Dave Woodhall has a question to ask.
Depending on where you are in the world, either yesterday or today was the seventeenth anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s suicide. I never did like Nirvana or any other grunge, which to me sounded like low-grade heavy metal for teenagers going through their rebellious stage before becoming accountants.
In fact there’s a list of artists over the years I just don’t get. If anyone can say what ‘it’ is about the following artists, please let me know:
Public Enemy
Blur
Pink Floyd
The Beatles after 1964
The Strokes
Nick Drake
Stone Roses
Arcade Fire
Velvet Underground
Miles Davis
Portishead
Josh Stone
John Coltrane
Bjork

Florence & the Machine
Low-era Bowie
PJ Harvey
