    9/10 - that's got to be a contender for being played out to at my funeral. So far it's Always Look on the Bright Side of Life or that one. Let's hope I find a few more options before I have to ultimately choose. In that case, perhaps I should give it a 10.

    I like Lou's stuff, but not his best. 5/10

    It's hard to keep up and I don't think any are getting missed on purpose.

    MB: XTC - Dig them 8.5/10

    MT: Lou Reed - Pretty OK 8/10 (although I've downloaded and have been getting into Lou Reed a little more lately)

    Now, how about this one that we skipped:

    Sorry mark, I missed that one!

    I think it's a little too pop commercial for me! 3/10

    And Papayahed... I sooo remember that song from my past! A true classic! 6/10

    Sorry - carry on Mark. I think I've stuck my oar in too much.

    Do you like Frank Zappa by the way?

    I didn't like that one. 3/10. I liked the animation though.
