Its a classic though, possibly over played but I still love it. I've actually never heard that Stringsteen song before, not to gone on it either.

my feelings with the smashing pumpkins. just never warmed to their music for whatever reason.

as has been pointed out, music is so subjective. you could be the biggest metal fan going but still enjoy miley cyrus or paul potts or whoever!

Necro

Rothko's points definitely shake up the table a bit, but Bruce still leads the way. The Pumpkins are hunting down Starship now though as the Manics come from nowhere to force their way into the top ten. Muse climbing nicely too given they had been dead last with 0 points after 5 entries were revealed

With an inferior cover?

You just said what we were all thinking.

I'm fine with Johnny Cash covers though, I met my partner of 15 years on a message board because they had lyrics from Hurt in their sig and I asked if they preferred the NIN version or the original. I got an earful AND fell in love

That said ole Nick might be our first dance at our wedding just because he's so moody and suitable.

The world is, in fact a vampire.

12 points so cheaply to

Have to say Shane, it's surprising to see The Manics and Pumpkins followed by Adele and Trousersnake!

Absolutely nothing wrong with liking multiple genres of music EN.

My Spotify playlists can often jump from Iron Maiden to S Club 7.

I love Smashing Pumpkins but absolutely detest Manic Street Preachers - I think Shane probably has mixed feelings towards me!

Incidentally that Justin Timberlake song is class, I thought it was one I knew and was indifferent to, but this Surlaw opened my eyes to it! (That and the Scarface song, which I actually didn't know at all but also really enjoyed)

There ain’t no party like an S club party
