[Sir Creep 7,039]

In response to @TQR 22 songs, There are a fair number of listenable ones, but my first scan I see 5 songs I think are ‘brilliant’, and hopefully a couple get to the final 8.  There are some that shouldn’t have gotten this far but hey.  I see the ones we just spent two weeks with are getting beaten up and that’s probably cuz we are tired of seeing them lol.  Anyway this should be interesting.

That Shamen record is rubbish. Someone thought they were being clever by writing a 'song' with the chant 'Es are good' in it and a lot of sheep mistakenly thought they were being cool by buying it. If they had sung 'Peas are good' no one would have bought it.

Yes I am aware I've forfeited the moral/musical high ground by upvoting a bit of girlband fluff but it's catchy and I like it.
