Dark Horse and Roar by Katy Perry are two of the finest songs of the 2000s. 

[manchestermusicreview]

Oh, and Rihanna’s ‘Loud’ album is seminal. Only Lorde and Winehouse come close to competing with that.

I'd be interested in the biggest tours (in terms of numbers of tickets sold rather than ££). That would give insight into the biggest live acts.

Might surprise ya

I find it funny how massive Garth Brooks is and I know nothing about him.

Despite growing up through Disney's renaissance in the late 80s early 90s I never had much affection for the films or therefore the music as a child. But now my kids are watching that nonsense I love singing along when the tunes. The Lion King and Moana's soundtracks are amongst my most played albums.

I would be 100% behind a micro-venue that played Disney tunes all night.

You'd have to confess to liking him surely? Baffles me why he isnt just busking on a street corner.

I think Moana might be the best film they've ever done.  Certainly it's my favourite released in my lifetime (I'm 40)

I always turn off whenever I see him on Match of the Day.

I fear those sweating in their meerkat outfits will be left as disappointed as those bringing a green door to Shakey.

Are you including Pixar in that?

No.  Despite the visual similarities these days, I find Moana and Tangled much more like old Disney films than Pixar films, so I can't really compare them.

Good because Inside Out and Monsters Inc are better than anything Disney has ever done, with the possible exception of The (original) Lion King.

Monsters Inc and Lion King aren't as good as The Jungle Book.

That one's up there too, for sure. Peter Pan is my personal favourite, but you quite rightly have to keep that quiet these days.

I always tell people that the first gig I ever went to was Iron Maiden in 1981. I say this because it's the first one I chose to go to.

My actual first gig was one I was dragged along to by my parents, it was Tammy Wynette. I fell asleep.

The first gig I chose to go to was The Boomtown Rats when I was 13.

My actual first gig (dragged along with babysitterless parents) was Val Doonican! Then Charley Pride! I really enjoyed both of them!

Boomtown Seats? FFS!

Blimey, Charley Pride. That's not a name you see mentioned very often, my dad had loads of albums by him. I've just had a look and was amazed to see that not only is he still alive, he's still touring.

Val Doonican is from my hometown. I think it was Waterford law that you had to have at least one album when I was a child. I was quite the fan of Paddy McGinty's Goat.
