I'll do Brian Wilson
Any takers for Macca, Bob Dylan, and the Stones? Or Van?
I think they should all be defended!

Defender: The Most Unfairly Ripped-Apart Artist From Last Week
Sam - you do The Clash and Bob Marley

Talk about coincidence..
Saw Bam's sister and Mom in a Burger King near Walsall last week. I'd just nipped in to have a wee, as I'd been stuck on the motorway, "Hello Poge", I heard - and we had a lovely chat.

The search for Nana
...can have weird results. Check this guy, I found him on facebook, he's called Chris Underwood - but he looks incredibly like ME.
Who’s the most critically lauded artist you dislike?
This is a fun game, best played down the pub, but should be good here as well.
Rules: we take turns, citing one artist per post (with accompanying rant if necessary) – where the reputation of a musical artist completely baffles you. It has to be someone, or a band, where they are very highly rated (so this isn’t the place to have a go at Pete Doherty) but you just don’t see it. Or you do see it! - you see a carefully orchestrated campaign of hype that has lasted decades. You see through what is tantamount to mass mind control. You know the Rock Emperor wears no gold lame suit – he wears no clothes at all! You have seen mass audiences confuse cool for quality, confuse the merely Loud with the holiest Rock. You have seen charlatans with stolen ideas fill stadia, while frail geniuses are cast out to move back in with their mothers and rot. Then again you've read about these frail geniuses one time too many – and ask if they’re so amazing, where exactly are their great records?
I won’t go first (although I have someone in mind). Hint: the bigger the target, the more fun.
Have at `em!

Lesbian Vampire Killers
The BBC are running a atory on the terrible reviews this film's been getting.
I saw the trailer the other week and felt quite depressed about its low level Nuts-type witlessness.
I didn't recognise the guys. I now realise that they're the stars of Gavin and Stacey, a programme I've avoided up to now, thinking it was bound to be shit.
Presumably I'm right about Gavin and Stacey, but if anyone wants to persaude me otherwise, I'd be interested to hear.
