They're all still releasing music with the exception of Dane.

Great to see Jurassic 5 have reformed

I didn't know, nice !

Simply Red ... Mick Hucknall ... enough said!

So the Northern Soul scene - which still flourishes to this day - would have ignored all these artists? I think I've heard tracks by all those, bar Miles Davies, played at one time or another

Sorry Charlie Sheen but i learned all about Funk via 1970's Blaxploitation movies such as Superfly, Across 110th Street, Foxy Brown, Coffy, The Mack, Truck Turner, Dolemite and many more, didn't need no Rap or Hip Hop to turn me on to Curtis Mayfield, Bobby Womack or Willie Hutch

I'm guessing thats without Cut Chemist?

With people saying Hip hop has died I disagree. It certainly isn't my first choice of genre but with people like Jhest and Doom coming from britain the future is bright with great lyrics

He's back

There doing Coachella but Nu Mark isn't sure if its going to lead to anything else

Add to that Scroobius Pip, DJ Yoda, B Dolan and a number of others.

I got Scroobius Pips album last year for a bargain of £6 on vinyl and wasn't expecting much at all but it really is a little treasure.

Beltin' stuff. The lad's got a way with words.

Tears for Fears, ELP , pair of them just make me want to vomit.

R&B with the likes of Rihanna, Ne-Yo etc. What's even more annoying is that most people I work with think that they are the height of musical excellence.

Madness
The only two tone band who had no black members and a lead singer who just happened to be very close friends with two of the leading lights of the National Front / BNP.

Coincidence Shurely not

Madness' live audience are a bunch of knuckle draggers - They make Oasis' live following seem almost articulate.

For whatever reason, they just attracted a large group of racist skinheads.....I think it was the almost 'simpleton' nature of their music and slightly aggressive persona which proved so appealing to them, again you could say the same thing about Oasis' following.

In a 1979 NME interview, Smash was quoted as saying "We don't care if people are in the NF as long as they're having a good time."

The Swinging cats
The Higsons
The Friday club & even Elvis Costello & the attractions had no black members in them while signed to the 2tone label.

I'm editing this, as it seems she can't even write the songs herself. Shyster

I can't stand pretentious clowns who harp on constantly about how great The Smiths and Joy Division are. Two of the most hateful bands in history.
Don't even get me started on Morrisey as a person!

I bet she can't even write her name either.

Olly Murs - I'm sorry Mr Murs, but you didn't win the competition (The X Factor) so you cannot have the prize (recording contract, tours etc) so please get the f**k off the radio, grrr.

Robbie Williams

Oasis (and any side-projects they do)

Pete Doherty

Madonna

Britney Spears - utterly talentless and her time was 13-14 years ago anyway.

Rihanna

Ellie Goulding - She's a grown woman, yet sings in the style of a 5 year-old little girl and sings the chorus of her latest single 'Burn' in the style of an 8-bit NES game, totally infuriating.

Jessie J - About as urban as me, sings cliched 'i'm a woman, i do what i want' songs. Got her break from the BBC because she's young, white, and lesbian, ticking 3 of their boxes.

Katy Perry - Completely ordinary, first song was about her kissing other girls, obviously not done to garner attention for herself at all. Can't sing. Cliched 'stand up for yourself' songs.

Will.I.Am - I was surprised to find out he actually wrote Empire State Of Mind, as that's a good song, but his stuff that he releases under his own name... garbage, autotuned speaking over synthed crap

I feel a bit better now

To add to Jessie J

"It ain't about the money, I just wanna make the world dance!" Cool. Oh. Wait. What's that Jessie, you don't want people to download your music and you not get paid? Well. I guess it is a little bit about the money, isn't it.

You're just another industry puppet aren't you? Like when you said you were bisexual because if you came out as a massive rug muncher you would lose your male audience. Yes Jessie. You have it all figured out!

Rihanna - Has never picked up a pen to write any of her songs, has to wear no clothes and sing about getting sh*gged on a daily basis to stay in the news

Beyonce - ''Who Run The World... Girls... who run the world..girls...who run the world...girls... who run the motherf***ing world...girls'' - it took SIX people to write that gem

One Direction - No explanation needed

Union J - One Direction clone

Lily f***ing Allen - she's a cockney, you know... did you know?

Olly Murs - Gimp, wears gimp-like hats and dances around like a gimp to his gimpish songs.. wears dungarees

Anybody from the London Grime or Garage scene

There'll be more
