Name your lame duck artist........


What artist do you put above all others in terms of lack of talent but somehow has achieved success?

For me Madonna has to be the queen of mediocrity (mediocre being a compliment in this case) - can't sing or act and what's with the fake english accent after living there a whole two years.
And don't get me going with all these new female jazz "singers" with that vomit inducing vibratoless whisper that seems to have become mandatory in that genre today......Jones clones.

Agree - I saw Robert Plant perfoming at a Queen/Freddy tribute concert concert. Looked like someone had loosened the valve and let the air out of a blow-up dummy - really dreadful. Yes, the whole trick is to hang up your badge before it gets to that.
Mark Knopfler is another guy I had respect for but after hearing his solo stuff it was like he was saying "hey guys, look how much I suck now". It becomes hard to separate that image form the original.

Biggie and 2Pac had the right idea - get shot while you are on top.

You f......ker!!!! The Crown - Jesus Christ it really is a tiny world. Hey, you didn't happen to stop off for a cup of tea in my mum's house while you were at it. Looks like you were just about everywhere else that I like to be but can't right now.
Like I said, I was hoping to be shooting off there to leave my dog with my family while I hop to Brazil for a bit, but I forgot about the six month planning/wait bit for taking an animal in. Actually got myself registered as a deaf guy and everything so he could come in the cabin with me. Well, now he gets to be my wing-man for the babes on the beach. None of that old six month malarky for Brazil.
Did you ever check out the Mrs Robinson scandal?
Pardon me, that is Foo Kin Noodles. A ten minute walk from the Crown, same side of the street.
That's funny Bongo. Hey, I am planning on going back home for a few days mid-summer - would you mind if I used you as a tour guide of my own home town, I think you know your way around better than I do.
That was a beautiful city Bongo before it all got blown up in the 70s - fantastic architecture, but most of it is gone.
I popped over to the Bourbon thread, but I as a beer drinker I am out of my depth. Now, if it was a "puff" thread.........
