I don't care if it's a fooking Ken Barlow recommendation - it's still shite (even though I own the album. However, I can think of much more interesting music to play at a bake-off).... Oh, and if I hear any Snorah Jones, I'll be tying you up by the balls with one of your 'Ultimates'!!It's a Ken Kessler recommendation!
S'ok, if nothing else is achieved by your wee get together, I'm make sure that your musical horizons are broadened!

Ken Barlow was a funny name to compare to considering what's happening! I thought you liked Mr Kessler?

Indeed - and right now, Ken Barlow is more 'infamous' than KK (hence why I used his name)!
Yes, I like KK's style of writing/hi-fi reviewing, and no doubt he's got good taste in music, but just as I don't require him to tell me what kit to buy, I also don't require him to tell me what music is good! Unlike others, I don't need 'gurus' to follow, in terms of my interest in hi-fi and music. I have the capacity to think for myself.
'50 Words for Snow' is fine as inoffensive background music, at home, whilst sipping a glass of Gevrey Chambertin, but you need something a bit more, shall we say, 'challenging', for playing at a bake-off
No disrespect, dude, but your musical choices are all a little bit 'safe'. However, you're not alone in that respect.
