Radio X Top 100.

Well that wish post seems to have gone down well, and as a side effect has cleared the air in my head.  Also gives some venting to stuff that would just build and build. Anyhow on with the show.

Radio X (possibly the best new wave band that never was ED.) which I'm told is what XFM is called now, have brought out a top one hundred of the best of British Music (Partial List here) with what can only be described as a lack of diversity.  Seriously, there's 15 Oasis tracks alone in there which is 15 too many for my liking and apart from Blue Monday no synth stuff at all.
Here through no fault of my own is my partial top 100 list.
