Still a shit list but at least a few decent tunes get a mention. Still no Carter USM , PWEI or anything much form that era.

Not even a MENTION in the 'top 50', for 'IN SHREDS'!!

The NMH are just GAY.

Magazine - Rhythm of Cruelty
Magazine - Give Me Everything
Killing Joke - Follow The Leader or Wardance

MOJO is a decent music mag, nme is a waste of money.

What you mean is: "I'm too old for NME".

Anyone over 25 is, so yes.

So what more insighful comments can we expect from you?

"Blue Peter is rubbish. Top Gear is much better"

"School is crap now. I prefer working"

'Rainbow' is way better than Pebble Mill at One

Old Grey Whistle Test is an insult to elderly people losing their hair colour, and 'whispering Bob' ought to speak up a bit on those DVDs

 

[Dr. Notthenineo'clocknews]

and any list that does not include New Order/Joy Division, The Fall, The The, Talk Talk, The Sugarcubes is not gonna get my vote.

Sugarcubes and The The

Not a duet, but two bloody great bands that never get a mention

on NSC

my top 10 will indeed include 'Blue eyed pop' and 'Uncertain Smile'

Heres to you Sir
