Guess I’d better join in, in that case.<br /><br />Obviously, I want to suggest every song from Quo’s 1973 “Hello!” album but I guess that’s not in your so-called “rules”, so instead I’ll have to plump with this lot:<br /><br />1. Hello – James<br />2. Hello – The Beloved<br />3. Hello Hello Hello Hello Hello (Petrol) – Something Happens (I get a bonus point for remembering the (Petrol) bit, right…?)<br />4. Hello - Evanescence<br />5. Hello – Prince (Smart arse suggestion: this is the Outro to Side One of the Purple Rain Soundtrack, that has to be played backwards)<br />6. Hello – Paul Anka (a cover of Lionel Richie’s “Hello”, from Anka’s “Rock Swings”, which shows a fundamental misunderstanding of the phrase “Rock”)<br />7. Hello – Oasis (although this should be banned for the Gary Glitter bit)<br /><br />And three that I’m pretty confident won’t be in your list:<br /><br />8. Hello - Martin Solveig Feat. Dragonette<br />9. Hello - Stafford Brothers feat. Lil' Wayne & Christina Milian<br />10. Hello – Twinkle. (NB: Not the same Twinkle responsible for Golden Lights….saucy video ahoy!)<br /><br />Points please!
