It's not worth tryin' for


Even Mony Python's Always Look On the Bright Side of Life couldn't shift him!

Good grief! Can you believe that it is 35 years since the joke that became known as "The Bryan Adams Years" was inflicted on this country? In this very week way back in 1991, Mr Adams' croaky love ballad and theme song from Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves was finally - mercifully - departing the UK Top 10, where it had been since the end of JUNE.

Sixteen weeks of that time was spent at Number 1! I mean - who the fuck was still buying it after more than four months??

Needless to say, I'm not going to be playing it. Meanwhile, what songs did this behemoth keep from their rightful positions at the top? Quite a few classics, I am afraid to say - like these...

... and this one!

Shameful.
