Does a crap economy bring out the best in British Music? The 70s had Zep, Deep Purple, Black Sabbath and so on. The late 80’s and early 90s downturn gave us indie rock; the La’s, the Bunnymen and so on. The North's best music seemed to come from boredom and economic doom and gloom. A lot of the stuff in between was tulipe. OK, Radiohead are pretty good, but Coldplay are just a tulipe imitation band playing indie-for-the-platinum-card-generation. Maybe now we’re in for some brilliant new music. Maybe we should hand out guitars to scruffy looking teenagers and see what they can do?
