POPFITES: The Saga Continues

More than halfway through the first round of Popfites, and with BOWIE and DAPHNE added to the ranks of winners, are we any closer to finding out what makes a great pop star? Perhaps the entrance of two of the BIG GUNS will help us, ranged against a bopping elf and a pop prankster - are there shocks in the offing?

There was a great Chris Roberts(?) piece somewhere in MM (or poss. in that MM "Unknown Pleasures" paperback) which may not have been about Bolan as such but mentioned Metal Guru getting to #1 and the impact Bolan / that event had on him and indeed an entire generation.

I only 'got' this by proxy so to speak (via my older sister), but I knew exactlky what he meant.
