Prefab Sprout was one of those few bands that proved pop music isn't all watered down, pandering claptrap. Paddy was a true songwriter, without a doubt.

Intelligent, articulate and honest with heaps of integrity! I agree Paddy. You are one of the finest song writers and up there with the other greats!

Yet never gets name-checked among the general public. One of the best things about Prefab Sprout was at least in the 1980s they were a more intelligent, adult alternative to all the manufactured bubblegum teen pop (especially the Stock, Aitken & Waterman stuff) and faux, European Milli Vanilli-like dance-pop where people relied more on dancing and lip-syncing than artistic merit.

The seemingly cheery sunny disposition of Paddy always hides a darker, gritty more foreboding element in his songs. Pop on the surface maybe at first listen but he always hits you with gritty, edgy and often depressing reality.

There was some good stuff in the 80s but PS from a songwriting perspective were way above. That comment from the interviewer about their live performance not living up to the records was a typical shit thing a critic would come out with. Paddy was a song writer first and foremost and a damn good one at that.
