I think you mean A Certain Ratio

yes, that's it. I believe they are a supergroup made up of members of other groups.

I wish I was hip, cool, happening and down with the kidz!

You and Gary Glitter both.

Those of you who are regular readers of my threads will know that my favourite group is the Electric Light Orchestra. I have, however, had another musical epiphany recently and have discovered a wizard band called A Certain Ration. Absolutely fantastic - has anyone here ever listened to them?

I'd like to know just how familiar with "skanky Louisiana hookers" the main protagonists on this thread actually ARE?

Channeling Billiy Holiday indeed. Bunch of black dancers with her in a 30s style dress.

Yer not black love, you are not from Louisiana so stop trying to pretend you are.

By your reckoning then Annie Lennox should sing like an Aberdonian fish-wife. Hang on a minute...

Winehouse gets away with it as the band Ronson mustered up was top class, with top class production.

Comparing Paloma to the alcoholic winehouse is like comparing apples with pears. Winehouse is a mess. Paloma, from what I've read, had a fairly ordinary upbringing most of us could relate to.

"he left me for another layyyydddeyeyeyeyeyeyey"

Jesus love, you are from London, why are you singing in that stupid accent?

Paloma Faith has to be the worst for it though, someone should tell her to stop channelling Billy Holiday.
