"A girl's idea of what rock music should sound like". As if that's an insult.

[Philip Marlow]

I like a bit of swaggering, uncomplicated machismo in my rock as much as the next man (there are far too many AC/DC albums on my shelves for me to deny it), and I'm not carrying any particular torch for Prince (or Bowie actually) but fucking Nora Jesus; do some people never, truly, really, outgrow the 'girls are yucky' nonsense that a boy ought to be leaving behind him at twelve years old?

It's a race to the bottom these days to lowest common denominator politics. first to scrape the barrel wins.

Depends on the girls, of course. These ones seem to have the right idea

The contempt for Prince's instrumental abilities shines through, green and sour. Yes, he didn't do big fucking riffs, but it wasn't because he couldn't. The dividing line between the good and the great guitar player is the ability to play shit-hot rhythm guitar for the song, not hide behind a repeating figure until you get to the solo. That's why Hendrix, Prince, Steve Cropper, Chet Atkins, Willie Nelson et al are geniuses. I love Zep and a big crunchy riff as much as the next man, but Jimmy Page's finest work was the subtle stuff.

In short, Delingpole would prefer Noel to Rory Gallagher, because he's a simple-minded cunt.

It's worth noting that just about* every guitarist, and indeed musician, that expressed an opinion on Prince's passing highlighted his incredible skill as an instrumentalist. This included the likes of Kirk Windstein and frankly I think that someone who does it for a living (and has "RIFF LORD" tattooed on his knuckles) is probably a better arbiter of what makes "proper" music than a journalist who has apparently only heard Stairway to Heaven.

*There will always be contrarians and exceptions of course.

[The Weeping Angel]

Hey be fair James needed some good clickbait.

[Watchman]

James has heard of Led Zep, Littledick name drops Wilko Johnson...........white men rock!

[Hairy_Ears]

The thought of Littlejohn or Delingpole rocking... *shudder*

[Coupled Moment]

I think there is a picture of Littlejohn's rocking days that might help you properly fix the image in your mind...

[Bones McCoy]

The thought of Littlejohn or Delingpole rocking... *shudder*

Chuck em in the mosh pit and set it to extra spin.

[MisterMuncher]

I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure Wilko Johnson would peg our Dickie for a cunt.

[Messianic Trees]

Delingpole with a reminder of what a snivelling little shit he is:

Isn't it puke-inducing being lectured about poverty by millionaire comics?

[bluebellnutter]

Almost as puke-inducing as being lectured about "not being a twat" by a grade A twat.

[The Red Arrow]

As puke-inducing as his hissy fit over the Austrian election?
