50?  I thought that was a bit optimistic, but looking thru the list, there's only a few I havent heard of  Belle & Sebastien had some chart success a few years ago over here. Not particularly rocky but quite interesting all the same.... |

Lulu used to go & see Alex in a wee club in Glasgow all the time & it was Alex that used to sing "shout", that's where Lulu first heard the song that would eventually make her a "star"!! |

It's not all bad folks. All the young kids will be saying "Who the f*cks that at #5?". They may just want to find out and get themselves an education !
