Genuinely rotten albums by brilliant artists plus the band that started cancel culture

Sauntering in carefree, conversational mode down the rock and roll bridleway this week, pausing briefly to lean against a tree and tootle upon a mouth-organ, we came across the following …

… bands with no original members left - Lynyrd Skynyrd, Motorhead, the Crickets, the Ramones, the Jimi Hendrix Experience, the Drifters … any more?

… things musicians are obsessed with.

… albums by acts we love without a single redeeming feature – Blondie’s The Hunter? Bob Dylan’s Saved? The Dead’s Built To Last? It’s Hard by The Who?

… the night – exactly 20 years ago – we saw the Dixie Chicks make their career-capsizing comment about George Bush.

… the hilarious left-right shift in Russell Brand’s brand values.  

… the main reason some people go to Glastonbury.

… can you love an act as much if you don’t own their records or CDs and just stream them?

… a Northern Soul DJ’s £250,000 box of singles being stolen from his home after a gig.

… and Mr Inbetween, the Australian crime drama that’s like Saxondale meets Reservoir Dogs.
