I do not rate the streets at all, they should give up now.

You're not serious, are you? This is the man that brought us "Leaning back on my chair in a grea-sy spoon cafeteria, put on your classics let's have a little dance shall we?" etc etc.

Hmm.

Mike is a song writer and his lyrics are beyond genius. I'd like to see someone better him

(Although that Dizzee Rascal may just do that - He's promising)

It just seems odd that you can like the talentless crap that is The Streets and still have the nerve to deride other artists. Not that I would class Mike Skinhead as an artist - anyone can shove a tape recorder into their pocket on a Saturday night, then play it over a generic drum and bass piece on Sunday morning and call it a song.

If you like The Streets, here's something else you might like:

The Streets are absolutely brilliant.

Uh huh. And of course, liking one kind of music that you don't like instantly unqualifies me from mocking leotard-wearing fairies who wouldn't know rock if it bent them over their living room poof and administered a sound rogering. And they'd probably like it, but they wouldn't learn from it.

Sorry, I didn't really qualify that statement. You were the guy who said you liked The Streets, right?

Perhaps because you admit to a love of spandex and high-pitched squealing?
A bit like Batman with his badgers caught in a utility belt?

And why is that?

Yes. They've been around about 10 years longer though, and they play slightly weird Gothic metal rather than cheesey spandex-suit-fests.
