Surprised with the amount of support to a fair but not exceptional Elvis number compared to an overplayed but quality Queen track, solid Stones number and of course Armatrading.

Don't know the Armatrading song but "Start Me Up" is a mediocre Stones song at best and Queen bores me to tears.

It may not be your bag but YouTube Armatrading, one of my very favourites.

Yellow Submarine - The Beatles - 4/10 - Not a patch on Octopus' Garden
Hold The Line - Toto - 6/10 - Fairly decent track for its genre
Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus - 7/10 - Love the lyric and a great tune
Woman - John Lennon - 6/10 - A decent melody but a bit dreary and a shit lyric
Mighty Quinn - Manfred Mann - 9/10 - I've always loved this track
Love And Affection - Joan Armatrading - 8/10 - Another excellent song, love the build up and release
Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley - 7/10 - I've never been a big fan of Elvis but this is a good one
All Right Now - Free - 6/10 - So overplayed but I like the breakdown bit
Start Me Up - The Rolling Stones - 7/10 - A bright spot in the heaving mess of their 80s output
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen - 9/10 - Great great song but I don't need to hear it any more
There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

Per Heston:

Yellow Submarine - The Beatles - 7/10 - Fun
Hold The Line - Toto - 0/10 - Shit
Teenage Dirtbag - Wheatus - 0/10 - Shit
Woman - John Lennon - 3/10 - One of Lennon's worst solo songs
Mighty Quinn - Manfred Mann - 9/10 - With Heston on this one
Love And Affection - Joan Armatrading - 6/10 - A fine song
Jailhouse Rock - Elvis Presley - 9/10 - Great song, don't care if it's overproduced or overplayed. The King is The King.
All Right Now - Free - 6/10 - Again, with Heston
Start Me Up - The Rolling Stones - 8/10 - Again, with Heston. One of the Stones last, great gasps of talent.
Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen - 6/10 - About par on the Free song for me. Decent classic rock stuff but not what I love.
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a bowl of soup
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a rolling hoop
Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle like a ton of lead
Wiggle - you can raise the dead

Pex Lives!

Why do no Americans like Wheatus? It seems tailor made for y'all with the references to Iron Maiden and guns. Yet, we Brits made it a smash hit and it tanked in America!

I hate it!
Now it just got intriguing. 101 and I generally only agree on the standards Clash, Jam. SLF. Specials, Pogues.

Place your bets. Once I leave the bar Ill give it a listen.

Yes, I said up thread. James voted it best though, he's in the firing line first.
