Just scrolling through these and 'Talk' is an underrated Coldplay song for me so good to see that high up here. 'Enjoy The Silence' is great too. My mate plays that song to me quite often along with 'Sun Always Shines On Me'. Two good oldies. 'Wisemen' is a good pick for top Blunt song. I'd put it in my top 5 actually along with 'Goodbye My Lover', '1973'. 'Bonfire Heart' and 'Carry You Home'. The latter being my favorite from him, was a #1 for me in 2008!

Thanks Roba :) Yes I agree Talk is a goodie for Coldplay, and Enjoy The Silence was a great chart-topper for me in 1990. a-ha's Sun Always Shines is a masterpiece, and james Blunt's Wiseman is a goodie amongst many, he's quite under-rated thanks to that big ballad he had :lol:

 

Cheers! B-)

While not being a fan of Jess in recent memory DBSHOY as basic as it is is still one of my favourites by her and 'Baby I Love You' is a underrated J Lo song too imo.

Thanks Rob :) I think the top 2 Jess' are the most memorable long-term hits along with rather be and these days, her best shot at being popular in 20 or 30 years time when nostalgia sets in. I'd forgotten that J Lo song but she's got loads of hits that'll keep her profile high. I watch local Canaries TV live on Youtube (cos I holiday there so often) and J-Lo and Ben Affleck have been seen in Las Palmas the capitol of Gran Canaria on holiday. Doh! If only I'd bumped into them I could have discussed Ain't It funny being my fave track and Batman ben's best role, like the geeky fanboy I have always been :lol:

Ooops This Is The Last Time at 19, Bedshaped 21 and Everybody's Changing at 13 :o

Not heard that top Keane one but 'Everybody's Changing' & 'This Is The Last Time' are my faves. Also a fan of 'Is It Any Wonder' & 'Somewhere Only We Know'!

never heard that #1 from Keane either... my top 3 from them would be:

1 Somewhere only we know

2 Bend and Break

3 Crystal Ball

I think I changed my mind about Keane as they went on - the early classic album and singles were a bit too MOR for me to love them, but Ive come to appreciate them more in later years after they got quirkier and showed they had legs. The public weren't quite so keen on the later stuff as me, Disconnected is pure bliss but it just passed the charts by as they became an albums act and the hits dried up, sadly. :)

Disconnected spoke to me at the time and I love the melody, well worth checking out. SOWK hit my number one years after it's debut, I think it was featured in an episode of Glee which made me re-evaluate it, and Lily Allen's cover helped make me go back to the original and love it's soaring passion :)

no love for Bend and Break? for me that's one of their best songs and a travesty it wasn't properly pushed as a single from album uno
