With a little bit of the brilliant Michael Franti acting the tit.

Pretty sure Michelle Shocked is on the vid, too

Haven't heard any of her stuff in years but this is my fave song of hers. A classic

A en ex workmate from Pompey went to see him there and said he was shit, fucked if I know though, so from what I've heard it's has to be Billy Joel. 

Bragg has to be commended though for some things.

Billy Bragg is quite unique, fresh, interesting,innovative. Bill Joel I always felt is someone Patrick Bateman would write an essay about.

Absolute truth. Couldn’t agree more.
 

 

Thanks mate.

Billy Joel does not deserve to be in the tournament? What kind of bollocks is that?

 

 

 

 

 

[Numero Veinticinco]

The fact that it's this close, and it's not even close, is ridiculous. I mean, Billy Brag probably isn't in the top 500 let alone 64.

There’s a part of me that’s a little bit in love with anyone who presents Uptown Girl as justification for an artist being amongst the best in the world. It’s the same part of me that demands that I put a few pennies into the charity box for people with learning disabilities

Taliking about Billy’s, is Billy Idol in?

 

 

[Toxteth O'Grady]

Billy Bragg, for this song alone.

It has the late, great Kirsty in it.

Billy Bragg is one of the greatest human beings alive.

He wouldn’t even get in my top three musicians called Billy. 

[cloggypop]

Wild Billy Childish number 1 obviously.

Sounds like some easy listening.

 

He is known for his explicit and prolific work – he has detailed his love life and childhood sexual abuse, notably in his early poetry and the novels My Fault (1996), Notebooks of a Naked Youth (1997), Sex Crimes of the Futcher (2004) – The Idiocy of Idears (2007), and in several of his songs, notably in the instrumental "Paedophile" (1992) (featuring a photograph of the man who sexually abused him on the front cover) and "Every Bit of Me" (1993). From 1981 until 1985 Childish had a relationship with artist Tracey Emin.
