"You don’t build a half century singing career entirely on shit songs. Just because you don’t have a taste for cliff songs doesn’t make them shit. I’m absolutely sure there are songs that you love that I would really not like, and vice versa." Jesus, calm down. It's a bit of laugh. Christ. Take a rain check. | |||

"I don't like any of em much but Mistletoe and Whine makes me physically cringe. Toe curling stuff, I mean "Chris-tee-un rhyme"... yack!" I would have said Devil Woman but I'd forgotten that gem, probably as a result of the trauma it can inflict on the accidental listener who it catches unaware | |||

"All of them He should be banned from existence Agreed! He had his day in the late 50's - 60's, he's way, way past his shelf life and now is a national embarrassment!" Not true, he carried his fifties/sixties teeny pop fan base with him through the generations... they are all OAP's now and still love him and his songs! Oh, except that song 'My Ding a Ling', they never liked that one... but forgave him for it! | |||

"Obviously he's completely shite so what's the worst one? Me? All of them." Are your songs and fame as appreciated by his fans as much? I guess not. He's not my cup of tea but he is others Oh, and I was introduced to him when I was much younger. | |||

"Obviously he's completely shite so what's the worst one? Me? All of them." Agreed! I've never liked him but he was clearly popular in his day 60 + years ago but now he's a completely pitiful shadow of his former persona. | |||

"… but now he's a completely pitiful shadow of his former persona…" He’s *85* and recovering from cancer. How odd he’s not a patch on his 1960s heyday. 🙄 What an utterly dumb comment. | |||

"Best - Devil Woman - dedicated to Maggie Thatcher Worst - Millenium Prayer - Woeful" No, Devil Woman came out in 1976, plus I think cliff quite liked Thatcher, sadly, otherwise, I agree that it's his best song, and Millennium Prayer the worst. | |||

"Obviously he's completely shite so what's the worst one? Me? All of them." He’s the biggest selling artist of all time, outsold The Beatles and Elvis, talking tangible copies of course not streaming, and this is because he started back in the 50s and carried on past the millennium, more recently bringing out songs at Christmas with strong christian values, just to get the sales of course 😉 | |||

There’s a reason no-one sits next to you at the Christmas party, isn’t there..? (And it’s not just because you don’t wear shoes, which you are always telling us.) | |||

"Carrie is great!" Yep ... I like the production from that time. Wired For Sound too ... Devil Woman/Miss You Nights ect (although I would never have admitted to enjoying them at the time of their release) Can't say that I've ever listened to a full Cliff album .... so no idea what his weakest work would be. | |||

Even estimating a 1:10^12 probability that I might have been visited by Blair at Christmas, Cliff was doing me a huge favour by enticing him elsewhere. Fair do's, then. And why did you substitute "Nazareen (sic) Creed" for "New Testament" in your adaptation of Bierce's excellent apothegm? | |||
