It made me want to cry.
Any band & song that I don't name shouldn't be in the top 40 this week.
Libertines - Can't Stand Me Now
Guilty - The Rasmus
Wow, this weeks top 40 sucks.
The week where Twisted X got to number 9 was brilliant...loads of decent bands in the top 40.
Franz are gunna steal top spot with Michael...you watch. ;c)

The Darkness are nothing special- it's just that there's no one really like them who is really popular nowadays. They're quite good, but seriously over-rated, whereas there are under-rated bands who are just as good, if not better than them who have emerged in the past few years, such as Blaze.

I'd rather have the Darkness in the charts than some R&B crap, same with Busted and McFly.
I believe in a thing... is a great cheese song so they get my praise for that (making many a night out great fun), and the rest of the album is just silly rock, but still good.

See, the man talks sense. It may be annoying but they're great live and again compare it to R&B, you've got something spectacular.
Oh, I've kidnapped Rakuga, I'm not him.

I'm in 2 states of mind about McFly, one state hates them, the other thinks that they're OK.
Their new song is pretty catchy, plus they are a real band. They sing live, they play live and they're got at least one person on each instrument unlike Busted.
Anyone remember Busted on TOTP doing 'What I go to school for?' There were 3 of them, just jumping around not playing anything, there were drums clearly in the background too, yet no drummer!
McFly this morning on TOTP (Killers were on CD:UK! Woooo!) played live and were really good, they were in tune, they could sing and from what it looked like they were playing their own stuff although I can't be 100% sure...
All in all though, I'd rather have the charts dominated with loads of Busted/McFly stuff than some of the other crap, at least with Busted having such a big following it shows that 'rock' music is starting to become more popular, they day that all R&B and pop crap is killed off with be the best day ever!
> What the feck has happend to music?
We should all be asking this out loud a lot more often.
It seems Hip-Hoppers and gays rule the charts.
Take the Darkness for example.
What the hell is so dark about 'em anyway?
I didn't get the album because they are gay, I got it becasue I like the songs I'd heard.
I didn't know Comfortably Numb was a cover version either.
