Now then Banjiman,

I never questioned the impact of the Young'uns for a moment. I said: >>"There's no disputin' it, these guys are excellent, alive, and yes, really talented."<< They don't need any apologist or publicity machine. Nor instruments for that matter (but that's another debate).

As for your gentle challenge... well yes, I've seen the videos too, all of 'em! No soloist will ever have the same visual impact as a group, least of all that fine bunch of lads! They are unique..

But "making an impact" on a video shouldn't be the major criterion for booking any act. If you take that argument to its logical conclusion, you seem to be implying that just because an act (whether solo or not) makes a strong visual impact, that's better (contentious value judgement alert!) - and you're rather suggesting that the music isn't important (or as important) any more.. now that's a real dangerous road to go down, brother!
