    Thoughts on 2023 Deathlist

    Updated for Bob Barker. If there are two more hits in the next fortnight we could have the earliest ever 13th Hit In 2003 the list was going great guns and then ran out of steam in early September. However with the talent left on the current list we could be rivalling 2020
  10. I was going to take three away and then changed my mind. I altered the score but not the figure at the end Edited now

    Aristocrats

    If only that were true Players of the original Scavenger Hunt game got a crash course in the nature of the operation of the Upper House but I agree whilst it is an excellent source of deadpool fodder it does not need its own thread

    Or we could have a special thread for members of the house of Lords - The End of the Peer show!!

    Football Manager Sacking Bingo 3

    I am not going to take any huge credit for this he was essentially a name from the lower leagues to fill the list. However, happy to be on the Scoreboard

    Art For Death's Sake

    Saw a trailer yesterday for the Sky Arts Documentary which features a new in depth interview with David Hockney. He sounds absolutely awful. I think he should be considered for the 2024 list
  22. In an unexpected turn of events both Dutran Duran tracks would rank above the two Madonna tracks - not peak Madonna

  25. It probably has the power of nostalgia for me. When I first got a Walkman I didn't have many cassettes so my girlfriend (now wife) taped two of her favourite Paul McCartney albums. Tug of War on one side and Give My Regards to Broad Street on the other. Later Paul McCartney's Greatest Hits was one of the first CDs we owned
