Day of LISTS, part one

Nov282000

Nerds HEART lists...

OASIS have headed up an entirely arbitrary new chart in today's Metro newspaper...

To accompany a story about the Government relaxing the ban on buskers on London Underground, and said buskers being made to audition before they will be granted a license to perform, they've come up with a list of "Top Tube Tunes", and Wonderwall is at the head of it...

It's a list of golden oldies, with the only other popEx artist being crinkly Bob Dylan with "Knockin' On Heaven's Door"...

The full lineup follows:

  1. Wonderwall, Oasis
  2. Streets of London, Ralph McTell
  3. Yesterday, The Beatles
  4. No Woman No Cry, Bob Marley
  5. Wonderful Tonight, Eric Clapton
  6. Hey Joe, Jimi Hendrix
  7. Hey Jude, The Beatles
  8. Mrs Robinson, Simon and Garfunkel
  9. Knockin' On Heaven's Door, Bob Dylan
  10. American Pie, Don McLean

Bit of a suspicious list, where is "Here Comes The Sun", "All Along The Watchtower" or "Reign In Blood"?
