I've just realised that, unlike in earlier rounds, there's nothing here that I love.

I wouldn’t say I loved any of them, but unusually I know them all.  There’s probably only 2-3 left that I don’t really like.  Downvoting for me is going to be difficult this round.

It's a pretty atrocious set. 8 I can enjoy as a random listen, 3 I would be happy to hear again within a week. The rest can get in the bin.

Nine are on my regular players. Though it probably has something to do with my Brother-in-law randomly buying me Now 1992 one birthday

You see the print of the pier? My parents have had that exact picture up in the living room for 20 years. I'm not the "hand-eye" girl though, honest.

Does anyone know what it is that he wouldn't do? A bit late to ask him anyway.

He discussed this a few years back with the BBC here, pointing out that the thing(s) he wouldn’t do are actually covered in the lyrics.

Several people downvoted re-releases as a matter of principle in previous rounds yet Bluebells seem to have got a free pass. Not that I mind particularly given it's one of the better ones in a pile of mostly dross, just saying....Still a few left in the 'even worse than Mr Blobby' category. Says it all really..
