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.
