Music mogull Alan McGee's rant on today's music acts!
What the hell is this idiot talking about...
http://www.digitalspy.co.uk/music/ne...d-be-shot.html So basically this idiot doesn't like any modern day artist. I also think his comments about Take That should be shot are a little bit harsh to say the least. They are one of the most successful boybands since The Beatles FFS

Calling The Beatles a 'boy band' is one of the most ridiculous statements I've ever read on DS
, just not a 'boy band' in the stereotypical sense.

saying someone should be shot is extreme. I'm no fan of JLS though.

Agree with him on some things, disagree with him on others. However, it doesn't change my opinion that's he's a mouthy git who's nowhere near as smart as he likes to think - and certainly nowhere near as smart as Gary Barlow.

Tbh, this is just lazy criticism. Im a big fan of both artists, but I wouldn't say Florence is 'cheap Kate Bush knock off'.

Maybe I was wrong but again why the fuss what about Hooverphonic or Smoke City they were something else and no one made a big fuss about them.Same with Mazzy star or Beth Orton something that was slept on again all the big fuss around Duffy and Florence why.

I agree with you on artist promotion, or lack of. It's a shame some acts are overshadowed by others; especially those with the hype are actually pretty shit. For example; Little Boots. The amount of hype around her was ridiculous, whereas, someone like Natasha Khan is still overlooked a lot, when she's one of our best female solo artists.
Just listen to Charlotte Hathley Siberia it kills anything Folrence has done. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r59n7MhKxZg |
