I stand by what I said about those two artists. I looked them up before I even commented, and they don't seem to have had major media attention or major success anywhere. One UK album chart notwithstanding. I suppose an artist who is a household name in just English-speaking Europe would count as "famous" by my definition, but I don't think many Brits in any age group know who Ben Howard is either. (By the way, fame is only moderately connected to caliber of music. If he's great, maybe he eventually will qualify for this kind of discussion.) I don't mind a few little-known artists being mentioned in this thread, but there have been more than a few.

Can I change my vote for angriest member to this Guy or is it late?

and now i'm exiting the scene, as resistance to taking shots at your dominant attitude will likely prove to be a futile endeavour!

I for one don't care if he's telling me to get out of his thread. People who police their own threads but in reality have no authority are the worst. I will stop posting in your thread, sopych, when I feel like it.

Too late, sorry. This is what happens when people feel ganged up on. Oh well. The thread was okay for a while and I learned things about musicians in the process.

If the thread doesn't get on track soon, then I hope a mod locks it.

Put it back on track then.

Maybe because your attitude is causing you to be upset?

But I don't know how - the strange thing is, since Pink, I can't think of any famous musician I respect as a person. High standards for people, high standards for thread behavior.

Seriously though the more you let stuff bother you the more people will be inclined to mess with you. Choose your battles wisely and don't sweat the small stuff.

I think SRV was a respectable Guy as well. He over came addiction and always seemed genuinely appreciative for the greats that inspired him. Whenever he spoke, he just always came across as a kind spirited person. Always thankful for the talent he was blessed with having and able to share with others.

I respect SRV because every article I read of him and every interview I've seen I got the impression that he gave his all to playing guitar. Even little things like making sure BB King got top billing on a marquee because though BB wasn't as popular at the time he was still a living legend and to Stevie deserve that respect.

I think we are missing the vitally important question here... are celebrities people?
