I've been hanging around on the forums for about 10 days now, so I thought it was about time I said a proper hello.... Hi all!! I've been following the death list for about 10 years now, but only started lurking around the forums in the last couple of months. Evidently not long enough to realise that @Sir Creep is not the official greeter....lesson learnt.

Should Acker Bilk be up to 25?

It bothers me too. It wouldn't be so bad if the next year's list included those who died in the last week or so of the previous year.

Merry Christmas to all. I hope you have all had a lovely day.

I was a little disappointed that 'Fairytale of New York' didn't make it to No1 this year, it would have been a nice tribute for Shane MacGowan. While I do already have it in my collection I did add a couple of extra downloads. Unfortunately I don't listen to music on a streaming service.

Thank you for the welcome. I will be heading over to the 60s game, but I need to do some listening before I play.

Thank you for the welcome, happy to be here.
