own field, but there is scarcely any point of commonality between their styles. Some like both (I do!); others like one but hate the other; others may hate both; while yet others have probably never heard them, or even of them.

Why do people have to keep trying to say whether one person, artist, singer, musician, band, song, tune, etc. is "better" than another? There's room for all - it's a big world of music - just enjoy it! :-)

I'll get me coat and prepare to walk the plank...
