Are we sure this is McTaggart?
Sounds more like Brother John Robb to me. Heh heh.

A point well made though. Bitching about other peoples' favourite 
bands is harsh (though great fun), and I don't think the list is 
the place for it, really. I think one of the fantastic things about 
B&S is the way they come to unite people, not in an unthinking, 
we're-all-alive-together, Oasis-stylee, but as individual reference 
points, or like a jumping-off point, and things like the list are a 
part of that.

What I mean is that, when you 
find someone else who shares your adoration, the chances are, not 
that you'll all possess the same Beatles-Ned's-Black Grape British 
Heritage CD collection like with other groups, but that they'll be 
able do you a singularly enchanting mix tape, and sends you off in 
loads of fantastic directions, and vice-versa. They're a part of the 
great big, sunny paper-chase of pop/films/books that, seventy-percent 
of the time, makes life worthwhile. That and the All Saints pictures 
in FHM.

Who rattled my cage, eh? Jeez.
