AKA the Guardian has another pop at predicting the pop revival.

That said I like all the acts mentioned who I've actually heard. Perhaps this is the Real Thing!!!

I hope that any young girl guitarist or drummer out there have more sense than to be swayed by what this idiot is saying. Butch or not, 100% of girl drummers look better whilst drumming than Phil Collins does.

Oh, and as I said on your vidsarealright post, I think "Quicksand" is really good, but (to follow on from koganbot's good point above), it's a big, quite well-done steal of 'Purple Rain', explicitly "When Doves Cry", and is using good rock qualities to make the song awesome. Which ain't wrong but, as with his concern about Lady Gaga (I really didn't like "Just Dance"), makes me wonder about her future stuff somewhat. She may just have got lucky with this one.
