"a curiously old-fashioned list" Dude, it's a list compiled by Word magazine readers.

Yes, but I imagine they're not ALL pipe-smoking septuagenarians.
Eeeeh..
...when I wur a lad, it wur all green fields round here....etc...etc...
How dare they suggest that *I* of all people...
am not digging furiously at the coalface of popular culture? Bloody cheek!
Now where did I leave my slippers?
PATRICK!
You left them in the toilet. THE TOILET! No, not the kitchen, dear, THE TOILET, ...how about a nice cup of tea...etc...etc
Blood on the slippers
Uh oh. I hear a stampede of excited new members coming along to tell us exactly what they think of this result.
It was Cheryl! He did it! Don't hit me, this is a Meerschaum!
Their fans are already in uproar
Nickleback!
I'd rather listen to Chris Martin breaking a new pair of shoes in.
An object lesson
in truly lazy journalism. Or rather "journalism".
20% of Word readers? 20% of
20% of Word readers? 20% of those who bothered to vote, which would be how many? Amazing how much the media loves a list isn't it.
We had about
460 votes in total, I reckon about half were from Word
Credit where it's due
Nickelback have raised half a million dollars for charity.
And I quite liked "Rockstar"
[fetches coat .....]
eh it's all right
certainly preferable to Crazy Town, tiresome derivative mysoginistic oaf rock that makes Limp Bizkit sound like Morrisey, so much so I voted for them TWICE in this but to no avail. I was gonna go for Northern Uproar, who I managed to see live twice (unwittingly) during their "heydey", but even they didn't think they were any good.
It's the personalities though isn't it? If chuckles out of Razorlight kept his gob shut rather than constantly going on about how he's personally better than The Beatles or somesuch nonsense, no one would care too much.
Anyway, why the hell are The New Radicals in the list? - they only ever had one song, and that was BRILLIANT. Was it because of Gregg Alexander's stupid hat?
You're all fakes run to your mansions...
...sang Alexander, who went onto to pen hits for Ronan Keating and Texas.
true
and he also affected a deeply irritating "I hate everything and you're all a bunch of brainwashed drones" attitude in interviews.
Still a great pop song though
Indeed
I was about to describe it as one of the pop tunes of the noughties but I've just realised it came out in the late 90s. Time flies he?
