Seriously, don't worry about it, I thought there was bugger all chance of your meaning it, I've known your style, and we each other in the context of this place for several years now (omg) but couldn't quite put my finger on it exactly.

You fixed that.

Not a good 24 hours for my favourites 

 

14/ Firestarter - my #1

13/ A Little Time - my #7

12/ If You Tolerate This... - my #3

11/ The Drugs Don't Work - my #8

10/ Sleeping Satellite - my #12

 

I guess the songs that polarise are more likely to be eliminated early, whilst those left at the end are the ones where everyone thinks "it's OK"

Not everyone; there are four of the last 10 I think are absolute shite.
