Anyone else watch this, it's been on repeat on bbc three for **** knows how long now, possibly years.

....I've found a new love, and it's for people who appear on these shows and criticise for the sheer point of criticism.
Music critics, people who get paid to criticise music ....

"shiny hapy people, well i dont know what its like over in california but over here in britian were not so shiny and happy, so you can just **** off back to sunny california"

"what rock band writes a song about war anyway?" - That being refered to the manics who were portrayed as these studenty, self-loving whiney immitation intelectuals.

There was no real reasoning behind the criticisms, I got to watch a bunch of people count down this list and make complete arses of themselves. If you don't have a genuine criticism then why ****ing bother coming up with one!!!

On the other hand Most of the list seemed agreeable...

However im rather fond of

Also I feel you can't really criticise a song for being over-played, or for the people that listen to it. I will srvive, although immediately i think of desperate unattractive rat-women with bad karaoke, was a great nuraber. Can't knock it because the people around you are doing bad version of it.
 
I think it's actually kind of a catchy song but damn does it have some awful lyrics. I really don't ask much from pop lyrics, honestly, but in that song they're distractingly bad.
 
That's debatable, and contrary to popular opinion. I've never met someone who actually 'hated' that song. Or the Manic Street Preachers for that matter. I just can't believe it was in that list.
 
I like Cornflake Girl, Money for Nothing (even though it's not even close to the best Dire Straits song)...and...so far as I can see...that's just about it.
 
I'm torn about Money For Nothing. The full length version goes on way too long, but the single edit (on the Money For Nothing comp) doesn't have the "***got" verse, so whatcha gonna do? Still, yeah, nowhere near the best RAB song no matter how they edit it...
 
Bare in mind these people work as music critics and get payed well, I thought the meaning of that song would have been a given...but aparently, it's not. And they let these people tell us what to think :)
 
For migrane inducing annoyance nothing beats "Surfer Bird" by the Trashmen. I've had people threaten to kill me if I ever played that song in their presence again.
 
99. Beautiful South - Perfect 10
77. James - Sit Down

44. Arctic Monkeys - I Bet You Look Good On the Dancefloor:crazy:
no way this should be in the list
