so, someone has had a go at mapping the history of pop music onto the London Underground map...
my first thought was "ooh that's pretty/clever/funny"... second, "hang on, where's so-and-so, etc.?", and then (once my critical firewall downloaded from Dissensus eventually kicked in) "why i say, this whole thing's shamelessly ideological!" the most glaring omission seems to be any punk/post-punk line, and (as the artist admits) the fact that the pop/circle line has to share all its stations with rock and hip hop eliminates a lot of acts perceived as pure pop, which is a bit of a drawback.
