Possibly of interest to soul/dance fans, although the video quality is crap.The only song I bought in the top 10 was Like A Prayer but I like Round Round, Alone, and up to a point Colourblind and Anyone Of Us. Half A Heart was ok, at least it was a change in sound compared to their other songs which could have easily been by Steps.The Hear'say single cover always made me laugh, the photographer probably asked them to look brooding but instead got 'pissed off'.

Friday at 20:172 days #8 was '5 Years Time' (and was a good one back then). Interesting moment for Noah And The Whale before their prime album era in 2011. Edited Friday at 20:192 days by AllStarBySmashMouth
Friday at 21:262 days Oh, '5 Years Time' is part of the Superman (2025 film) soundtrack. Such good timing!

It was definitely the highlight of 2008 and quite controversial at the time. Not that it bothered me.I didn't know The Verve made a comeback! 😯5 Years Time is a guilty pleasure of mine. It has that quaint, British, summery feel to it. Edited 15 hours ago15 hr by montyj
