Lineker's Left Foot Posted 9 July 2006 Posted 9 July 2006 Just wondering if anybody likes any particular singers that nobody else seems to and so thinks that they're amazing? I am a big fan of Jim Kerr (Simple Minds) who has an amazing voice, no attitude problem (take note Messrs Gallagher and Doherty), very talented and in it for the music NOT the money !! Who are yours???
Daggers Posted 9 July 2006 Posted 9 July 2006 I'm not sure Simple Minds qualify under the 'no one likes them' banner - I reckon David Gedge has to be one of the more under-rated of our laterday song-meisters...and he never sells out large venues nowadays.
stez Posted 9 July 2006 Posted 9 July 2006 i've always like mark king off of level42, simpley because noone else likes them......i also like jim noir who noone else, around me, seems to rate
Nationwider Posted 9 July 2006 Posted 9 July 2006 Well, I'll second Mark King, as "Running In The Family" was maybe the first 7" single I ever bought. I'll also second David Gedge. He's a sort of indie Everyman figure. He also wrote the genius "Ex-girlfriend with new boyfriend" anthem that is "Everyone Thinks He Looks Daft".... Don't give me that, 'cause you were seen! Everyone thinks he looks daft but you can have your dream! I've always been a big (and solitary) fan of Sarah Cracknell and Saint Etienne. Gorgeous voice, quite kitsch, sometimes folky, sometimes electronic, very British pop music.
