@yellowpen I feel the same about people saying they'd ban The Smiths! (And MSP to some extent, but their best songs aren't the ones endlessly played on the radio.)

It's actually really interesting to see how we all have such different musical tastes. It does make me wonder who is buying all the Ed Sheeran, Coldplay & Sam Smith records/CDs/mp3s though as someone (a lot of people!) must be but they're getting a lot of nominations.

I kind of agree about Robbie Williams, but I do t think we gave to suffer him as much now as we did c.15 years ago, when Angels was every-fucking-where. Worst. Song. Ever.
