OK - my question was to discover 'groups' with personal talent that could produce inventive and entertaining music. Now I am told that there aren't many other than solo performers, which as I say goes rather a long way to proving my point. Radio Head is drivel, and Arctic Monkeys scrape the bottom of the barrel, Primal Scream does not make that rating. James Blunt is a nice young guy, no question, but it is in the same vein as many ballad folk singers. Kylie has been incredibly strong and has 'reinvented herself' for survival and health, a remarkable performer with a clear idea of presentation. Madonna is nothing more than a cheap talentless thrill - I want music. As to progress, that generally is up; it takes skill and an inventive creative mind to ensure it remains in that direction
