Whats the bet Daniel O'Donnell or Joe Dolan will be in the running. :eek:

P.S. I forgot, Teenage Kicks - The Undertones :p

RIP John Peel.

How the Blades failed to break internationally is one of the great injustices of popular music. Which is why I like football more than music.... it rewards talent more than music does and is less susceptible to fashionable trends.

The only reason I did not suggest the Blades myself is I am torn between about three of their songs.. Downmarket and The Last Man In Europe are a bit special too.

Teenage Kicks I love because even I can play the bar chords to that one on a guitar :p
