"The Greatest Greatest Songs - EVER! As voted for by YOU!"

Oh, and by the way, in one of those side-boxes they have, they asked a certain celebrity about their favourite song:

Chantelle Houghton - Big Brother Winner
"My favourite is 'You're The One For Me, Fatty' by Morrissey, for a number of reasons. It reminds me of Preston, my mum and my stepdad."

Jesus, what a crap list!
How could the Arctic Monkeys stand higher than Smiths' How soon is now?
A.M. doesn't even exist for a year!
What a f***ed up list!
 
the other day there was a list of 100 favourite albums in the english papers voted for on a radio station and there wasn't one smiths album there! sorry if it has already been mentioned
 
Every Q list is crap. It's what's turned it into a totally crappy magazine. The sooner they give the crappy editor the boot the better.
 
A bad influence of course!
You should hear my mum when I talk like that! "Where did you learn to talk like that? Go wash your mouth with soap!" :rolleyes:

it's partly because of all the hype surrounding them. when that list is done again in a few years time the smiths songs will still be there, probably higher, whereas the arctic monkeys songs will be a lot lower or not even there at all as all the hype will have died down.

well, now you can tell her you learned it from no one (and not be lying!) ;)

also, hilarious that she just idly instructs you to wash your mouth with soap!

(you know, this could be a really good topic for a thread! how rough do you talk and what age did it start? maybe i'll do it.... :D )
