@maili_ I concur that the list is completely ridiculous. Congratulations to anyone who decided to put skrillex on it. Only a total moron could do that, seriously.

@licoricepizza: Unfortunately, yes. http://www.spin.com/articles/spins-100-greatest-guitarists-all-time And they even state about Skrillex "Look, as far as we know, our asymmetrically coiffed party pal has never held a guitar in his life." This automatically invalidates the list. Even if Anna wasn't in the top 100 guitarists of all time (but lets be fair, she probably is) she should be on the list because she is automatically better than Skrillex. Ugh.

@maili_: is that true?! Do the judges have tinnitus or something? Also, if the top two aren't Jimi Hendrix and Jimmy Page on that list, you KNOW it's totally bogus.

@Marthu that's a really great way of putting it, it took me a while to really decide whether or not i really loved her music cause i couldn't quite figure her out right away. i'm very interested in her future releases, i think she could've waited a few years for her debut, as achieving the style she was going for seemed to be the biggest focus on her S/T. that makes me really hopeful though, cause i already love her debut and she'll just get better from here! she has a lot of room to grow and seems very ambitious so i have no doubt she'll keep pushing herself. i just hope the people that didn't like her debut don't write her off just yet.

@akglumstubble Anyway there's no objective criterion to judge whether the artist has originality or not. It's just the matter of taste.

*sigh* My better judgement tells me that the Anna Calvi shoutbox probably isn't really the place for a philosophical discussion of "authenticity in the arts". Really didn't mean to come across as didactic, either. Again, *sigh*.

Exposing inner-workings and revealing one's personal process, however abstractly, equates to authenticity. It's a nebulous thing, though, more effectively sensed than physically discerned. It's also by no means synonymous with blistering originality. One thing is certain though -- music now is no more or less "authentic", and certainly no more or less "original", than it ever was. Unless a composer/songwriter has lived in a vacuum their entire life, they're only going to be able to build creatively on the foundation of the past. But, as so many of the themes explored in music are archetypal and therefore practically DNA-encoded, you could argue that complete originality couldn't even exist within a vacuum. Origin-ality, on the other hand...

Yeah, got it. Let me clarify: I'm not saying that I feel the two artists are particularly alike, aside from the fact that both have had their music tiresomely associated with the work of David Lynch. It's just that Laura Sheeran seems to bring a considerable amount of nuance and "the personal" to her soundworld, in my opinion. I find myself wishing that I could detect the same authenticity in Calvi's work. Instead, what I hear feels like the sum of several of her influences, and just fails to really resonate meaningfully with me -- however much I might wish it could. Still, let her marinate for a decade or so in this cruel world of ours and she may very well astonish even me. I hope so! I certainly only wish her the best. :}

@ akglumstubble They're totally different. Calvi's music is closer to 60s western themes and classic rock.

Nope, I don't quite believe her, for some reason (Affected vibrato? Strangely emotionally hollow lyrics?). I think I'll stick with Laura Sheeran to get my "Lynch-kick" for the time being. ~ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hRQxZcsteNg

I completely agree with all the posters below who said that Anna was the stand-out of Laneway Festival in Australia, a huge credit to her given the quality of the line-up.
