All I can say is, don't shoot the messengers.

With thanks to Shaun of Goole on Twitter for spotting this. Don't think he visits here, but anyway.

3 out of 6 of them would (possibly) make my top 10. One, maybe the top 20, Two would not get a sniff

Fanboy? Most of them were released as singles, I thought "fanboy" meant geeky obscurist type, and at least expected someone self-identifying as such to have picked an early B-side, two album tracks including one nobody else likes, one of those really obscure semi-mythical tracks, one very popular track but some live version from a gig 13 people were at, with just one single for good measure....

That list is so boring it's not even worth arguing about.
And I asked, "Are you dreaming about a crow?"
And there she was....

Given that you have to be fairly obsessive to be a fanboy or girl, I would expect something a little less mediocre than a list of songs. Let's face it, anyone with an internet can cobble one of those together. Now if we had a list of the band members preferred petrol station or a graph documenting who wears wrist watches during gigs, we would be in business.

Bit piss poor isn't it but as per previous posts it's not worth worrying about, that said I guess it's personal choice in the end. Bit of a lazy list mind.

This "you cannot make a new post so soon after your last one" is proper bollocks.

Indeed.
How about a 'farm-boy's' guide instead:
Grey Goose
Loving Animals
Favours in the Beetroot Fields
Chicken Pig
I Am a Cider Drinker

Or a 'flan-boy's' guide:
Pyrex
