It's a bit American really.... some of those I've never heard (although I do applaud their choice when it comes to that good ole redneck, Billy Ray Cyrus )

This is the Channel 4 rundown from around a year ago. It's maybe more relevant to the majority of us round these parts (but remember folks... just cos' it's made the list, it doesn't mean it's a bad record! )

Theres 11 there, which means I've got 39 of the worst to 50 records.

Mind you, if the poll was taken at the local Hells Angels monthly crash'n'mash meeting, then their views of "worst" would probably make me go out and get the above 11.
