You ingore Tunes at your peril! As a friend of mine found out to his own cost in the Ducie in Levenshulme one night in '94.

Tunes' collaboration with Ian Brown of Barron Knights tribute act The Stoned Roses caused controversy in some quarters when TV Quick's Richard Arnold pronounced it "not strictly for the headstrong". But it proved a huge hit with fans, as it poll placing proves.

What do you think of when you think of Belgium? Poirrot, Tintin, Front 242 and MC Tunes smoking a Benson and Hedges down an alleyway.

IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
I have been contacted today by the Metropolitan Police who have informed me that several of the email accounts used to collate the MC Tunes poll may have been hacked by private investigators employed by a national newspaper. Given the circumstances I have decided to suspend the results thread until these allegations can be fully investigated. It has been suggested to me by the Met that many other ILM polls of the last 5 years may be seriously flawed as well and should not be taken seriously.
Sincere apologies
