Just had a look through the next round’s lineup. God in heaven, what a load of gash. Difficult to know where to begin with all the minus points (after we’ve put down the Bunny, anyway).

This is the period I lost interest in contemporary pop music and got into classical instead. So much dross. Hard to pick 5 I like.
Let the bunny shoot commence.

Each to his own obviously, but you have 3 lots of Jive Bunny, crap charity singles, dull cover versions and one of Cliff's naffest, and you think this is the worst one there?
