Chris.

Completely agree about Passive Me Aggressive You, brilliant album.

35. Carl Barat - "Carl Barat" http://www.revolver-club.de/musik/plattenkritiken/2010/cover/carl-barat-carl-barat.jpg genre: indie rock Highlight track: 'Run With The Boys' A big improvement on the last Dirty Pretty Things album, but after a triumphant performance from the Libertines at Reading this year it's clear he has more potenial when working with Pete Doherty. 34. &U&I - "Kill the Man That Shot That Man" http://www.rocksound.tv/images/uploads/andyouandi300.jpg genre: post-hardcore Highlight track: 'Don't Die' This is f***ing awesome, I accept no other opinion on this. 33. Anamanaguchi - "Scott Pilgrim the World: The Game Soundtrack" http://www.filez.st/screenshots/98/4122494198Anamanaguchi_Scott_Pilgrim_vs_the_World_The_Game_2010.jpg genre: chiptune/8bit Highlight track: 'Toronto Map' This is the best 8-bit I have ever heard, f***, best game soundtrack ever, so so good, and so so fitting to the game. 32. The Xcerts - "Scatterbrain" http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_P9zvkyKDzi8/TK3dLbSi8uI/AAAAAAAAABE/Xiq8qguz0hQ/s1600/Xcerts.jpg genre: alternative rock/powerpop Highlight track: A great return from a mega underrated band, it also happens I met them on Friday night, and they are all super nice guys, so listen to their music. yeah. 31. Matt Skiba - "Demos" http://hangout.altsounds.com/geek/gars/images/1/7/6/3/9/rsz_skiba_demos_1.jpg genre: indie/punk Highlight track: Matt Skiba is one of my favourite song writers, this is an album of tracks he has done solo and recorded to his computer, there are some real gems.

New Jane's Addiction and Anthrax also due next year.

Linkin Park I have always wanted to see, and although the new album sucks, i'm sure they still put on an amazing show. SOAD are amazing, end. Rob Zombie, what you said. A7X do UK shows and festivals all the time, no big deal.

yeah 'All Killer No Filler' was my first album that wasn't by The Cartoons or 5ive, infact i constantly listened to it for months.

CMX2lPum_pg seriously, i would have never got into punk if it wasn't for this song, i may think now "ugh sum 41", where as really I should be thanking them for getting me into punk.

I already have tickets to Glastonbury and Reading.

actually the completely plagurised the idea, this campaign was getting lots of press, then some arse came on the news claiming his original idea for a British Legion single, original idea my arse, i'm all for giving money to the RBL but credit when credit's due. oh and i love how many people miss the point of this in this thread. get a sense of humour and stop taking the charts so f***ing seriously.

it wouldnt need to be forced if they got their writing together for the whole series, because unless it happens, Carl's character is pointless. the season had a really strong start and a really strong finish, but in the end, it wasnt The Walking Dead, they might aswell have called it something else, all they have used is the fact Rick was in a coma and went to Atlanta and found his family, the characters are not the same apart from the names, they might aswell just created a new gory zombie series and hyped it up just as much as the majority of the audience havent read the comics.

http://www.downloadfestival.co.uk/_Resources/img/holding/line-up-12-10.jpg f*** that's ace. could i afford a 3rd festival next year? hmm.

So, the finale... Despite being the least like the comics by far (as in the whole CDC thing doesnt happen at all in the comics), this was easily the best episode of the season, but i'm still pissed off that Hopefully next season shall be an improvement.

OOOOOOOOO. I hope they keep the greatness of 'Death Magnetic', what a comeback.

40. Autolux - "Transit Transit" http://iheartau.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/07/AUTOLUX_TRANSIT-TRANSIT_ALBUM-COVER.jpg genre: alternative rock Highlight track: I checked out this album on reccomendation from Trent Reznor, it's good $h!t. 39. Tyrannosaurus Alan - Campaign http://punkrockoi.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/18.jpg genre: ska punk Highlight track: This is one of the best ska punk releases this year, and the most underated for sure, rap style vocals with a great horn section. 38. HEALTH - DISCO2 http://www.israbox.com/uploads/posts/2010-06/1276060058_300.jpg genre: noise rock Highlight track: A great album of remixes, lead by the wonderful 'USA Boys'. Some of the remixes are fantasic on this album, my favourite being 'Before Tigers' (Blindoldfreak rmx). 37. Weezer - Death to False Metal http://popstache.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/11/weezer-Death-to-False-Metal-album-artwork-300x300.jpg genre: alternative rock Highlight track: 'The Odd Couple' I really enjoyed this, and it was cool to hear the couple of tracks from Pinkerton times. 36. Elvis Costello - National Ransom http://thehurstreview.files.wordpress.com/2010/10/national-ransom.jpg genre: alternative country Highlight track: 'National Ransom' I felt this was an improvement on some of his material from recent years, but it still failed to grab me to take me back for more listens.

The Automatic got better since 2007 when Paul Mullen from Yourcodenameis:milo joined them, W.A.S' album isnt worth bothering with tbh, their last album was alright though (but still not a patch on WLAS).

45. Jimmy Eat World - "Invented" http://berglovespizza.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Jimmy-Eat-World-Invented-cover-300x300.jpg genre: alternative rock highlight track: This band appears to get worse with every album, shame really, it's not bad but it's nothing special at all. 44. And So I Watch You From Afar - "The Letters" EP http://img.noiset.com/images/album/and-so-i-watch-you-from-afar-the-letters-ep-cover-art-64130.jpeg genre: post-rock highlight track: 'S is For Salamander' I've given this EP a fair few listens since the start of this year, such a powerful use of guitars. 43. Gallops - "Gallops" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51SbPMK0hnL._SL500_AA300_.jpg genre: post-rock/electronic highlight track: 'Miami Spider' Discovered this band at Reading Festival this year, was really impressed so checked out the EP, and love it. 42. Bomb The Music Industry! - "Adults!!!: Smart!!! $h!thammered!!! And Excited by Nothing!!!!!!!" http://static.rateyourmusic.com/album_images/a3c96b719f6e9d9e8c365f7200373b4b/2743535.jpg genre: ska punk/punk rock highlight track: 'You Still Believe In Me?' I feel like I should have listened to this more as it's pretty great, not quite as good as BTMI!'s 2009 release 'Scrambles'. 41. The Automatic - Tear the Signs Down http://www.rocksound.tv/images/uploads/auto300.jpg genre: post-punk revival highlight track: I was a bit underwhelmed by this release really, after their last album being great after they added Paul Mullen to the band, and the pre-release track from this album ('Something Else') being one of the best tracks they have done, it was a shame the album really didn't capture me much, although it was cool to hear Paul Mullen doing lead vocals for a lot of the tracks on this album.

50. Meat Beat Manifesto - "Answers Come In Dreams" http://www.fixtstore.com/img/graphics/IndieStore/MeatBeatManifesto_AnswersComeInDreams%202.jpg genre: electronic highlight track: To be fair this should be much higher, as it's pretty incredible, but I just haven't listened to it enough. 49. Fake Problems - "Real Ghosts Caught On Tape" http://www.soundstagedirect.com/media/fake_problems_real_ghosts_caught_on_tape.jpg genre: indie rock/beach punk/folk highlight track: 'White Lies' Another one that could be higher if I listened to it more, this was an improvement on their last album but still didn't quite catch the greatness of their first album. 48. The Soft Pack - "The Soft Pack" http://img.noiset.com/images/album/the-soft-pack-extinction-cd-cover-61341.jpeg genre: indie rock highlight track: This album gives me hope that new guitar indie bands can be good, infact this is a great album i'm thinking i should have ranked it higher. 47. Pin Me Down - "Pin Me Down" http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/312lKqpqT1L._SL500_AA300_.jpg genre: indie/alternative dance highlight track: This album is a bit of a wasted potenial, I like the vibe but in the end most tracks sound too similar to make it a great album. 46. We Are Scientists - "Barbara" http://www.thisisfakediy.co.uk/images/uploads//barbara300.jpg genre: indie highlight track: 'Rules Don't Stop' This was dissapointing, as a big fan of their former albums this was a massive new low for the band, i can only hope they will improve with the next album.

Blink hope it to be done by April/May. my top for next year: How To Destroy Angels blink-182 Streetlight Manifesto Alkaline Trio (acoustic album) Queens of the Stone Age

we got top 20 in the af league table, but they still plan to shut us down.

For the probaly very few people who care what albums i rate highly this year. This shall start sometime in the next few hours, for now some few statz: 4 SOUNDTRACKS 5 EP'S 10 DEBUT'S 1 ALBUM OF COVER'S 1 REMIX ALBUM and the album's i listened to this year that didnt make the list, some deserve top 50 but didnt quite make, some deserve top 50 but i hadnt listened to it enough for me to place it, some just werent that great an album: Ef - Mourning Golden Morning Everybody Was In The French Resistance... Now! - Fixing The Charts, Volume 1 Filter - The Trouble With Angels Field Music - Measure Flobots - Survival Story Hadouken! - For The Masses Hot Hot Heat - Future Breeds Jimi Hendrix - Valleys of Neptune Linkin Park - A Thousand Suns Los Campesinos! - Romance Is Boring Lower Than Atlantis - Far Q New Politics - New Politics Ou Est le Swimming Pool - The Golden Year Paul Wall -Heart of a Champion Robb Blake - Aint Got No Soul Sky Architects - Excavations of the Mind Street Sweeper Social Club - Ghetto Blaster EP We Are The Union - Great Leaps Forward

what Rock/Punk/Metal releases next year are people looking forward to?

i heard this today and it made me want to stick my head in the oven. f***ing terrible.

in my case, it was the topic title (not subtitle), and it wasnt an inappropiate topic title (if anything it was more appropiate), for a bit it was a bit of lol us going back and forth, but in the end he just straight out deleted my post which is a bit out of order is it not, if you started a topic in the gaming forum and we were disagreeing over the title, and you didnt have admin powers, and i deleted your post to prevent you from changing the title, how would you feel about that? i took the appropiate action of PMing a member of management only to get a "we have already spoken to him about this before", and then as always, he got his way, so yeah, i'll never bother making a topic in the lounge again if that's the way i'm treated, i know a much nicer lounge forum where people are encouraged to post rather than have their posts being deleted, but of course if you don't see that it's an issue when people are put off posting due to the actions of a mod, then i guess that is the sort of place Buzzjack is.

yes. apparently he has been spoken to multiple times about changing topic titles, he still seems to though.

yes but Coldplay clearly don't.

think yourself lucky, one of my threads he changed the whole title and when i kept changing it back he deleted my inital post so i couldnt change it back. right behaviour for a mod? not really.
