Minor points, but there you go.
also, re Avril's third. Be careful not to get the cleaned up radio friendly version. It doesn't make it that clear on the cover.

Yeah, I was quite looking forward to hearing Avril sing 'Motherfucking'. It's certainly a step up from the 'shit' of the second.
I was a bit too young for the songs mentioned, and they all sounded weird to me at the time.
Have you noticed that Chemistry is about 5 millions times better than Sound of the Underground? And, did you notice that about the time of Justin's first record pop albums started being good all the way through, rather than 3 singles and a load of gash (including the obligatory, sub-La Isla Bonita 'spanish' track)? I have a theory that says that as soon as the majors started going into freefall (Napster, Audiogalaxy) they suddenly realised they could no longer survive on insubstantial/ half-baked material. And, in contrast to many people, Kelly Clarkson's most recent record is utter shite by comparison to her first (very good) record. Which I wouldn't have bought were it not for Mr Neurotic's recommendation. I never did say thanks. Thanks, Mr Neurotic.
