The anal-retentives over at Channel 4 tonight treated us to the UK Music Hall Of Fame. In tonight's show, ten acts from the 90's were up for nomination, with one of them being inducted into the Hall Of Fame. The nominees included the Red Hot Chili Peppers, Blur and Oasis (fair enough), the massively over-rated Nirvana and Prodigy, and the Spice Girls thrown in to keep the toddlers happy.
The real choker, though, was the inclusion of Radiohead over Pulp or Suede. I just don't get the big fuss over Radiohead; they made a couple of good singles back in the mid-90's - followed by a stream of unlistenable dirges. And still everyone goes on as if they're the greatest thing since penicillin. (Penicillin, incidentally, is way better than sliced bread when you're in a jam, although sliced bread wins when you need something to eat with jam).
Today's music: Warren Zevon: Genius - The Best Of Warren Zevon
