The fact it took 10 minutes to write sums it up I think... I bet Sure took weeks.

I was waiting with baited breath for Vastariner's thoughts on Back For Good, and was disappointed.
For me it's an improvement on an unprecedented scale, unfathomable really. A band who hitherto had done a few uninspiring covers and their own material had all been utter drivel, suddenly release a single which is, well, very good. It makes no sense. I still felt shocked by it watching these repeats, it's just a great song.
The show in general seems to have lost its way a bit now though. Exclusives of songs which aren't that good, album tracks, playouts of old footage. The link to the actual singles charts seems to be fraying, which is a shame because there's some good stuff they're missing.

There was a terrible bit in End Of The Road by Boyz II Men, which is mad because the whole track is terrible but this bit was even worse than the rest. They performed it on Top of the Pops and it was painful, but I think they edited it out of the radio version and the 7" release because they knew it would just be too much for a UK audience to take.

Oh dear God, it was worse than I expected. It’s the inane wittering I can’t cope with - “Twenty 4 Seven featuring Captain Hollywood who, by the way, was not a real Captain”. It’s like I can feel myself losing vital brain cells every time he starts talking.

I swear Outhere Brothers are the absolute worst act ever to make the UK charts. I genuinely can’t think of anyone worse, not Black Lace, not The Smurfs, not Keith Harris and Orville, not any of those whiney people like Boyz II Men, Usher and Akon.
That performance had no class, no talent, no artistry, not even a discernible tune, just two grinning bald idiots bellowing heavily censored lyrics because the original words are so base they’re actually gynaecological. Utterly horrible, and they have an even bigger hit coming up later in the year too. Grim.

I'm just hoping the format of Pick of the Pops is restrictive enough that Steve Wright's personality is not able to shine through. If I hear the word "factoid" I'm liable to launch my radio out of the window.

I remember making a mixtape for a friend in school and including C’Mon Everybody by Eddie Cochran, it was the late 80s and had been reissued for some reason and made the top 10. He asked me, in all seriousness, why I’d not included all of it.
I just checked and that’s 1m 56s.

I had hoped the return of 1995 might spark a lively re-energising of this thread, last week’s episodes were a bit dull though to be fair. Sleeper were fantastic mind, and the quality of that Human League track was a real shock at the time. Now gritting my teeth in readiness for 7 weeks of Celine Dion.
