So, saying you had the money and contacts and you had to assassinate ONE musician, who would it be and why? Up until recently I would have said J-Bo but he's a bit of a pathetic character nowadays (and doesn't really pose a threat) so I'm going to go for the lead singer from Scrumping For Goons. My reasons are thus:

1. I hate his face.
2. His music makes me physically sick (no other band has managed this).
3. The 3 Brit nominations are surely going to make him even more of an insufferable cunt than he obviously is.
4. I hate his singing voice.
5. He looks simple.
6. I hate his face.

If some sort of consensus can be reached then maybe the lucky person can be sent a black spot, like what the pirates used to do.
