Another cog in the murder machine

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

As some of you will know I work for a market research company. Here's an email I sent round to the staff yesterday:

"So an easy pair of questions to divert you for half a minute:

Name a currently active band or recording artist a British teenager might know about.

Name a currently active sportsperson a British teenager might know about.

Simple as that! Name more than one if you like."

I have snipped the 'why' since you, The Kids, are not to be trusted with the secrets of The Man.

But I have now compiled the answers I got. What do you think people said (and what SHOULD they have said?)

Nobody mentioned Basshunter.

Yes to Hoosiers though for some reason I don't think of them as being a band teenagers like.

they, they, are kind of, like, sucky?

see smugpop discussion last week.

they're like the ben stiller of gtr-pop...

this is true

[pony-meat.livejournal.com]

but they're not awful (and i agree ben stiller is weak)

and i don't hear their name mentioned as much as other overrated pop

+any band with the name containing an instrument/genre must be aces, right?
