For less original, progressive thoughts and more insipid barbie doll pop crap, you can turn your dial to MTV. I prefer this brilliant wanker.

Witty, intelligent, passionate.

He'd probably get voted off in Week 3 when Louis suggests he sings "You raise me up"

[Eyeflys117]

Who else could deliver a line like "state of undress" the way he does?

Hey Rupert, torture this young man to death.

I remember this so well - my first exposure to Billy. One of those eye-opening moments, never to be forgotten - at the time it seemed a little odd to have something so radical on the BBC first thing in the morning, but it was one of those things that had you saying 'good on you BBC, this is what the kids want'. Round about the same time we were also grumbling about the fat cats at BBC giving Selina Scott's million pound contract for doing nothing. Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose !

Good old Selina Scott, made me get up in the morning to go to school in 1984. How could you miss her? Brilliant Billy Bragg song, got me through my first months in uni 1985. Workers Unite!!!

[Darryl Snow]

The poor bloke that is Mr TV has no idea how to deal with that. Disconnect or what?

[Tom Costerton]

But it shouldn't be.
