Oh God, I'd forgotten they were even in this poll. Much as I liked Echo what a sorry, sorry state of affairs.

Not the best reflection on this site that Girls Cant Catch (and presumably Mini Viva too?) are higher than Lostprophets and MGMT. They dont even have an album :lol:
I was addicted to "Love It When You Call" when The Feeling first released it :P

Total Points 36points

Favourite Song - Stop and stare, hard one also love this band

 

OneRepublic is an American, self proclaimed "genreless" band from Colorado Springs, Colorado. Formed in 2002 by Ryan Tedder and Zach Filkins, the band achieved success on MySpace, becoming the most prominent un-signed act on the website. They signed onto Mosley Music Group in 2006, and released their debut album, Dreaming Out Loud in 2007.

 

OneRepublic achieved chart success with their first single, "Apologize". A remix of "Apologize" was featured on the Timbaland album, Shock Value. The remix version was a massive hit internationally, reaching number-one in sixteen countries and bringing OneRepublic international fame. The band also achieved national success with their second single, "Stop and Stare". Dreaming Out Loud was certified gold in the United States, Austria, Australia and Canada.

 

The band's second album, Waking Up, was released on November 17, 2009.The lead single from the album, "All the Right Moves" charted in the top ten in Ireland, New Zealand, Switzerland and in the top 20 on the Billboard Hot 100. Critical reception to both albums was mixed

 

The likes of Mini Viva and Girls Can't Catch, as Aled says, groups with no albums at all, being higher than Radiohead, one of the most listened to bands in the last decade is really quite frightening, though i'm not surprised :(.

 

Having said that i didn't vote, so i guess i can't complain (N)

Edited by Harve

I do like MGMT, but I dont think they deserved much higher though as they are still relatively new

 

a good set of bands- Lostprophets are great, although I didnt expect Buzzjack to like them much, The Feeling and OneRepublic are also good, albeit not great

 

even though these bands probably got the right finishing positions- I think its pretty embarassing that Mini Viva and Girls Cant Catch are higher than these bands who have been around far longer and are much better

 

The Fray's 'How To Save A Life' is absolutely brilliant, but apart from that, Im not a huge fan

Can't believe OneRepublic, Lost Prophets and The Feeling (mainly for their outstanding first album) are this low and below Girls Can't Catch and Mini Viva :drama:

It's not, it's the guy next to him, second from the right :P

 

Radiohead in the bottom ten - I didn't vote for them, but then I wouldn't have voted for GCC or Mini Viva either...

Mini Viva aren't here definitely. :P They weren't in the nominations. While GCC are yet to come...
