    Weak Selection of Songs

    Why start off the set with a mid-career Smith's song? It would have been better to being it with Hand In Glove or This Charming Man. The same with the Bunnymen since "lips like sugar' is just a mid career wanker. Something from Crocodiles would have been better.

    And although I love New Order's Regret, it's a late career tune. Why not - well you name it since there's about a dozen other singles that would have been better suited.

    Also - what's left off - No Wedding Present, That Petrol Emotion, The Weather Prophets?
