[kj] Top 50 songs of 2000-2010

Yeah, it's been a while since they played anything off MFP (I'd say 
Stretcher Case is more a single, that happened to be on MFP!). Problem 
Child in about 1979 would be the last time.
I kinda go with the bands view of this album... dig it out every now and 
then and try, but nope, I don't think I'm ever gonna really like it. DDD is 
of course a classic, but it's gotta be the unholy trinity of MGE/Black 
Album/Strawberries for me.

Still enjoying So Who's Paranoid, but not played Grave Disorder for a 
while... liked it at the time though. They're still usually very good live, 
but no Scabies leaves a big hole I think. A truly great drummer. It still 
seems a bit like Vanian/Sensible +3 these days. Glad they're still around 
though!
