Tell me why….

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
