I know that '500 Miles' song was for charity but you have to draw the line somewhere. The duet that Sugababes and Girls Aloud did at Comic Relief that year was better and I hated that.

X Factor was the bane of the 2000s. And Leon Jackson's winner's song has to be the most forgettable of the lot. And what is that sky backdrop in the music video all about? 😐

OK I'll let you have 'Welcome to the Black Parade' as number 1. 😄 It is a great song. I didn't pay much attention to it or the emo genre back then. However, on the grounds of nostalgia, I have a soft spot for it. Roll on 2007!

Yes! Gnarls Barkley! Would have put it at Number 1 personally but Number 2 is a good position. I loved it then and I still love it now. Moody, atmospheric and such a bop. There was nothing else that sounded like it at the time. I guess that's why the song caught my attention back in 2006.

It's interesting looking back on here at older posts of the KISS playlist. They were playing more new stuff. Now, it's like a cross between Hits Radio and KISSTORY. I've also noticed that from 2020-2023, there was more dance music playlisted. Why mess with a formula that works?

They used to play remixes. Not so much now.

Loved 'America' by Razorlight back in the day. Beautiful song. Takes me back to more innocent times.

It seems around this time there was a trend of sampling 70s and 80s songs and putting a house beat over the top of them.

It is a strange choice. Also, I'm sure I heard one of the presenters on KISS refer to the song as "new".

Agreed. 'So Sick' and 'Beautiful Monster' couldn't sound any more different and they were only released 4 years apart.

Looking forward to this. I was 13 years old in 2006 and was really into my music by then.
