'Waves' was an old top 30 hit by Blancmange. They did it far more justice.

yes, because it's CLEARLY worse and less of a classic than Sound of the Underground....err. Not. :rolleyes:

http://i293.photobucket.com/albums/mm76/blissfulignorance_2008/arcadefire.jpg well done last week, Jark... gorgeous cover.....

Oh I don't think Tanya's gorgeous at all, no way. Greg and Tanya? Naaa.... umm.. perhaps she's got a nice personality? I don't remember her being that round-faced when she first appeared, either. Greg, however.... :wub: I just hope they keep him in the show - what with Ryan disappearing, EE desperately needs some male totty.

Black Eyed Peas of course - TERRIBLE.

It wasn't me who mentioned Give Me Everything, or about LMFAO.... however, yes, it was me who said The Time was one of the worst samples and singles in recent years - something I stand by now more than ever - because it IS a truly terrible record. Black Eyed Peas are laughable enough, anyway (and I've seen them live - even worse)... but to sample something from Dirty Dancing is not only desperate, cheap, nasty and obvious.... it's also downright naff naff naff. Something BEP seem to be quite often (My Humps is my 3rd worst single of the past 10 years.. and let's be honest - that song is clearly indefensible). Derulo has released a string of crap singles - none of them as awful as the Banan Boat Song-sampling new one. Just because it's been out 2 weeks, months or years - it's a record that Radio 1 are playing to death..... I've heard it quite enough thank you - quite enough to be able to state, without a doubt, it's my least favourite single to hit number one in 10 years - I follow the charts, always have done, so I think I'm qualified to state this, whether it be now or at the end of the year. The record stinks like a tramps gusset in a heatwave.

Black Eyed Peas - easily the worst song on that list. With Girls Aloud and Evanescense next.

The whole Max/Tanya/Greg storyline is plain daft.... after divorcing Max and finding someone as waaaaay out of her league as Greg - do we honestly believe she'd give shortarse ginger baldyman Max houseroom ever again? I mean, come on..... :rolleyes:

I'm surprised they've axed Ella - she's brilliant..... superb acting and Emmerdale does uber-cows MUCH better than any other soap. Plus there's loads more life in the her-Declan-Adam storyline. I'd love to have seen her fall pregnant. The new credit sequence - it reminds me of a furniture advert, still not keen at all. The character that seriously needs to go is Jimmy - he's been atrocious throughout his whole memory loss storyline - he reminds me of a wooden am-dram performer.... when he's in scenes with competent actors (ie - every one), it shows up his lack of skills to a toe-curling degree. Also, I'd like to see more of a backlash against the vicar for his refusal to do Jackson's service - they can't let him get away with it. Pauline Quirke has been truly fantastic these past few weeks. She's always been a brilliant straight actress (anyone remember The Sculptress?), but she's outdone herself as Hazel these past few weeks. And Danny Miller..... oh Danny Miller.... :heart:

Who's That Girl - terrible video, awful image, abysmal film - and just not a very good song.

err..so you're defending the Derulo single then? You truly think sampling the Banana Boat Song is a good, acceptable idea? I stand by what I say - Jason Derulo is the WORST number one of the past few years. Possibly more.... please give me an example of a worse one (Westlife excluded, obviously).

Surely one of the worst number one singles of the past 10 years - the Derulo song is truly, absolutely, unutterably Godawful.

Agreed - it's one of the few film score albums you can actually sit down and listen to without it sounding...incidental. There are a few soundtracks that didn't work at all well, too, that need mentioning here. The one that stands up for me is The Matrix. Bar Rob Dougan's beautiful Clubbed To Death, the soundtrack is a turgid trawl through pretty sub-standard dated 'rawk' music.... Rammstein, Rage Against The Machine, Marilyn Manson... what should have been a hi-tech futuristic modern masterpiece is bogged down with a truly terrible, clumpy soundtrack - at odds with the whole look and feel of the film. Also, whilst, in my opinion, the last 2 Bond films have been the best ones ever - they've had two of the worst-ever theme tunes.

Gabriel Yared's stunning soundtrack for Betty Blue is pretty hard to beat.....

Not at all - the majority of Welsh people want complete independence. The problem is, we have a Welsh Assembly government that is only concerned with Welsh cities - all its money is ploughed into Cardiff, Swansea and Newport - the rest of Wales is left to rot. Welsh people have never forgiven the English for Margaret Thatcher, simple.

Just got back, voting now...

... I had a promo of the album last week..... and... it's brilliant. For anyone who loved Empire of the Sun or Oracular Spectacular-era MGMT, this is definitely for you - an album where every track sounds like a single. Alongwith PJ Harvey, my album of the year so far.

cheers both - a definite back to basics for me this week after the everything but the kitchen sink approach of last week's ;)

I loved The Cure up til Disintegration, too... after that..... not bothered at all. And whilst I love Pornography-era black as hell Cure, I think some of their poppier stuff is pure brilliance. In fact, my favourite Cure track is Let's Go To Bed, one of their poppiest ever. It's nigh-on a perfect pop song, that.
