 Position 21 in my rankings came 19th here

[TQR 12,341]

Honestly, ranking this top 25 was really hard. Any of the top half could swap positions based on my mood. Of the ones that have gone so far:

 

Jamiroquai (25th) was my 16th

Cornershop (24th) was my 22nd

Whigfield (23rd) was my 21st

Madonna Frozen (=21st) was my 5th

Queen (=21st) was my 25th

Britney (20th) was my 9th

B*Witched (19th) was my 14th

@Paul Bearer You’ve done two too many plus points and two too few minuses.

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.

 

 

Very much maligned and misunderstood 

[Book 3,365]

Next voter please correct Adamski to 33 points and The Verve to 15. Thanks.

 

Paul, please concentrate while voting.
