surely its sixties and seventies disco era crap?

the flares in portsmouth is total tripe. it is too small and full of older people because of the music. in most places flares is novelty but in portsmouth most of the clubs play old crappy music.

That is possibly the most irritating song I have heard my entire life.

But I agree that on the whole things are getting better... man.

I dont understand how the Keane album is still in the top 10. Its alrite, but surely everyone in the country must own a copy of it now!

Slighty dissapointed REM didnt even get in the top 30 with their new single, maybe if Radio1 played it atleast once, things may have been different.

I was wondering that with other albums like the Killers (until last week) and Scissor Sisters as well. Whoever wants a copy must own one, they'll have new albums out before long

Radio 1 hasn't played REM since Mayo left. It's a shame because they are consistently good. I don't understand why they still champion U2, but don't give REM the time of day.

They're overrated IMO. Their tunes are good, but I wouldn't put a single U2 song in the top 1000 songs of all time.

with or without you
sweetest thing
pride in the name of love

none of them, you must be mad

rem - i bought their 2001 album and its so dull even radio 2 probably wouldnt play it. their music is too dull now and radio 1 never play old music so thats why youll not hear rem classics - well apart from tedious link.

Im not a big U2 fan but that is rubbish. With or Without You is great and In the Name of Love also.

I wouldn't put them in my top 10 best ever songs but saying they wouldn't be in your top 1000 is just being silly. they're not great but they still write a decent tune now and then.

i actually prefer the more recent stuff. some of the dross in the eighties was cringeworthy.

their current song is very good.
User avatar

yes, the current one is very good - their best songs are the slow ones!

they have some great songs but they do get overplayed. not just on radio1 but a lot of commercial stations especially the ones that say "the best of the eighties, nineties and now" and i get bored of hearing their songs. that dont mean i dont think they dont write good songs. i also like REM but their older stuff is best. i got the album Reveal (i think thats the one bob is on about) and it is a rather boring record. you kind of cant tell where one track ends and the next begins.

Doesn't every single one of them have that very claim? must be near enough all of em, and it's always 'the best mix' of them too. :roll:

Everybody Hurts. Proberly the best song ever.
Dont like Vertigo. with or without it a decent song tho.

If you want a decent record but "automatic for the people" by REM. Such an awesome album.

It is actually a very good album.. Sidewinder Sleeps Tonite and Nightswimming are fantastic.

Yeah, there's not a bad track on AFTP.

I used to like With or Without You, but when you hear it quite a few times you go off it dramatically. Same sort of thing as Bohemian Rhapsody and Angels.

I agree on the other two but not on that... suppose you do hear the other two more though.

still in my top 1000 though.
