Top ten all time p4p

[Barn]

Haha, I'm just helping with the next 43 when Barn rounds it off. Solid list though we can always argue anyone's order. Hands up, I always knock Charles further down my list than I should and probably put Archie Moore up a few slots higher than most but lists are personal.
The Charles ploy is also to distract people from the fact that Baksi is slipped in somewhere

Yeah, that list was a copy and paste from a few weeks back and when I did it it was:
"Oh ****, Archie Moore is way too high."
The most difficult part of making lists is typing in all the numbers once you're done, I wasn't up for doing that again lol.

I was planning on putting Baski at 58, and McFarland at 59

And still he misses Pep off! I know you do it to annoy me

Ok my friend its make or break here's what you need to do:

1) Pop yourself in a quiet room
2) Put on some Pep on one of those big screens
3) Pour yourself a glass of wine, not beer this is culture after all. Re the wine I'm afraid it has to be a French Red. I know the French are cheese eating surrender monkeys and red isn't your favourite colour but trust me. Americans do some fine things, wine isn't one of them.
4) Turn off the sound/commentary and put on something classical. By classical I mean Verdi/Puccini not that Iron Maiden noise you are fond off.
5) Lay back sip your wine, let the music wash over you and watch the beauty of movement that is Pep.

PMSL! I personally prefer Italian wines Goes with the Italian cuisine I like to cook :grin9: Believe it or not I have some Verdi although I personally prefer Vivaldi :geek9: Pep, I think, would be better suited to Stavinsky if I was picking the soundtrack.....or maybe Rimsky-Koraskov :chuckle9:

At least that din of yours hasn't totally ruined your hearing
I can do some Led Zeppelin as I wasn't a total fossil when they came on the scene after that I lose it. Although if it was a choice between what you listen to and my grandson's music..............
We had Elvis and the Beatles, Pep,Archie Moore SRR, golden days. I just wish I could remember them

Zeppelin rocks, I also have every album the Beatles put out and a fair bit of Elvis. My musical tastes are esoteric and highly varied.....I listen to "Classical", 1940s Big Band Swing, Classic Rock, Art Rock (think Pink Floyd), Progressive Rock, Classic Metal, and for a "modern" touch I listen to Goth Rock: Very much a "current" genre

I agree, Roy is way too skilled for old Fitz. Althought, Bob would be in there until the end and despite being beaten in a points sense comfortably, you've always got to fear his power if you are Roy.
