Talk:Be-Bop Deluxe

I simplified
I simplified the discography section by separating studio albums from live albums. I also removed track listings from the collections (best ofs) since there are more collections and retrospectives than studio albums from the group. A link to the discography page at Permanent Flame should suffice for anyone interested in further details (in fact I'm not sure we need full track listings from any of the albums).

The band name: Be-Bop Deluxe
If you research, you will see that *four* of their five original studio albums are credited to Be-Bop Deluxe, not Be Bop Deluxe see here for example: http://www.discogs.com/viewimages?release=540655 (E-Kartoffel (talk) 22:30, 30 March 2010 (UTC))
 * Axe Victim (1974)
 * Futurama (1975)
 * Sunburst Finish (1976)
 * Modern Music (1977) (as Be Bop Deluxe)
 * Drastic Plastic (1978)

All their albums are credited to Be-Bop Deluxe, the Modern Music credit is only a variation on the cover, on the label it is Be-Bop Deluxe (E-Kartoffel (talk) 23:07, 30 March 2010 (UTC))

trimmings
I took the following off the intro section: (albeit often hidden beneath Nelson's quirky lyrical and musical metaphors). While perhaps an accurate assessment, it is also editorializing as there's no cited source for the opinion. Weeb Dingle (talk) 19:25, 15 July 2017 (UTC)

Be-Bop or Be Bop?
Don't know which it is, don't really care. But the article looks half-assed if the title of the damn thing doesn't match the text. I reverted back so it matches, and suggest that there be a consensus reached before changing basic elements of the article like the subject's name. PaulCHebert (talk) 07:03, 24 December 2018 (UTC)

British English
Be-Bop Deluxe were a British band, That's why we have the   pasted at the top of the article code. In British English musical groups are usually referred to in the plural, e.g. "are", "were", "they" etc. For the purposes of comparison why not look at the articles for other UK bands such as The Beatles, The Who, The Rolling Stones, Led Zeppelin, etc. etc. Thanks.

 * As in the date formats, we go by what the article was first created for whatever format is to be used. Hopefully, that WAS British English.

Original Research
This section contains a lot of unreferenced statements. Look, I like the band, you like the band, but making up your own opinions on albums and group direction is a huge no-no. Blogs - unless coming directly from a band member - are NOT Reliable Sources. Let's get this article cleaned up, folks. That probably means deleting a lot of stuff from this section.50.111.35.97 (talk) 12:41, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
