Johnny Marr recently began his career as a Visiting Professor to the University Of Salford’s school of Media, Music And Performance by delivering an inaugural lecture that focused on the notion that the greatest music has always been created by life’s outsiders, stating “nothing of any value was ever created inside the British or American music business”. During the speech he named eighteen different bands or artists directly and we’ve put together a mix of songs from these very bands: Professor Marr’s outsiders. Listen below, read the lecture HERE.
