Think its worth resurrecting this to add in Graham Coxon's 'Really Freekin' Out', also I don't think anyones mentioned 'Hey Ya' by Outcast.
Another additions a month on?

City Of Blinding Lights - U2

Absolutley -I'm proud to say I thought scissors sisters "Take your mama" was a Robbie Williams song -not just the first time i heard it either -for about 6 months -I'd tend to change station when i'd hear it so i never got to hear it introduced and as Robbie is a despicable shaved chimp I couldn't bare to listen to it. Similarily, I also thought Keanes "everything changes" was Radiohead moving back towards something more radio friendly.When you get to my age all the years just begin to blend into one
Sorry but I'd be sticking a big D- on the class of 04s copybook and telling them to stop cogging their big brothers homework.
Franz ferdinand -the ultimate XTC tribute -resplendentwith blancmange type gulpy vocals
Strokes/Hives/Jet -are actually all the same band working under several names to get extra pay
Damien Rice -y'know if we started taxing the use of the Em7 chord we could put a halt on his and his ilks gallop quite quickly. Seriously we've become far too indulgent of this kind of thing in this country and it's time to consider a cull.
Morrissey - You Are the Quarry was worth it for the two singles and 'Come Back to Camden' but there's some very ordinary stuff on there as well.
" I wish to God that someone would be able to block out the voices in my head for five minutes, the voices that scream, over and over again: "Why do they come to me to die?"
i'm kinda undecide on these guys. Sometimes i get it and others, nope.
Think you're way off the mark here. Strokes showed with their second album that they do have intelligent song writing ability and its not just tried and tested formulae they stick to. HIves I havent heard enough of really but wht i did i liked - not much more to add to that. Jet, on the other hand, are just another NME loved shower that wrote a few songs which happened to fit in style-wise with what record cos. were looking for this/last year. I'm still reeling from the loss of what I paid for that album.
At last! Fair play to you Lionel. I've been waiting for support on this for so long. It's not that's it's sh!te music per se but it doesnt take very long for it to lose it's freshness. It's typical really, a load of young ones who don't take their music too seriously at the best of times get together to buy Damo Rice, Mic Christopher, AN Other Self-indulgent Ortist CD's and go gigs and the whole thing escalates into a new movement. Sad thing is Nick Drake, David Gray and the like all came along way before these guys but they don't get the same credit (although admittedly D.G. did get a little nauseating on his second round in the charts).
Agree completely. But is Moz really class of '04?

Didn't bother with the second Strokes album as I thought the singles sounded pretty much like the first and that was badly overrated. I really am getting old as I've only got one album from this year - The Killers, which I think is a fine investment - as for the rest, I will probably get Franz Ferdinand and The Libertines second effort and thats about it.
Much of everything else seems average; Razorlight surely have the most annoying looking man in pop as their lead (I don't know why he annoys me so much) and had the cheek to rip off the start of Christine by The House of Love and still manage to produce a crap single. Kasabian? I already own Happy Monday's albums so there's no point in buying poor quality imitations. Jet - Mrs O' B wanted to know if Iggy Pop has thought about sueing yet for nicking his 'Lust for Life'. I don't actually mind The Hives although I think in five years time they'll be as well remembered as Moose or Menswear (who are they? exactly.)
And I don't think that this is getting old either, I mean you can tell that Jesus and Mary Chain are influnced by The Beach Boys and the Velvet Underground but they don't sound exactly like them, similarly My Bloody Valentine being influenced by JAMC. Many band today just try to produce something that sounds pretty much a replication of their influnces rather that taking these influnces and doing something with them. Rant over, oh and although the above many be incoherent ramblings its still a damn sight better put together than anything you will read in NME.

i saw franz ferdinand at oxygen and thought they were excellent, pity they weren't on at night time though.
the album's good, not great, sounds a bit samey in places though
Whatever it was I am sure it was better than my plan to get out of this by pretending to be mad. I mean, who would have noticed another madman around here?
Okay
