They are well known to you because you are pretty damn knowledgeable when it comes to the music industry, what you know covers a wide spectrum and is second to none! The points that have been made, and not just by me, is that there little known to the wider audience and there is the utterly fucking obscure. This person is perceived to be in the latter and I question the wisdom of putting names on the list that only a tiny minority of DL regulars and visitors can actually identify with. Part of the fun/chase/skill is, surely, picking people that are known to a wider audience and are the most likely to go this year. Where is the fun in picking the obscure over the well known that you have researched and found info which suggests that they may go and the wider public hasn't caught on? Isn't it true that people will discuss and speculate over, say, Barbara Windsor than G PO? Hey, Gianluca Vialli is dealing with Pancreatic cancer, he is certainly more famous than G PO and worthy of discussion? That would have been a better pick on the 50 list, maybe? All an opinion, nowt wrong with discussing it, its got to be a valid discussion. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Toast 16,132 Posted January 16, 2020 The Committee pick whoever they feel like picking, my Lord, that's surely well established. I don't think they give a flying fuck about anybody else. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

All an opinion, nowt wrong with discussing it, its got to be a valid discussion. A person is as famous as to whomever knows them. Perhaps they're regarded as a household name, or they might be considered as having more of a niche audience. Genesis could be a gamble and only obits with music publications, who knows. There have been some picks that I might have considered them to be famous enough to warrant a full obit but only get a mention on some fan blog site. I mean take William Woodson. For about 6 years he was the voice of the commercials for the MInnesota Twins. When he died, not even a mention in the Star Tribune or Pioneer Press which are the two main publications. I wouldn't let it bother you. The real fun would be to put up your shadow list and see if you can outdo the DL committee 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JQW 281 Posted January 17, 2020 P-orridge did gain some notoriety in some of the Sunday tabloids in the mid-1980s due to some allegations of Satanic child abuse. Nothing ever came from it - I presume (s)he'd just pissed off some over sensitive god-botherers. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Slackhurst Broadcasting 374 Posted January 17, 2020 As said before, I think when he goes he’ll get a surprising amount of media attention. One cause will be people in the media remembering hearing/owning Throbbing Gristle records in their younger days; another will be that his life and career will provide an opportunity to talk about various sexy subjects like transgenderism and “shocking” work in the arts and music. (TG were highly provocative in their subject matter, with songs like “Very Friendly”, about the Moors Murderers, and a film called After Cease To Exist which they showed at their live shows and which climaxed with a scene of a guy tied to a table being castrated.)
