August 14, 200717 yr Someone in the lounge thread put The Beatles! Guess it's a reaction to the way they have dominated and continue to do so over the last 40 years+ Yep I've spotted that. Don't be surprised if I edit my Top Hate 20 list to include Mariah Carey, in the same position Kelly placed The Beatles. :naughty::D: And she include Madonna, Robbie Williams & Oasis in her Top 6 as well. :angry:

August 17, 200717 yr The Reynold Girls should automatically get the number one spot for this because of "I'd Rather Jack". Granted I even love the production that Stock/Aiken/Waterman did with it... still the lyrics alone are just ridiculous lolz. No wonder they were dropped from SAW so fast lmfao, the "choreography" in the video is priceless though hahahaha.

Nah they shouldnt be on the list as just the thought of that dance they do (the jack) is making me smile. actually now wondering if they are gonna be played again tomorrow on the hits as one of the videos on Timmy Mallet's Utterley Brilliant hits countdown ?? Obv a production group pisstake. :lol: couldnt have been a proper pop prosition. must have obv be writen for a laugh. actually think they are even more funnier than the Cheeky Girls (and they are totally iconic :lol:) and hair metal put together. due to this I think they should be replaced by someone who doesnt bring much laughter and happiness to the world...namely a comedy vacuum like Ben Elton!!! http://www.bbc.co.uk/comedy/guide/images/220/beneltonthemanfromauntie_1.jpg
