Hmm, the taste of Q readers.

So, I read the headlines, and get this one:
Beatles hailed 'best of British'
and I go to read the full story. I mean, I love Day in the Life, it's a great song. But, um, the full top 10?

1. A Day In The Life - The Beatles
2. Waterloo Sunset - The Kinks
3. Wonderwall - Oasis
4. God Save The Queen - Sex Pistols
5. Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen
6. My Generation - The Who
7. Angels - Robbie Williams
8. Life on Mars? - David Bowie
9. Sympathy For The Devil - Rolling Stones
10. Unfinished Sympathy - Massive Attack

Oasis' Wonderwall at 3rd best song of all time? It's shite! The rest I can see as pretty good songs (especially good to see the Pistols there), but, well, most of them aren't 'of all time', they're 'since Rock music was invented', and even then it's dubious. Ah well, popular votes for all time categories are bound to get stupid results.

"Robbie Williams' Angels, described by the magazine as "virtually our alternative national anthem" polled at number seven"

oh god. kill me now. where do they get these people from?!

i used to read Q. it was the obvious move after smash hits. however, it became a bit too 'lads-mag' for me. i have since moved on to word - it does films, books, music... everything really. and the articles are interesting - you might enjoy it mat, it's an intelligent magazine, they don't patronise their readers. sometimes i get bbc music too. far superior to classicfm.

See, I like Angels, it's a top song. But alternate national anthem? Well, anything is better than Rebellious Scots but. Don't think I ever really read Q, but I'll give Word a shot if I see it.

Tend to rely on the net for reviews these days, even if the review itself is from a print source.
