Good tunes, but I can no longer get past Watkins and what he's done. Anyone else struggling?
Lost Prophets - is it still ok to listen to their stuff?

Also enjoyed their music, though their last album (Weapons) was pants.
Hmmm.. I haven't really thought about it. But now I am thinking about it. I think I will delete from my Cloud player. The man is a nasty, vile individual. I can't be seen to support someone like that.

I'm not a fan, but I'm sure plenty of people still listen to Gary Glitter at home, you may even hear Rock and Roll Christmas being played in the next few weeks. Although it's unlikely to get much airplay on the radio. I guess Lostprophets will be the same, their back catalougue will now be worthless, which is a shame for the other band members.
IMO the music and the person are two different things. Would you stop looking at a work of art if the painter was a murderer or rapist?

I was completely shocked by the news! It is surreal.
As for the music, they made one good album, the 1st one, everything else they did was utter crud.
I remember the incident with Static X guitarist trying to elope with a young girl, I still listen to them occasionally. But not often, not least because every song is pretty much the same.

I wouldn't feel very good about listening to that music now.
As for Gary Glitter ... His records were in the charts when I was a teenager, so I used to have fairly fond memories of distant fumblings whenever I heard them again. Being reminded of child abuse, though, that doesn't work for me ...
Sorry for being blunt about this, but while we are passing judgement on those who continue to enjoy the work of disgusting people ... do you lose any sleep over the people murdered by the gangs who produce your party cocaine? (You'd be stupid to admit to it online, but the statistics suggest that hundreds or even thousands of you enjoy a regular snort!)

This is the old can you enjoy Wagner if you're Jewish schpeil. I think it's a fair while since the consensus among thinking jews is that yes, it's ok. The man is one thing; the music another.I wouldn't feel very good about listening to that music now.

As for the cocaine riff, that is of course a whole different issue. But has it ever occurred that the reason people who get murdered over cocaine get murdered is purely because of its legal status, as defined by organisations which receive vast sums from manufacturers of that other ever-popular party juice (which, in passing, kills vastly greater numbers directly every year than cocaine ever does) - alcohol.
Oh, and I'd never heard of him or them either. Just general narcotic-oblivion, I guess...

Nothing. But when you can afford to settle out of court, I suppose you're allowed to do what you want.

Fair weathered,fair minded but easily persuaded.
Horrible horrible thoughts but there was more than one person in that band, should they be made to suffer because of what that vile person did?
It would be good if legally he could no longer receive any royalties but that won't happen.
