[Vange Shrimper]

Mine have to be:

7 Nation Army - White Stripes
I Believe In A Thing Called Love - Darkness
El Salvador - Athlete
Gay Bar - Electric Six

I can only think of 4 cos there has been some sh*te records out this year such as that Blu Cantrell and Beyonce songs with Sean Paul.

cr*p, cr*p and more cr*p.........

[Andy_S]

This is a little easier than the album choice:

1. Stone Sour - Bother

2. The Darkness - I Believe In A Thing Called Love

3. Linkin Park - Faint

4. Iggy Pop Feat Sum 41 - Little Know It All

5. Bowling For Soup - Punk Rock 101

I could go on as i really liked St Anger and Frantic by Metallica as well as Burn Burn by Lostprophets and Young And The Hopeless by Good Charlotte. There's loads of top songs that have come out this year that i've liked.

[Matt the Shrimp]

Well, here's my top 6 (perhaps my only 6) singles this year, in no particular order:

* The Darkness: I believe in a thing called love

* Evanesence: Going Under

* Linkin Park: Somewhere I Belong

* Blu Cantrell (feat. Sean Paul): Breathe *(sorry Hils, I rather like it)

* Junior Senior: Move Your Feet

* Justin Timberlake: Cry Me A River

Matt

[Vange Shrimper]

Is it just me, but are all the new songs that Blur have released this year have been, well how shall i put it? cr*p?

Not as good as much of there previous songs......shame really as they can do a lot better than the stuff they've released off there new album.

Bring back Gorillaz http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/laugh.gif

Some of them have been rather 'iffy' shall we say haven't they!?.

I've got their Greatest Hits album with all their old, more rock type songs. In fact the first ever single i bought was Country House by them. Top song that is!. http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/cool.gif Why they've gone and changed their style so much i really don't know.

its called moving on in life / having different experiences / getting older / experimentation.

You can't really expect them to keep churning out the novelty Britpop hits nearly 10 years later.

Just look at Oasis, no idea where they are going, just the same old pub-rock bollox......

[Westcliff Shrimper]

And the nominations from the WS jury are :

- Somewhere I Belong by Linkin Park

- Move Your Feet by Junior Senior

- Sunlight by DJ Sammy

- Loneliness by Tomcraft

- Field of Dreams by Flip 'n' Fill

- Land of the Living by Milk Inc

- Ultimate Wave by Mat Silver

- Sparks by Royksopp

I thank you ...

WS

[pboreham]

Linkin Park - 'Faint'

Darkness - 'I believe...'

Outkast - 'Hey Ya'

Pearl Jam - 'Love Boat Captain'

For all you Queens Of The Stone Age fans, check out "Desert Sessions", which is a side project featuring Josh Homme and PJ Harvey! Quality stuff - try and get 'Crawl Home' for an example

Was that a single? If so, good call Mike. I've always enjoyed listening to that one on the album.

[Bob Cratchitt]

I think some of Mike's selection maybe tracks off albums rather than actual released singles. Come on Mike play by the rules. Remember The Politburo will be after you!! http://www.shrimperzone.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/biggrin.gif

I got them from NME's site - it has the whole album up in high quality to listen too. Just need to register (takes 30 secs) and you are in...

Desert Sessions (http://www.nme.com/features/106308.htm)

Your probably right about QOTSA album... I remember listening to it around about the World Cup?? How time flies...

May I change QOTSA then to 'Yea Yea Yea's' - Date With The Night?!

Done. The quality isn't great ... for some reason ...

Finally found a copy on Kazaa but its taking ages as some of them do on there even with broadband!

Really?? Listening to it right now and the quality is excellent?!

Obviously you are clicking "Windows Media Player High Quality".

Anyway, typical of me being behind the times, apparantly Desert Session have been going years and Josh Homme gathers some musicians every year and drags them to a desert to record a record. This one is volumes 9 & 10...

Class!

Just bought the Athlete album. Will be a "grower" I think, or at least I hope; in that, on first play-through, an awful lot of the songs seemed to be a bit samey.

That said, the song called "Westlife" (?) in particular is a cracker; and "You Got the Style" is also very strong.

Westside is the name of the song and is quality but my personal favourite is 'You've got the style' and was used by Sky at the end of the Man Utd vs Arsenal 'battle' ...

[pboreham]

Janes Addicition = Just Because.

Though I like the new one, True Nature - the album is class as well

Strokes?

Strokers more like.

Unlike Top, Northside and the Hollow Men they will not be remembered in ten years time.

[BoyWonder2]

In no particular order:

1) REM - Bad Day
2) Athlete - El Salvador
3) Jet - Are You Gonna Be My Girl
4) The Strokes - 12:51

Mr. Junior Reid, perchance...? Does anyone else on SZ use the word "stroker" to such good effect?!

Coldplay 'Clocks' hasnt had a mention, a summer anthem in my eyes?

[SUFC_Spike]

In no particular order, my list would have to be:

Black Eyed Peas - Where Is The Love
Junior Senior - Move Your Feet
50 Cent - P.I.M.P.
Sugababes - Hole In The Head
Cold Play - Clocks(was it released this year?! I didnt know that!)
Evanesense - Going Under
Evenesense - Bring Me To Life
Evenesense - My Immortal (Is on the album and to be released as a single very soon!!!)

Thats all for now I think!
