“No, I bloody haven’t listened to….” might be just me but does anyone else have an album they refuse to listen to because people won’t shut up about it or regard it as classic . For purely childish rather than taste reasons you are a refusenik. Appetite For Destruction perhaps? If you want we’ll force you to do so and give your verdict.

I know Twang wants to do a Jazz cast so help him out.
