Who are some of your favorites? Ryan Adams and Mason Jennings are probably my two favorites.

    I've only virgin media here, fada, not Sky, so the station numbers are different. However, I've seen a lot of the OGWT, and can remember quite a bit of it, first time around as a kid and teenager.

    As for Kevin Coyne, no, he wasn't in the Young Ones. He was asked to join The Doors when Jim Morrison died, but he declined. Actually, he said, fuck off. :D

    OOOO, I need to get me some Beck. I love Guero, what's some others I should pick up?

    He is much more than a singer/songwriter though. I think of him more like a Trent Reznor or Billy Corgan. Kinduva mastermind.



    Dunno if he's got a mention, but Cat Stevens has some pretty sweet tunes.

    Beck is the man. He does a lot of acoustic singer/songwriter stuff which is why i mention him. As well, he is usually responsible for most of the odd instrumentation on his more experimental albums.

    Check out Sea Change(s) or Mutations if you want that down home Beck/acoustic sound.

    Dudes amazing!!

    I always had a soft spot for his album Stereopathic Soulmanure.

    mmm, i like that one as well. It's a little too "thrown together" for me though.

    I like the randomness and home-tapey feel of it, though. I remember it came out, just around the time that the dying grunge scene was getting too streamlined and overproduced. It was refreshing to hear Beck fucking around, seemingly at home on his four-track on some tracks, and making great music, and showing that there was going to be much more to him than Mellow Gold.

    Tom Petty?
    Ben Harper?

    The Boss, Dylan & Neil are the Dons. But of the new breed Ryan Adams & Elliott Smith are brilliant.
    Beck is just incredible. A real chameleon.

    On a lighter note, quite like Donovan Frankenreiter. Good summer music. Jesse Malin is also worth a listen.
