I can't understand why the worst of the three Glitter songs is the highest though. 

And the best one is circling the drain.

He always upvotes and downvotes songs that are at the bottom, I honestly doubt that he listens to any of them.

I listen to all the songs I vote for, I don't think this one is as bad as many others that are highly rated, I also can't imagine how many songs are highly rated, I find a lot of them boring

I agree everything below Hell Raiser is terrible except for this classic instrumental.  As has been the case on these lists there are eejits voting on the artist’s character rather than the song, and they should therefore recuse themselves.
