Here we go again

Here we go again: “Rock band Radiohead are emerging as the pretenders to The Beatles’ rock and pop throne, according to a wide-ranging survey of musical tastes”. Precisely what definition of ‘wide-ranging’ are they using, I wonder. Wretched Colin Larkin list makes for flaccid column inches once again, shock horror. And once again hand-wringing over lack of black and female artists on the list - incidentally how come nobody ever asks Larkin why this is? They probably wouldn’t like the answer, judging by the crowing over the artistic inadequacy of hip-hop I remember from the first edition of his vile book.
