[EFM's Librarian]

Good selection, but who are Cat Power? and rhythm bandits was terrible.

 

Got the Hot Hot Heat album a couple of weeks ago, and jolly good it was too.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Have a large number of them myself.

 

Your number 39 would be my number one, without a shadow.

 

Your number 11 would be my number two, and your number 3 would be my number three!!

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I can't really describe Cat Power, like Beth Orton but better, that track is available here on MP3

[JKiF]

just the one or two then...;-)

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Thornsy - I thought that Bluetones single was sh*t. The first one off the album - Fastboy - was alot better.

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I've got Fastboy as well, but prefere that (at least I did last night when I got all the records from 2003 in a pile to work out my Top 40)

[Stu B]

How the f*ck did good charlotte get in there?!My ex used to be obsessed with them!She had to go...!

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I quite like that track!

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Good Charlotte are surely in the same genre as Papa Roach, Sum 41 and Linkin Park.

 

 

[Stu B]

Don't like Papa roach,sum 41 are good in the same way as busted are good-to laugh at,and I do like Linkin Parks music,i don't like their fans though..

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

And Evanescence.

 

Absolute rubbish.

 

 

[SteveP]

7 Nation Army, Pass it On, Move Your Feet and Crazy Beat would be up there for me, but There There by Radiohead was the best track of last year, not sure if it was a single or not.

[YB941 5thD EFM ~soul~]

Yeah, I have There There on CD single.

 

Pass It On would get into my Top 5.

 

 

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I think it was a single but you know how much I hate radiohead. I am Kloot with 6ft tall (was that the single) was bubbling just under!

[SteveP]

Pass it On and 7 Nation Army were both very catchy, 7 Nation Army would edge it for me, 'spose this would be my top 5:

 

1 There There

2 7 Nation Army

3 Pass it on

4 Crazy Beat

joint 5th: Move Your Feet/ Golden Retriever - SFA

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Thought Golden Retriever wasn't quite to the SFA's usual standard!

[SteveP]

I found it pretty decent and anyway it's still a lot better than Good Charlotte!

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

I'm starting to regret that Good Charlotte selection, I think they are crap but they are allowed one good song. I only listened to it last night and thought that's not too bad!

[SteveP]

If my beloved Chesh had 1 bad game in 40 I wouldn't be too worried with that stat.

 

The SFA choice is because I have a soft spot for them and the B side was really good on the single. I suppose 2 wrongs don't make a right!

 

I reckon the Franz Ferdinand could be a grower this, but the radio edit of 'Take me Out' ignores the intros all the time, that's just plain wrong.
