That trick of his of scat-singing along with his solos irks me. And you want to know a secret? It's really easy to do!

How did we get to a world where a binary question has 5 options?
I agree with hatz though, it's very much in the exciting middle-ground of ok-ness.

Like fast-moving clouds casting shadows against a hillside, the melody-loop shuddered with a sense of the sublime, the awful unknowable majesty of the world.

Just as there are several grades of hit, my nit-picking pal D_F, there are also several levels of shit.

Explain yourself, Ray. What does "music for footballers" mean and how does it relate to a disco-pop song by a jazz/R&B guitarist?
Sorry fange, it's quite prosaic really. In the 1980s, football mags and indeed programmes for matches often included bland lifestyle interviews with players as filler. One of the questions they always asked was, 'What music do you like' and GB's name was ubiquitous. He became, for me, the poster boy for those who aspired to sophistication but hadn't got a fucking clue
A notch above Diamond Lights though, eh?

Perhaps – DL is pants, I'll give you that – although I can't say for certain. His version of On Broadway, forced on me in a Cup, was the most disgusting thing I've heard in a while and I vowed never to listen to anything with his name on it again, so I can't say, any more than I can play those vids that fange kindly supplied.

My slight sideswipe - typing from the red half of North London - was that as a reader of the Spurs programme in that era, the opinions of "those who aspired to sophistication but hadn't got a fucking clue" would have been something of a stock-in-trade.
Glen and Chris were just the easiest of targets.
I've no doubt Kenny Sansom and Kevin Richardson were equally guilty

you're a loony.
Go on, play the Little George Benson ones at least; musically they're right in your wheelhouse i'd say, though his young voice may not be.

What's that, creation of a material session singer?
Let U be the set of all united sets, K be the set of the kids and D be the set of things divided.
Then it follows that ∀ k ∈ K: K ∈ U ⇒ k ∉ D

My mate saw Paul Davis at a New Order gig. Charlie Nicholas had decent music taste too. We were always hipper than the lot up the road.

Finishing below them for the second season in a row doesn't irk you at all, does it?

I have it on good authority that Steve Archibald was a big fan of Postcard Records and use to exchange compilation tapes with Pat Nevin

Steve Perryman told him at a Todd Rundgren convention.

What he said was that Garth shouldn't do that - you know he'll stain the carpet.
