Alan McGee loves Frank

Someone - Scotland On Sunday doesn't record who - asked Alan McGee what his favourite record of all-time was.

He chose My Way. Frank Sinatra's reading of it:

"Hands down my favourite song is Sinatra's 'My Way'. What a song! Like it's narrator it's had a rough life but managed to survive – in this case, mistreatment from a multitude of hotel karaoke parties, X Factor contests and ageing lounge singers drunkenly entertaining middle-aged couples on their third honeymoon from the Catskills in New York state to Kathmandu.

"As Martin Scorsese demonstrated when he used Sid Vicious's rendition to roll over the credits of Goodfellas, 'My Way' is still the greatest rock'n'roll anthem to life ever written. But even Sid couldn't top Frank's definitive version."

It's nice that McGee doesn't feel the need to choose a song to show-off with, but at the same time, his choice is disappointingly obvious. Especially since he seemed a lot fonder of the Creation a few years back, didn't he? And weren't Oasis supposed to have been the greatest rock and roll band?
