This sounds VERY typical of the house tracks of 93/94 and I'm just about old enough to remember them the first time around! Hearing this and realising its chart potential is both brilliant and bizarre at the same time. Also so great to see proper decent british dance music breaking the charts.

I've never liked the Mercury Prize. Get 10 radically different albums and pick the best...WHAT??? P.S. Disclosure to win!

Well the flights and hotel are booked however we have decided again next year to watch the Friday night show and see the live final in Copenhagen square on the night - the atmosphere was truly unbelievable! And the tickets on Friday night will be a fraction of the price...

I don't care as long as Lynda Woodruff returns!

I was there... I think I slipped out the get a drink! The song is loud and in your face.... but IMO, it's brash and odious. Aside from "Light Years" itself, the entire Light Years album is mostly woeful.

It's no great shakes IMO, not a bad song, but sounds waaay too much like the sort of song Cher would've released at the time. :puke2:

It's a bloody shocking song, how you can defend it is beyond me! Robbie Williams has a go at songwriting... forget it Robbie.. FORGET IT!!! Defo got a zero from me.

0.0 | Spinning Around 5.0 | On A Night Like This -01 | Kids (with Robbie Williams) (never mind a point, I wouldn't piss on that twat if he was on fire! - the worse song of her entire career!) 1.0 | Please Stay (yes it's fair to say in my humble opinion, the "Light Years" era is her worse by a long chalk! Luckily things improved...eventually!) 0.0 | Your Disco Needs You 3.0 | Can't Get You Out of My Head 7.5 | In Your Eyes 7.0 | Love At First Sight 6.5 | Come into My World 8.0 | Slow 5.0 | Red Blooded Woman 5.5 | Chocolate 7.5 | I Believe in You 6.5 | Giving You Up 6.0 | 2 Hearts 7.0 | Wow 9.5 | In My Arms 2.5 | All I See 9.5 | The One 2.0 | Lhuna (with Coldplay) 2.5 | Higher (Taio Cruz feat. Kylie Minogue) 10 | All the Lovers 8.0 | Get Outta My Way 4.5 | Better Than Today 5.0 | Put Your Hands Up (If You Feel Love) 6.0 | Timebomb 3.5 | Flower Well it's blantantly obvious I much prefer the first chapter of Kylies era. Surprised myself how little I rate above average.

2.0 | Locomotion 6.0 | I Should Be So Lucky 5.5 | Got to Be Certain 5.0 | Je Ne Sais Pas Pourquoi 5.5 | It's No Secret 8.5 | Turn It Into Love 10 | Hand on Your Heart 8.0 | Wouldn't Change a Thing 10 | Never Too Late 5.0 | Especially For You (with Jason Donovan) 1.0 | Tears on My Pillow 11 | Better the Devil You Know 8.5 | Step Back in Time 10 | What Do I Have to Do 9.5 | Shocked 6.5 | Word Is Out 3.0 | If You Were With Me Now (with Keith Washington) 3.5 | Give Me Just A Little More Time 7.5 | Finer Feelings 6.5 | What Kind of Fool (Heard All That Before) -1 | Celebration 10 | Confide in Me 7.5 | Put Yourself in My Place 8.5 | Where Is the Feeling? 6.0 | Some Kind of Bliss 8.0 | Did It Again 7.5 | Breathe 6.0 | Cowboy Style 6.0 | Keep on Pumpin' It (Visionmasters and Tony King feat.

Totally agree with all of this. I wish 2008 could somehow be erased from my memory!

we had a right laugh with her outside Malmo arena and it was being filmed... tried youtubing it but sadly to no avail.

2008 remains, for me, the worse year for chart music. Dance music was virtually non existent and instead was favoured for, well, Nickleback and random bits of shit. "Pjanoo" is my favourite track of 2008 but there is probably about 20 tracks I like more than this in, say, 1991 which for me reinforces what a stinker of a year this was!

I think they're being generous. Sorry, I really really really hate Nickleback!

In my nearing 30 years of life on Earth, I can safely say this is the worse song ever created. I literally cannot listen to this piece of odious, obnoxious piece of shit if you paid me. What doesn't help is Chad (he had to be have a typically sounding North American name) looks like a poodle and Nickleback have offended me previously with a song almost equally as horrific - "How You Remind Me". I'll shut up now...

By some distance my favourite single of 2007. FLG had a knack of making such addictive sounding tracks BUT I do agree that the dance music of this half of the decade does not even touch the dance music of the 1990s. That aside, I either don't remember or dislike nearly all of the other number 2 hits. This was the year I stopped following the charts COMPLETELY and, if I remember rightly, 2008 was even worse and literally didn't listen to anything that was current. The tables have turned somewhat lately, thank GOD!

I reserved a (rather primitive) hotel in Copenhagen, I had to act so bloody fast I didn't even have time to have a quick check on tripadvisor! Anyway if it's not in Copenhagen I'm defo not going and cancelling right away!!

"Voices" is under-whelming initially, but it's an absolute grower. I keep going back to this one, bloody love it!

Not youtube, but I have this http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p01b0myw They don't add anything new to the track really (it's very much like a Disclosure remix so of course it's great) but it's always so nice to hear Sam Smiths knock-out vocals!

I was lucky enough to see them at Parklife Festival last weekend. I say see them... the tent (this was clearly arranged MONTHS ago!) was BURSTING to the point health and safety was out of the window! I was dancing on a barrier when they did "Boiling" which collapsed to the floor. It was worth the odd cut and bruise though, they are.. just.. amazing! Never loved a band so much since Basement Jaxx emerged on the scene back in the 90s! Jessie came on near the end and did her 2 tracks!!

I think it's COMPLETELY underwhelming! It just slips in one ear and out the other, almost absent of any real hook and song. Such a shame, her first album was ace!

"Grab Her" is considered the weaker track on the album, but I love it. Totally throw-away but it makes me chair dance every time! By the way anyone hear them on Radio 1 with Sam Smith covering Duke Dumont? Bloody brilliant!

C'mon Disclosure!!!

When A Fire Starts To Burn is the next single, I believe. By no means the strongest track (that of course belongs to the bloody brilliant "Confess To Me" with Jessie Ware), but I hope they do the right thing and give it a proper release with gorgeous video etc etc.

Absolutely adore "Manchild" and of course "Pjanoo" (the only house track of 2008 worth bothering with). I cannot bloody stand "Glorious" though. Like "Save Tonight", it's one of those yucky radio-friendly guitar pop songs that were always on local radio stations in the late 90s.
