You cannot criticise ER’s taste as the miserable ****er has never admitted to liking anything other than Sir Cliff.

If I could have got away with Rachmaninov and Tchaikovsky, I would... Strictly I could have put Rachmaninov because I have a CD of him playing his own piano works that was transcribed from a wax cylinder or some similar sort of pre-vinyl recording mechanism. Or how about Vladimir Ashkenazy? There will be some Googling going on for some of these names that won’t be familiar this side of The Pond. I have an inventory of my massive CD/vinyl collection so all but 3 letters were simple. For those I resorted to anyone that was on a ‘Various Artists’ collection. Shame I could not put Idina Menzel for I – you will know the one song – but she is outnumbered by the brothers anyway with three tracks. Abba Beatles, The Carpenters, The Diamond, Neil Estefan, Gloria Fleetwood Mac Gayle, Crystal Hollies, The Isley Brothers, The Joel, Billy Krauss, Alison Lady Antebellum Mattea, Kathy Newton-John, Olivia Orbison, Roy Pitney, Gene Queen Rush, Jennifer Strait, George Tillis, Pam Ultravox Vega, Suzanne Womack, Lee Ann XTC Yearwood, Trisha ZZ Top If I had put a duo known by their surnames then how would they qualify? Brooks & Dunn? Simon & Garfunkel?
Acceptable apart from The Beetles. They were a pre-pubescent girlie manufactured boy band that wrote music by numbers with ****ing god awful twee lyrics. The MOST overrated band, period. Utter pile of doggy doings. There were far better bands in the 60's that weren't aimed at 13/14 year old girlies.
