Is Chris Rea Really That Underrated?

[Still]

A merry grinchmas to you too, Mr. McC.
This is a discussion forum, and the thread topic invites ratings of Rea.
No further discombobulating required.

Yes, your opinion's very stimulating for ongoing discussion, isn't it?

Crass is as crass does, but probably best if you get back under your bridge.

Bring back Bazza, he'd sort it, what a gent he was.

Pot. The. Kettle. Black. The. Calling. Rearrange into a well-known phrase or saying.

Crass you continue to be.

 

[Suffolk Tony]

Nicely finessed.

You didn't stipulate anything re: using the same words, order of letters, number of uses of letters, etc.

I thought Rea was only known in America for "Fool If You Think It's Over"?

Noel Coward eat your heart out.

I think his language was a tad more fruity.

I worked with him a couple of years ago and his health was very poor. He couldn't make it through an entire gig and so did a double bill to take the pressure off.
I really liked on the beach.

In the event of Mr. Rea attempting to perambulate down the road to hell in his automotive vehicle once more, I shall have little option but to hide his googles and leather cape.

Chris sticking his ciggies on the end of his guitar string, growling his intros in a Geordie burr.

Geordie! He's from Middlesbough

 

[Joe Hutch]

I always get him mixed up with Chris de Burgh.

I always get him mixed up with Chris de Burgh.

I made that mistake too, until I realised Rea was a good steady seller and worth carrying stock, de Burgh not so!

Oh, I thought you were trying to stop him from driving home for Christmas.

Chris Rea is a talented musician. Good luck to him that he has made enough money from the old stuff, to be able to use his limited energy after the cancer, to make the music he enjoys

Possibly Tony of Suffolk also misunderstood.

Seen live a few times, Sheffield City Hall sticks in the mind, he appeared to decide the audience where up for it, and played his socks off. One of the best live shows I have seen, in one of the nicest venues. The good part about the thread is, I very much doubt if Mr Rea gives a flying **** what any of us thinks.

Played a mean slide guitar.
