    Took me a little while too - it does grow though, and it is worth the extra time spent with it IMO.
    That question was less stupid, though you asked it in a profoundly stupid way.

    Help me, Arthur Murphy, you're my only hope!

    Disagree.

    If that collection of songs was released by another band it would be hailed as a very good album.

    Some of the Noel tunes on this album are the best that Oasis have ever produced.

    disagree with your disagreement, if the album was released by any other random Brit indie band it wouldn't have even registered...its a horribly average record...

    Would go with Oasis, some of the best material they've written in a good while.

    Well, I'll have to register my disagreement with the fact that you disagree with my original disagreement, Sir!!!

    Within the paramaters of what Oasis have produced in their 15 year career - have to re-iterate there's some good stuff on there, certainly the first half of the record is quite strong.

    On that note, Doctor - I bid you good-day.

    The first 5 tracks are among the best they've recorded. Falling Down is an excellent song too but I wish they'd just leave the songwriting to Liam and Noel, the other songs are barely average.

    Just listening to Nitin Sawhney - London Undersound here, and I'd put it ahead of anything in that poll. Fantastic album. Should have waited until the end of the year!

    Have to agree on that. Over-rated album, much preferred Because of the Times. And radio saturation has killed it for me too. Razorlight 'Slipway Fires' is truly horrendous. Listened to it for the first time today. And the last time. Awful stuff. Kaiser Chiefs the same. How did they get in the countdown?

    Yeah - I was confident that KOL would follow up with an even better album than Because of the Times. I was wrong.

    I listened to it once and in a fit of pique banished it back to HMV immediately with receipt in hand.

    Got the Verve's "Forth" - which I think is great.

    And because Q is like a Coldplay fanzine at the best of times, so that sort of tat would be right up their street.

    i am usually years behind in movies and music, etc as I am always trying to catch up with stuff that i missed the first time around! I am currently listening to the Billboard top 100 from the 50's to 2000 - so you can imagine I have enough on my plate as it is!!!!
    But albums i did download this year were....
    Santogold
    Paul McCartney's new one - I liked it anyway despite the critics
    Goldfrapp
    and Signur Ros - which is different - and quite sad really!

    CSI: Ambleside by Half Man Half Biscuit is the only album I bought in 2008 ...and that's 2008s fault ...not mine.
