"Albarn will never quite be the "real deal",as Gallagher once remarked " he's a middle class poseur playing dress up" "
You know, I don't get this hang-up on class. You Brits are ridiculous with this shit.
From what I've seen, Albarn never pretended to be anything but a classically trained, 'middle class' pop musician. His talent isn't a 'pose'. The man's written a Chinese opera for fuck sakes. Regardless of its worth as a pure opera, it's something Noel Gallagher could NEVER pull off.
Great to see Simonon again!.punk icon, legend, the real mccoy ..Albarn on the other hand always will be a musical "tourist"...flirting with other pop styles ( Kinks, the jam ) with Blur and now..sigh."world music",without really making anything his own, Albarn will never quite be the "real deal",as Gallagher once remarked " he's a middle class poseur playing dress up"
you're wrong. gallagher doesn't really embrace any type of music apart from his own and maybe he happens to get on well with paul weller too. damon spans all the genres and does justice to all. as q mag says, everything he touches turns to gold.

He's a twat. A fucking twat sometimes. Really. But he is completely sincere when it comes to music.
