Best British Songs Since 1977
Apparently, the BBC and some other group have created an award for the Best British Song Since 1977. Yeah -- pretty vague. Anyway, the list of nominees have been released, and they are as follows:
I think the list is totally wack, personally. "Best Song" is too vague and subjective, but whatever. Secondly, I do not really like how they put The Streets on the list, which, although The Streets are good, I think he is more of a modern fad/trend and not as timeless as London Calling, for example.
Who do I want to win? I would have to say (in this order of preference)
1. Love Will Tear Us Apart
2. London Calling
3. That's Entertainment
