Indeed, Shin. Genius choice by whoever came up with that one. I may give it 3pts instead of my own.

I'd definitely have gone with this:

Something is seriously wrong when Rolf Harris is in first place at *anything*.

Hang on a minute, how is Two Little Boys about adolescence anyway? First they're, well, two little boys. Then they're grown men. They aren't teenagers at any point of the song. Can we get a steward's inquiry on this?

I like your thinking, rodders.

I nearly picked that one. Very close.

Indeed. The fact that two people, quite independent of each other, were the only ones to choose the exact same track, suggests it really should be more popular than it is. The last time that happened (much to the eventual chagrin of Shin, who relinquished the rights to The Bad Touch, despite actually being the first to choose it, after a circuitous series of circumstances), the track in question stormed up the vote, only being pipped into second spot at the final furlong. This time around, everyone who didn't give Nightmares On Wax at least one point is wholly and comprehensively wrong about all aspects of music.

The Facts of Life - Black Box Recorder has the artist/title the wrong way round.
Just being picky.

Tsk. If everyone would send their suggestions in the format "BAND NAME - SONG NAME", this sort of thing wouldn't happen (as I'm so lazy, I just copy and paste everything that I can). I should have noticed that though, I think I've actually got the BBR album featuring that track somewhere.

Expectations is a cracking track, and rescued Juno for me.
