  1. The song did not chart in the US so it is not surprising that it was not included in certain Greatest Hits compilations (There are many of these as my wife has a significant Monkees vinyl collection) but this game is about success on the UK chart and this track is a fascinating insight into Micky Dolenz's Anglophilia. Like Penny Lane and Up The Junction this has an important place in English urban folk. In addition there are many fantastic tracks by a range of artists that I would consider to be their best work that were not their biggest hits. However, No.2 on the UK singles chart is a significant achievement. It may not survive but I am going to support it.
  2. I like three, understand a fourth but the other two will be getting voted down unfortunately what I would like to replace them with are currently struggling

    So .. What Do You Watch On TV?

    My wife and daughter started watching the new series of The Traitors at first it wound me up because I knew that if I played the game I would be absolutely shit at it. However I got drawn in and have gone back to Series 1 and started watching it. Fortunately I have not read any of the fall out so I still don't know who won that so I am watching it as though it is live but it is a depressing show which has the worst traits of humanity on show. Fair play to the excellent Claudia Winkelman who manages to strike the right tone in her presenting.
  4. That song is probably the best Monkees song and a homage to Deathlist alumni Tony Booth

    Thoughts On The 2024 List

    The most deaths we have had in the first quarter has been six (in the record breaking year of 2020 and the seventh death was in the first week of the second quarter) assuming that our excellent start is promising a bumper year which four deaths feel like they should happen in the first quarter (very much "How are these people still alive?" as opposed to "I don't think they will make 2025") I will start with the obvious one: Jimmy Carter Nigel Starmer-Smith Joanne Woodward Sonny Rollins

    The Dead of 2024

    If we take the 7th as the date of death and extrapolate this pro rata then 50 hits would come around 4pm on 26th April. If we go with the 8th then we are looking at 8am on 13th May

    Franz Beckenbaur was a unique for @gcreptile which does not increase the number of ways of winning but does pull them level on hits with @Spade_Cooley but having the unique allows them to steal Phil Collins and Andy Taylor Game (as you might say) on!
