Y'know, if you got an immortal monkey to typewrite letters to Zine randomly forever, it would eventually produce this exact letter: HELP ME RSPCA THEY'VE GOT ME TYPEWRITING RANDOM LETTERS FOREVER.

Jetstream by New Order has bad lyrics. The song has a dodgy air travel theme and has such gems as "Leave your baggage behind/ You won't need it tonight/ Enjoy your flight" and the chorus "J-e-t/ You are so good for me/ You are my jetsream lover/ You're how I wanna be."

How Ana Matronic from Scissor Sisters allowerd herself to be involved in such monstrous by duetting on it is a mystery. Pat Palloon

In a time of war... in a time of great danger... in a time of unending pain... There is only one man... One man who can end it all... And that man is vanessa feltz.

Jimi Hendrix was a legend, but he did tend to disappear up his own backside a bit. Most disappointing gig? Bad Company in 1978. Al Bundy

Unfashionable views? michael jackson's '90s albums are better than his '80s work. dangerous is a great pop album, with songs like who is it and give into me much better than anything from thriller. history is painfully autobiographical in places. Matt Dodwell

Best producer is Mike Clink, whose work on g'n'r's appetite for destruction is flawless. It's still fresh after 21 years. Tony Vegas

I'm surprised Lawrie voted for Jim Abiss as his favourite producer. The Music are an incredible live band, and they'd have been more successful if Abiss had harnessed their debut album into capturing those gigs' enegy. His Arctics work is pedestrian compared to their gigs. Goranoia

The only Kylie album I own is Hits from her post-SAW period, with songs like Put Yourself and Confide In Me. Then came Indie Kylie, which got a lot of flak, but her more mature style then is more interesting than anything she's released since 2000. Shane Damien

It's interesting to see Bauhaus reformed to release one album before splitting up again. Maybe they found out that reforming was so enjoyable that, after splitting up again, they will reform again.

Alternatively, if the reunion was so traumatic, they may need counselling, necessitating a reunion to pay the bills. After Planet Sound give the album 8/10, maybe they'd be persauded to reform anyway. Richard Penguin

I'd like to thank Trident chewing gum for reminding me of how exciting The Crimea are. It's been an age since I last heard Loop A Loop or listened to the Secrets of The Witching Hour album.

The fact that I was able to listen to this song, and the entire album, free from their website, long before Radiohead gave us the chance to name our price on In Rainbows, is testament to the greatness of a relatively obscure band. Paulio

Radiohead think that, by trying to be weird, they can fool people into thinking there's something deeper going on. It's to cover up the fact they wouldn't know how to write a catchy melody if they depended on it.

Music is the most important thing. But all the great bands of the last 50 years recognised the importance of image: from the clothes to the album covers. The best bands have great songs and look great. The Cybermod

I understand Pinsent's annoyance that Paul McCartney sang live when he closed the Brits. He should be ashamed of himself, not miming like The Spice Girls. To get an Outstanding Contribution after only 45 years in music was unfair next to Spice's long wait.

Headlines reached No 90 in the US chart and the Best Of made 93. A monumental achievement but, as Pinsent doesn't like to brag about Spice, I expect it's why he didn't mention it. DF Fogle

Some (not all) of Jimi Hendrix's performances were not in tune. Try his Woodstock rendition of The star Spangled Banner. If you think that's in tune, you're tone deaf. I'm a musician, and many others I know also don't rate him. Nick Sloyan

My curtain closer for a five-minute warning would be REM's It's The End of The World As We Know It (And I Feel Fine). All together now: "Leonard Bernstein!" Gazzoir

Ghe: a clarification

I have this embarrassing problem. It started when I saw Chris Kamara on the telly and announced to the world that he looked like Guy Ritchie, the really creepy guy who stalked blind girls and sang at them. Of course, I didn't mean Madonna's (exish) husband, but who cares? They both suck.

Image is irrelevant. When you listen to an album, you don't see what a band looks like. The music, the lyrics, the atmosphere, technical musicianship and the atmosphere they invoke are more important. Only the shallow will ever listen to a band based on their image. Ronnie Bradley

Nick slates Jimi Hendrix's Woodstock performance for being out of tune. If being in tune was the point of rock & roll, he'd have a valid point. But, since it isn't, he doesn't. Also, the best intro is on The Intro And The Outro by Bonzo Dog. Coincidentally, the best outro is also on The Intro And The Outro. dj gordy

Best intro? Kathaarian by Darkthrone. A haunting atmosphere, and it sounds like someone being sick. John R

The whole package with music counts. You can't separate image, style, looks, attitude, music, lyrics and production.

As a musician himself, Nick believes his opinions on Jimi Hendrix being out of tune are more credible. Yet Miles Davis, Jaco Pastorius and Gil Evans expressed admiration for Jimi.

Like Vince, I'm saddened that ozzy osbourne, having helped created a new genre of music with Black Sabbath's metal, has ended up performing as the village in his egomaniac wife's travelling freakshow.

Some people, ozzy included, claim sharon saved his career. I think she just diluted his brilliance into making pathetic soft rock for the US masses. His post-Sabbath output is, to say the least, cringeworthy. Kev O'Neill

RIP, Jeff Healey. What a sad loss of a wonderful talent. On the two occasions I caught him live in Sheffield, he was on blistering form, though he could play the sweet stuff too. Craig Wells

Jeff Healey was a wonderful guitarist and a charming, unassuming man, who I had the pleasure of meeting after a gig at Manchester Apollo in 1990. He will be missed. Johnny Whitesox
