So did I and i agree about there being loads of Will's there. I, however, was 100% Jay. Which as it turned out, was worse, as i ended up being "asked not to come back" after my O Levels for getting absolutely hammered on my auld fellas home brew one afternoon and then sauntering into school with my two mates (who were in a way worse state than me) and acting like an absolute whopper.

Who is the duller though? Ryan Adams or Bryan Adams. That is the question. Having only heard about one RA song i'd have to go with Bryan, for the Robin Hood song alone. Although finding out that "Summer of 69" wasn't written about the year, but about the other 69, put him up a notch in my estimation.

I should have included I've Got a Feeling, to be fair, a bad oversight on my part. Dig a Pony was never one of Lennon's finest hours though. Likewise I, Me, Mine and Harrison. It feels like an album of off cuts and discarded demos that have been a bit beefed up. Similar concept to The Final Cut by Pink Floyd.

I've just listened to the four minute version of "Dig It" and its safe to say that you can see why they whittled it down to 50 seconds for the album.

It certainly came across like that. The ending was one of the most disappointing things i've witnessed in TV history, although in hindsight the quality had already dipped massively, even more so once they started having the "flash sideways".

I genuinely hope they don't make a Season Two of Squid Game, but i think they almost certainly will.

The sound quality is ridiculously good, particularly on tracks such as "Let It Be" itself (check out the maracas in the final verse). It's a shame the album as a whole is a bit of a mixed bag. Two of Us, Across the Universe, For You Blue, Let it Be and Get Back are all superb. The rest is scaping just above average at best, by their ridiculously high standards anyway. I just hope we don't have to wait until 2026 for a Revolver Super Deluxe.

I have to agree, Skids. Everyone raved about HMS Fable at the time, i tried and tried (ie i listened to it at least three times) before realising it wasn't for me. Not the worst thing i'd heard, but not the masterpiece loads claimed it to be. Life's too short to try and convince yourself that something is good just because other people tell you it is. The same thing happened with The Arctic Monkeys first album too. A mate tried to interest me in The Courteeners also. Under normal circumstances i probably should like all of these, as my tastes can veer towards that style, but i just couldn't get into any of them. In The Courteeners case they were genuinely awful, whereas i could hear the talent with The Arctic Monkeys and Shack, it just wasn't for me.

It was nowhere near as bad as Lost. It at least had a half decent ending and a cohesive structure. After Season 2 of Lost the writers were clearly making it up as they went along.

Queen - Awful, overblown garbage Nickelback - Why do the even exist? The Eagles - the worst of the worst of bland Americana Oasis - One decent album and then rinse and repeat with diminishing returns Arctic Monkeys - Tedious

Ray Kennedy, Souness, Gerrard. A midfield trio with everything.

Souness is a superb pundit mainly, but as we all know he let himself down badly in 1992, to the point where a lot of people have never forgiven him.
