"Disgruntled fan Keith Butler?s outburst ? at the Free Trade Hall in Manchester, though some still insist it happened at the Albert Hall ? was a key moment in contemporary music. (Worth remembering that Paul Simon was banned from Auchtermuchty Folk Club for being ?too avant-garde?.) It sparked off a debate between traditionalists and switched-on eclectics, one that?s analogous to the long-running battle between beboppers and ?mouldy fygges? in jazz, and not much more helpful. Like most such debates, it was little more than a dialogue of the deaf ? or tone-deaf in some cases ? related more to label politics and turf wars in music promotion than to music itself. But like all such debates, it also had a tendency to collapse into a grand, eclectic compromise."
