[Earl Purple]

No, I haven't really got into "The sound of 2005" as you call it. Bravery doesn't sound anything particularly new that Duran Duran weren't doing in the 1980s (and to some extent Ultravox). And I'm still waiting to listen to a single by a band I haven't heard of and go "wow!".

[TheThorne]

yeh but most things are revivals, Brit pop was very 60s influenced now bands are very 80s, or even being Brit pop influenced like The Kaisers or Hard Fi, it just all goes in cycles.

And the older you get the more everything seems done before, you just have to keep the love I guess


It doesnt help that a lot of the best songs this year have been re-issues or songs that have been on albums for ages.


Maybe you should be a bit tighter with quality control maybe go back to your 55 or 60? I preferred it anyway

[Mart!n]

That's a stable chart you got there, a lot of good music I like in your Top 40, lots of Elvis tracks, I don't like the Chemical Romance though, nice to see Stereophonics still climbing, has been No.1, in my chart for a week, my favourite track of the year so far. And a few exceptions from McFly and Willy Mason.
