ABCtalers and musicians

Someone once said to me after reading something I wrote (admittedly with lots of swearing in) that I was the literary equivalent of eminem. I love eminem's lyrics so don't take it as an insult but this would be my judgement.

Me: Radiohead /Eminem
Linsi: Manic Street Preachers or Chilli peppers (touches the mainstream without losing talent or a distinct voice)
Ivoryfishbone: Tanita Tikaram (sorry its the black thing)
Ralph: Coldplay or the Verve (not trying to shock yet totally refreshing and original)
Karl: Chris Rea (gritty but soft)
Mark YB: Enigma (mysterious and spiritual)

can you add to the list?

i didn't think i'd like to see the day where id think of karl or ralph and be humming johnny 99: Ralph went lookin' for a job but he couldn't find none he came home too drunk from mixin tanqueray and wine he got a gun shot a night clerk now they call 'im johnny 99. i actually sit under a lifesize poster of the god-like Morrissey while writing poetry. i find that his soothing tritonal range facilitates the muse. some of martin's late night offerings remind me of a young morrissey, perhaps with similar overtones of a penchant for buggery. seriously, they remind me of arab strap a bit, or the tindersticks dogstar's abc with the prose in it does remind me of some postcard stuff like orange juice and roddy frame, probably urban development, good bedsit music. so good call ralph.

Judith you were right about the Chillies, but wrong about the Manics! (maybe slip some Wu-tang in and there you have it) Good thread ...I will go away and think some more about it.

I missed out Emily Hamblin: Ash (too young to be so bloody good, too harsh for pop, too soft for rock - utter perfection. Her "sea poem is better than ash's "girl from mars")
