@Snowy Sauces. North London has lots of sauces. I've met journalists who have interviewed them, roadies who worked with them, shop keepers and waiters who have served them, cabbies who have driven them. The reputation of Pink Floyd is as being massive divas.
They are big mates with Jeremy Corbyn and supporters of the BDS movement too. Their uber left-wing, preachy activism matched with their personal conspicuous consumption is irritating. Roger Waters has shared a stage with known antisemites and Holocaust deniers. He claimed, without evidence, that Israel was to blame for the death of George Floyd. He accused the White Helmets of faking Asad's chemical strike on Douma in 2016.
Love the music, but can't stand them as people.
Cheers. I had no idea about any of that.
I don't read the "entertainment news" or anything like that so completely clueless. Actually as far as music goes, I buy it if I like it, if the artist is a knob so be it.

I'm not a big Jazz fan but some of these people produced some great sounds. The BBC's top ten Jazz musicians - just so the distinction is clear about "modern"
- Miles Davis
- Louis Armstrong
- Duke Ellington
- John Coltrane
- Ella Fitzgerald
- Charlie Parker
- Billie Holiday
- Thelonious Monk
- Bill Evans
- Oscar Peterson
Bunch of clowns making shit up as they go?
Nina isn't on that list but was considered Jazz. So I'll leave it with this:
Need to click the utube link - dunno why it didn't imbed.

Nice list. 99% awful
See, that Nina Simone song is mostly OK until 2:26. WTF is the point of that shit? Ruins the song completely

One of the most unique and interesting bands I saw was the Preservation Hall Jazz Band in New Orleans. They played in a small hall that was like a sauna inside in the summer but it was cool to see 60 and 70 something cats playing.
Who knew there was a market for teeny cat sized instruments.

Jazz music stinks. Bunch of clowns making shit up as they go.
Not unpopular (at least it shouldn't be) nor incorrect
Used to agree, but two things changed me.
The movie Whiplash
The Cotton Club in ShanghaiBoth are epic, and all about jazz.

I love Whiplash, I've seen it about 10 times. But it's great despite the music, not because of it.
