Agree that there's no obvious alternative to Antonelli anymore, next years car will be a complete re-write of the current one and they are giving him the time to develop. There's plenty of talent there, he just needs to get his confidence back.

Eville!😂 Great to see them pop up. Quite a few I'm familiar with this time. Surprised Within Temptation weren't too well known though

Joan Jett and Lita Ford's original band. Did the very well known Cherry Bomb

Interesting to read through this. Agree with a lot of what you're saying, particularly about White Stripes as similarly I find them inexplicably popular. That being said, when I decided to learn bass Seven NAtion Army was the first song I learned. Mainly because it's so simple and easy to play. I don't mind pretty much everything listed so far, (except maybe St Anger but I'd have to listen to that again to be sure) which is probably to be expected but I can't say there's anything I really like so far. Probably Jane's Addiction but that's far from their best. They were brilliant back in the day and their Nothing's Shocking album is an all time favourite of mine. I'd posit there's definitely material in the their first two studio albums that's worth your time. Summertime Rolls and Three Days maybe. I look forward to following this thread though

Some massive deflection from both Colton Herta and his Andretti Global boss, Dan Towriss when both were quizzed about rumours that Will Power will replace him in the team next year, thereby allowing Herta to move to F2 and set him on the path to an F1 seat in the future. When specifically asked if that was the plan, Towriss said 'That's not what we're reporting today' This would be a very interesting move and could set up the potential for repeats of this kind of move, especially with teams like Prema who have entries in both series. Anything that tries to solidfy F1's regular claim to have the 20 best drivers in the world in the series is a good move.

Surely Don Broco were worth a mention in the musicians from Bedford section? 3 top 10 albums including a UK #1

Bottas will finally serve that 5 place gird penalty in his first race for Cadillac

You have the same Pulp song there twice btw

The official record begins in 1978 and is as accurate as I can make it as some blanks have been carefully and painstakingly filled in.

I have sent an entry too

I've had a go and the 2004 to 2013 era is comfortably my weakest area. There's at least one guess in there and another guess came to me immediately after I sent my answer!

Depends if they find out what their actual policies are What do Reform voters actually make of the party's policies? We went to Blackpool to find out.

DJ Jazzy Jeff and Fresh Prince are just stage names though and they were quite well known in music circles, long before the TV show. Both the Rock the House and He's the DJ, I'm the Rapper albums were given quite a bit of press back in the late 80s. It's no different to Alice Cooper or Marilyn Manson in that sense, as they are both described by the artist as characters that they performs as.

Although I'd probably exclude them from the list, The Monkees deserve a mention. I mean, they were a fictional band who didn't play anything on their early records and only provided some vocal parts. Between 1966 and late 1967 they were merely actors playing roles as a band. It was only the pressure to perform live that forced Jones and Dolenz to learn their instruments. They discovered their second album existed whilst on tour in 1967. In 1968 when they gained control over the recording process, they released two albums that qualify them as a real group but they rarely worked together. Much of the stuff that came out under the band's name was really solo work by one member.

A worthy winner for sure. Surprised by #2 which is a great song but I feel benefits from being liked enough by most people to earn high average marks maybe? Even more surprised at the remix being more popular. Can honestly say I didn't know that existed and have never heard it before. (Gave it a quick listen and hated it so no loss there for me). Most of the top half was all quality stuff I liked even if the order would be re-arranged somewhat. Would have commented more but had a very busy last week and weekend. Great work on this rate. Really enjoyed it.

I would've voted for Lulu's The Man With the Golden Gun too but it wasn't there. Never realised that wasn't a hit.

Nothing from the latest batch that particularly moves me, except perhaps Baba O'Riley but that's not even among my favourite Who tracks

Pixies, Stones, Pink Floyd are the biggest to fall for me so far. Three stone cold classics, curiously each from a different decade. Also, Surfer Rosa is the best Pixies album and I'll fight anyone who tries to tell me different.

I have to admit I don't actually mind that particular Kiss track, even though it's always been considered something of a joke song by a band many already considered a joke in the first place.
