U.K. Hall of Fame

[galltin]

So what did everybody think of the a) nominees and b) the automatic entries and c) the system whereby only 1 from each decade goes in. Who do you think will win last night's selection.

I thought it was awful: to be fair that wasn't the programmes' fault, it's just that 90s music was pretty much hell! I had assumes it was Uk acts hence the !"UK Music Hall of Fame" - but really, Missy Elliott??? Is it only one that wins? If so, probably Oasis - ebven though they're rubbish? What happened to the Manics? Don't rate them that much but they had a couple of good tunes and a bit of "presence" that was noticeably absent in the 90s. And I've never heard Blur's guitarist described as one of the best guitarists in the world before! Radiohead - yawn!

Graham Coxon was and is a fantastic guitarist...just cos he doesn't go off on interminable wonky (substitute vowel) solos on his knees whilst sticking his tongue out. I didn't watch the programme but I agree that the Manics should have got a nod. I would love to see Radiohead win the 90s but of course Oasis will walk it. fair enough, i s'pose...for an all-too-brief moment they WERE an astounding rock n roll band

I think you're talking a complete load of b******ks the 90s music from start to finish was brilliant! As for radiohead they are unbelievably talented, what do u listen to? aqua, steps?

[beale]

I'm with you rja, Graham Coxon is an immensely talented and experimental guitarist. Apart from the recorded evidence no end of pundits from NME, national newspapers, guitar magazines and no less an authority than my mates have testified as much.

[blueeyedlass]

i have to say as sad as it may sound but i think the spice girls actually deserve to win it !!!!

[cruthinboy]

I'd rather listen to Acqua and Steps than a load of proggy public school bedwetters like Radiohead! I'm not saying the Blur bloke wasn't a great guitarist - i wouldn't know - just that I'd never heard him described as such, that's all. In my day, a great guitarist was one who performed 20 minute solos with a look of complete agony on their face! mich m - out of the lot on offer, I'd go for the Spice Girls as well.
