And I am an ethereal boy... My faves of 1987 in the Melody Maker end-of-year Xmas edition
original Q - who's the Best Artist Since 2000.... No overall single figures springs to mind, I'd have to divide it up into categories and with multiple contenders jostling for the top spot * Pop Star as Public Figure - Kanye West versus Ke$ha versus Lady Gaga (with the proviso I've little appetite for the audio bar "Bad Romance") versus Drake * Performer / Vocal Presence - Future versus Ke$ha…

I'm not sure what the logic was exactly but as tie-in to Shock and Awe , iD asked me to list my seven favorite / life-changing clubs / nights-out-dancing.
