Single of the (nearly) year

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Sugababes - Freak Like Me

Oasis - Stop Crying Your Heart Out

 

...off the top of my head

[R Zimmerman]

Coldplay - In My Place

Feeder - Come back around (although not yet released)

Idlewild - American English

The Vines - Get Free

Doves - There Goes The Fear

 

Agree with Oasis but Sugababes?

 

The Manics new single which I've heard but don't know the name of sounds quality.

 

Forgot it before, Red Hot Chili Peppers - By The Way

[Colin Zeal EFM]

Absolutely brilliant mate. I'm no fan of pop or soul or R&B or whatever you wanna call it, but there's no denying that's one hell of a tune.

[R Zimmerman]

It's still a cover version though.

I heard Gareth Gates and Will Youngs duet today, what a surprise, another cover.

[ESG]

Laylo & Bushwacka -Love Story

Tom Middleton- Cosmos

 

[Colin Zeal EFM]

There's two kinds of cover versions, Zimmerman.

 

1. The carbon copy cover, a la Will & Gareth, where it's damn near impossible to improve on the original, and basically it's a a pointless exercise.

 

2. Make it your own. As Joe Cocker did on "Help From My Friends", and as Jose Felici-wosisname did with "Light My Fire". This is the category that the Sugababes fall into.

[R Zimmerman]

I see the point, but still not worthy of that single of the year slot, and not just because it's a cover.

[SAINTS64MAD]

too bad by nickelback and what were all about by sum 41

[SAINTS64MAD]

Also the one by foo fighters

[R Zimmerman]

I'll ignore some of those

[SAINTS64MAD]

all of them are awsome! foo fighters the one is great!

[R Zimmerman]

Nickleback, well always going to have trouble following up "How you remind me" as it was such a big hit, "Too bad" is the only other song on the album worthy of a single. Sum 41, the less said the better, and Foo Fighters, yeah, agree good song, not single of the year, and not up to the standard of their older stuff, and they were, not awful, but not fantastic at Reading.

[SAINTS64MAD]

thanks but i really hate how u remind me.

[EFM The Firm, The Voice]

Bubblegum - Jims Super Stereoworld

Emergency Medical Hollagram - Abdoujaparov

Envy - ash

Weak Become Hereos - Streets (and the soon to be released Don't Mug Yourself - No smart comments from anyone please)

Fell in love with a girl - White stripes

Round Round - Sugababes

You held the world in your arms - Idlewild

Bohemian like you - Dandy Warhols

 

[R Zimmerman]

White Stripes, definatly. White Blood Cells is a top album.

[SAINTS64MAD]

bohemian like you is a good song. what about weezers just a little respect?

[R Zimmerman]

I thought that was Wheatus, and they are awful

[SAINTS64MAD]

it is. soz. that song is good. its exacly the same sort of music

[R Zimmerman]

and yet another cover

[SAINTS64MAD]

oh well. have u heard metallica's whiskey in the jar? thats a cover but the video is extremely good.due to naked women doing all sorts!
