As an NME reader during this period it was totally possible to like both Schooly D AND the Bodines - just as many, many Comics Journal readers cld like the X-men AND Love and Rockets - it def felt like the division between rap and indie was as much an NME editorial invention (to stir shit, excite debate, boost sales whatev) as it was a 'reflection' of ppl's rec consumer choices/tastes. Perhaps this kind of factionalism hardened during the 80s - especially as the music papers got more and more indie-rock focussed/friendly.
