  1. There were some cracking albums on the list - but I don't think a single one of them ploughed the emotional depths of Let England Shake - lyrically and musically, it's miles ahead of the pack. One of those albums where, each time you play it, you hear something new, some instrument, some little nuance, that ignites your love of the song all over again. I must admit, I've never been a fan of Polly, but Let England Shake is a career defining album. And one that, really, everybody should own.
  2. absolutely utterly not..... English Riviera is an absolute masterpiece, start to finish, as was their last album....and The Bay remains one of the greatest slices of pop music we've seen in 2011.

    A really, really terrible, boring, simple show...... and let's be honest, all this pile of tosh is is yet another vehicle to trot out Cowell's very own special blend of bland muzak.... the abysmal Il Divo tonight, with JLS and One Direction to follow this week... dull dull dull.
  4. Westlife and Miss Scary.... two of my absolute LEAST favourite acts singing a positively rancid cover version :puke2:
  5. because this is Buzzjack... musical la-la land, that's why. :lol: :lol: :lol: :rolleyes:
  6. 1. (best.... by a mile, let's be honest....) AMY WINEHOUSE - BACK TO BLACK 2 MADONNA - HUNG UP 3 KILLERS - SOMEBODY TOLD ME 4 GORILLAZ - FEEL GOOD INC. 5 OUTKAST - HAY YA! 6 GWEN STEFANI - WHAT YOU WAITING FOR? 7 KELIS - TRICK ME 8 TAKE THAT - RULE THE WORLD 9 BEYONCE - CRAZY IN LOVE 10 SUGABABES - FREAK LIKE ME 1 KILLERS - MR BRIGHTSIDE 12 KYLIE - CAN'T GET YOU.... 13 MARINA AND THE DIAMONDS - HOLLYWOOD 14 NELLY FURTADO - MANEATER 15 FRANZ FERDINAND - TAKE ME OUT 16 COLDPLAY - VIVA LA VIDA 17 LADY GAGA - BAD ROMANCE 18 ARCTIC MONKEYS - DANCEFLOOR 19 CHEMICAL BROTHERS - GALVANISE 20 TATU - ALL THE THINGS....
  7. 2001 must have been a sorry, sorry year to have these 3 names as the year's 'best'...... far from being a line-up of the year's finest, it looks more like what you'd find in any charity shop bargain CD single bin..... positively dreadful. Kylie is patently the best single here - it's kind of embarrassing and laughable that it's even being made to rub shoulders with excrement like Chronic Kittenm and SClub7.... :lol:

  9. ;) :P I'm not serious you know. Well...
  10. oh dear....
  11. I like the song a lot - it's an abysmal cover though (that font...eeeeek). The thing that strikes me about the new single is she's obviously dug out her Siouxsie and Kate Bush albums again...... it's rare for an artist to wear their influences so boldly - power to her..... I still think Lungs was disappointing though (apart from the singles.... hmm.... there was a load of filler in all honesty).
  12. ...by credible I meant 'good' - not only credible as in NME muso style.... I think it's hilarious that Gorillaz are getting so many votes when there's so much absolutre utter unadulterated shit left on that list. Like I said earlier, BJ is not known for its conoisseurs of music - but even BJ has outdone itself this time.... :rolleyes: :D We have one of the cheesiest and most awful dance records of all time (Ian van bloody Dahl) and the most rancid male performer of the past 10 years (Daniel Bedingfield)... each have? Yes... zero votes :rolleyes: :lol: There's even a bloody Atomic Kitten single left in here - that's how vomit-inducing this list has become. After Gorillaz goes this round, I'm out on this one... the songs that are left..... asking me to choose one over another is like asking me to choose between a bout of cholera or leprosy.
  13. STUNNED that people can openly admit that, out of that AWFUL list, they're choosing Gorillaz as the 'worst song' on this list - I know Buzzjackers are never known for their musical finesse - but Gorillaz?! It's the only credible song left in the whole sorry pile.
  14. I worry if you honestly believe Lady Marmalade is a worse single thanDaniel Bedingfield..... or Atomic Kitten. I always vote for the song - the artist is utterly irrelevant. If Aguilera was on this list with Bob The Builder and Zig and Zag..... the haters round here would still vote for it. Sad really.....

  16. It's a shame people wouldn't vote more on the quality of the actual song rather than which artsist they don't like any more..... OK, Christina's as popular as a fart in a spacesuit on BJ these days - but is Lady Marmalade REALLY a worse single than, say, Castles In The Sky, Pure and Simple, Whole Again, Samantha Mumba etc......? :rolleyes: Oh how fickle people are....

    Talking Heads a guilty favourite? Nahh.... I'm a very proud Talking Heads fan, me..... although I'm not too keen on And She Was or Road to Nowhere.
  21. I'm no Will Young fan, but let's be honest - his new single is nothing short of fabulous - and from what I've heard of the album it sounds like it's as good throughout.
  22. The dreadful Atomic Kitten - again.
  23. 1 (best) The Knife - Heartbeats 2 Kelis - Trick me 3 Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For? 4 Basement Jaxx - Good Luck 5 Dannii - You won't forget about me 6 Damien Rice - Cannonball 7 Kelis - Milkshake 8 Killers - Mr Brightside 9 Killers - All these things... 10 Outkast - Hey ya 11 Keane - Bedshaped 12 Sugababes - Too lost in you 13 Franz Ferdinand - Take Me Out 14 Kylie - Red-blooded woman 15 Keane - Somewhere only we know 16 Lemar - if there's any justice 17 Keane - Everybody's changing 18 Destinys Child - Lose my breeath 19 Britney - Toxic 20 Shapeshifters - Loa's Theme
  24. I'm shocked Roger Sanchez went, too - or maybe, considering some of the tastes around here (someone here actually believes Kylie is the wrst single on that list - as if), it's not such a surprise :( It's embarrassing enough to have ONE Chronic Kitten single in any 'best of' list - to have 2 is just mortifying. Buzzjack... come on :rolleyes:

    Great work, all..... and Jark - same back - you've made some stonking covers of late.... more often than not far better than the actual covers..... same for many of the others we see week after week - some of the record companies could take note from some of the designs we see here, and make more effort ;) It'd be great to really promote this game again when it's re-launched - maybe we could all have a link in our sigs taking people directly to the threads? Or a snazzy sig photo showing some of the lovely work entered? Or maybe even a block message sent to all members every week reminding them this thread exists?
