Agreed.
In about 1980 I saw UB40 perform at Portsmouth Guildhall. During the performance one of the band said "Let's hear it for Nelson". The irony/humour seemed lost on him and most of those around me.

OK. I've already got two strikes so here we go again.
12. I'd never seen (or heard) this version before but thought it was brilliant! I'm going to say miss.
13. got to be a big tick 🙂
14. I'm going to say a tick (suspect he wont get past the first 40 seconds)...
Tony.

Re 12, Kon already knows I hate that version with a passion, I think they utterly destroyed a truly great song. Otherwise correct 😀
Looks like I struck out before we hit 15! 😀 Just interested was it the harshening of his voice towards the end, or just the whole thing in general? I wasn't sure about the heavyness of it as it ramped up. But as I said I really liked it (as I do the original).

I hate every song on that list except 4 and 9 which I'd class somewhere between ok and good but 15 is the worst.
Probably because when it was in the charts I was working where I had no control over the radio.
Bryan Adams 'Everythig I do...' is another one I hate equally.

I think I already killed the mood with the last one, so maybe not 😀
On 15. After that reception I don't think Scott would even admit to it if he liked it so tick 😀
Tony.

I've been away for a few days, now just looking back over the last few days I think that last theme has to qualify as the most bizarre since I joined in FEB 2015!
As for my thoughts on the lists contents, 9 is the only decent one that I know off.
I'm not familiar with a few of the others, but that's probably for the best given some of the comments
I'd say No13 was probably the worst on the list.

I almost posted Keith Harris and Orville - Wish I Could Fly 😀 worse still i reckon
No ones rushing with a new theme so go for it Gas ...
Some years back I attended Lincoln Steam Rally for the weekend. A couple of friends decided that to enliven the weekend we would each purchase an item of tat from the many sales stalls. The items would be rated in order of bad taste by a lady known to stand no nonsense. The loser (ie the person having the least bad taste item) had to display all three items on their mantelpiece for a number of months. The most tasteless item was deemed to be the copy of Orville in picture sleeve purchased by yours truly. Was I glad to be rid of that!
