That’s not a bad set tbh. Centerfold a bit Radio 2 but the rest fine

Agreed. While Centerfold does make my top 10, there's a couple of others I would have preferred to go through.

This is a strong list. Like TQR, just moving a few things up for now, I'll have to have a think and a listen to a couple. Don't hate Pie Jesu as a song, but it's no chance here, and I have a soft spot for the Frog Chorus from childhood.

Nor me. I love all sorts of things, Beethoven's 7th especially off the top of my head, but it's no pop song and nor is this.

It's a decent list actually with, strangely, not one thing I absolutely detest for a change. Jimmy Nail isn't going to make it either but even that I don't hate.
