I am surprised that we haven't had the latest effort from bloody Foster And Allen to torment us again yet. As you say, I think music like this fits squarely into the "what shall we buy grandma this year" category.
Albums strictly for the over-60s and every year we get more like this. Though, to be honest, I doubt even my own mother would enjoy this sort of crap and she is over 70!!”
There's one out now being flogged by Elaine Page with songs from musicals. No thanks! I'm 68 and the CD's on my Wish List are by One Republic, Olly Murs , Tom Chaplin and Imagine Dragons.
