| Wow, to dismiss an artists work because you don't like a song indicates to me that your a lot more narrow minded than i thought. A lot of people on here go on about musicals, i don't like them, but i have enough respect for the composer etc to not come on here spouting it's shite, just because i don't like it. I could use your argument about "commercial shite" about the vast majority of Jim's musicals, lets be honest with the exception of Tanz (luck again?)they've all pretty much not exsisted/flopped, one shouldn't really use the commercial shite phrase, it demeens to much in the arts world, not just music, but paintings/sculpture etc which were dismissed as "shite" and has since become some of our greatest works of art. Like it, don't like it, the choice is yours, but never, never dismiss another artist work as "shite" that is so narrow minded. Not touchy about Todd especially, just believe any musician , especially one who's been in the business as long as Todd doesn't deserve his work labelled as shite. > Seems you're a little touchy when it comes to Todd, but > you're talking bollocks as per usual, just like your > nonsense babble about the Eurovision. > > You can say Todd hasn't chased commercial success but the > truth is, his songs haven't been commercially successful > because they're shite. > > > Opnions are like arsehole we all got them, just coz you > > happen not to like them don't make them shite, a lot of > > people do, as for artisicically i think youre talkin > > crap. > > Artisically Todd is one of the most artisic of musicians, > > in the same vein as Zappa/Bowie, but i guess you dont like > > them either. > > Jim is very creative but as for pushing musical > > boundaries, well, i don't think he ever has, lets face it > > the success of BOOH was sheer luck, the following 10+ > > years he coasted on it's success.
