These lists are subjective, so pinch of salt always required.

I will admit to liking Queen, as does Laxgirl, who watched Bohemian Rhapsody multiple times. The box set of Queen 1 is good fun (I haven't bought it, just been listening to it on Amazon Music).

I will also put a shout out to Girls Aloud. Sarah Harding, who very sadly passed away, was from my neck of the woods, went to school with some of my (now grown up) lacrosse juniors.
That's fine regards Girls Aloud but Bananarama have been way more successful.

Agreed, and I have some Bananarama Singles and greatest hits CD (even though my favourite, Cheers Then, didn't make it on there), but no Girls Aloud stuff.

There are a few songs I really like (Killer Queen, Don't Stop Me Now, Under Pressure) but I couldn't make it thru a whole album. Definitely one where the Greatest Hits would be more than enough.

That's fair enough, I can definitely see that they wouldn't be everyone's cup of tea.

This is the one for Girls Aloud. 5 different parts before anything repeated - 1:32 - 1:56 especially good.

I love "The Promise" by them...

There's a tiny, tiny hopeful part of me that says you guys are running a Kaufmanesque long con on the board

That video always reminds me of the nightclub scene in French Connection with the Three Degrees
