Surely this is more a comment on Radio 2's play list than on peoples choices? If they had to choose from Radio 2's Top 100 albums by number of plays, and there is still 100 albums on this 'favourites' list then, this is the original play list shuffled into some kind of popularity order. None of my favourites are on here, but I still listen to and enjoy Radio 2 in the car sometimes.
Have to say a word in defence of Keane as they are getting a bit of a slagging (not really my 'thing', I'm off to Download this year for the weekend ) but I've been along with the missus to see them a couple of times and they are a class live act. That lad has an amazing set of pipes on him and it's a very 'positive' vibe compared to normal gigs. There are even family groups, with young kids and grannies along. IMHO if a band gets kids out to see live music, played by a band (rather than the 'go-go karaoke' that passes for a lot of the tosh they get fed these days) then they can't be that bad.
Coldplay, on the other hand.....
