Sondheim Poll
Mon, 17 Nov 2003, 10:49 amWould it be possible to add one extra option to the Sondheim Poll?
• Nothing, they’re all dreadful
For you see, dear adjudicator, there are luddites such as myself, who think that Sondheim has never written anything melodic, or in tune in his life – rather a series of random notes played off key. I’ve always suspected the bastard escaped from the Hammer Horror studios.
Cheers Â… I mean Arrrrg!

Tue, 18 Nov 2003, 07:02 amGod no!! I loath Lloyd Webber. All his shows are based on one tune, although I think he's written approximately two songs with great melodies (two more then Sondheim). And if anybody mentions Gilbert and Sullivan, I'll slip into male menopause and scream.
No, just to prove my insanity, I dwell in the realms of Brel, Cohen, Sting and Dylan. Oh yes, I've always loved P.J. Proby's gutsy version of "Maria." He `used to commence his stage show by starting to sing the song off stage, then enter from stage left somersaulting across the stage, perfectly in tune, power and pitch. Now that was an act!
