Thanks Mikey! It's hard to narrow down to 10! A few that just barely missed the cut for me: Reason, Be Careful What You Wish For!, There'll Be No Tomorrow!, Die 4 Love, Lousy Sum of Nothing and She Won't Be Home (Redux). I tried to pick a track from Tomorrow's World and World Beyond and just couldn't find any that I would put in or near my top 10. However, even tracks I don't care much for are better than a lot of other crap out there. Well, except for Stop the Cavalry, which has to be the worst Erasure track ever. Holy crap, it's awful. (I'm aware they didn't write it.)

Anyways, here's to another 10 years of V&A!

No they do not, and neither do previously unreleased versions of older songs or live versions released in the last decade! That would just be chaos!

I'm afraid I disagree Mikey.

It's not big, and it's not clever.

I think Mr Blue should be banished from these forums for a couple of weeks to give him time to think about what he's done. On his return he should only be allowed to stay after giving a full and sincere apology, followed by a revised top ten list including only actual new songs from the last decade. I know he can do it and he knows he can do it - his most recent post naming more favourite songs is evidence of that.

Very disappointing I have to say. He's let himself down and he's let everybody down.
