Is That What You Call The 90s?

Erstwhile Funkmaster Phil pointed his jaunty finger at play.com a while back, gesturing me towards the latest emission from the Now That’s What I Call… A Cash Cow franchise:

  1. you utter cretin. how dare you grey out boyz ii men! whilst having the cheek to say the shoop shoop song is decent! candle in the wind is also treacly rubbish. once i got to (…shame this doesn’t go any greyer. -Ed.) on oasis, i stopped reading your awfulness.

    Unfortunately the credibility of anyone who calls Elton “Treacly rubbish” is completely undermined by their appreciation of Boyz II Men. This means that I need not even defend my opinion of the obviously superior Blur against Oasis.
