THANKYOU KAT YOU HAVE MADE ME A HAPPY WORKER

Wot no Neds?

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Only 5 top 40 singles.

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

Pleasure :)

[freakytigger.livejournal.com]

This was actually quite difficult! PWEI's best singles (Can U Dig It excepted) didn't go Top 40; I ticked all the Carter traXoR I actually like that are on this list, and I couldn't bring myself to tick more than one thing by the awful Wonder Stuff.

Moonshine Firewater Captain Morgan Johnnie Walker

I actually thought Carter had more hitZoR than that too - shame no room for Anytime Anyplace Anywhere in the hearts of the UK public.

do i get a tick limit?

But 80+ t-shirts!

This is a very bad record. But not even the worst Wonder Stuff single. Did the one where pop's Mr Controversy Miles Hunt expressed the shocking opinion that paedos were bad chart?

much as i love carter, pwei just got better and better.

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

fvck 11 across all 3!?!!?

but...

HOW?!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I only realised Def Con One wasn't in the list just after posting the poll, hence Big Mac Fries To Go being a question heading... It only got to number 63!

[jauntyalan.livejournal.com]

answer: untick all wonder stuff, untick 3 PWEI songs (i ticked all 11 originally), give carter 3 for the MUST HAVES

[sbp.livejournal.com]

Rly? I would have voted for that. I'm sure there's another Carter track that I know. Oh well. I think I used 4 or 5 ticks, despite being at uni in '91

I had Sheriff Fatman in my head all morning, and had only just shifted it. Damn you.

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

I thought you were kidding!

Slightly random qn

[boyofbadgers.livejournal.com]

When did PWEI become so beloved of thee children ov thee night? When I went to their reunion gig a couple of years ago fully half the audience were of a gothickal persuasion, but I don't remember them having any significant goth following at all the first time round.

How can one man be so wrong?

Re: WHO WANTS TO BE THE DISCO KING

[boyofbadgers.livejournal.com]

I have absolutely no recollection of this record, which I can only reckon a good thing.

[boyofbadgers.livejournal.com]

Why the PWEI hatorade?

[braisedbywolves.livejournal.com]

They're the "cool" "deep" Carter - no-one needs that!

Re: WHO WANTS TO BE THE DISCO KING

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

I am unfortunately able to furnish you with a copy. It is actually their 2nd worst song behind On The Ropes.

Re: WHO WANTS TO BE THE DISCO KING

[boyofbadgers.livejournal.com]

The lack of recollecton is a good thing, I mean, not the record!

[katstevens.livejournal.com]

*splutter*

Deep?
