This is interesting, because Amy Lee is, from what I have read, generally reckoned to be a good recording artist but poor live. And I have to say, when I saw Evanescence, she was awful, she held the tunes well but her voice had no power or colour. I haven't heard the live album, so maybe she was having an off night, but like I said, others have observed this too. I love their songs though.

[Sunny So Cal]

Missing, a fantastic song.

I agree. Her voice is haunting on that track.

[kendra k]

i just heard a first hand report of how terrible she was live recently.

the song i can't get enough of now is "age of consent" by new order. i need it!

[Fladz]

My favourite song right onw is probly Craig David - Hot stuff.

Marie Antoinette's soundtrack really brought attention to all the old music. Funny. Was great to hear Siouxsie and the Banshees in it, too.

[MK Chris]

Craig David's still around?

[Vivienne]

There's another choon I'm into, by Linekin Park... something about the sun going down. Beautiful.

[MK Chris]

The best track Linkin Park did was In the End, but I like lots of their songs (manufactured or not). Their Live in Texas album is excellent.

[Vivienne]

So that's the spelling of the Band, I will remember that. The upcoming choon is beautiful. I don't normally like them, but I do like this one.

[Bonanzoid]

Tracks that are around at the moment would have to be Biffy Clyro - Machines and Foo Fighters - Long Road To Ruin, both their new albums are amazing.

The best track Linkin Park did was In the End

I'm not sure I'd say it was their best, personally, I think 'What I Done' is their best song to date, although 'In the End' is probably a very close second.

[Vivienne]

You haven't heard the LATEST. It's THE best.

[Console]

I don't think I have heard their latest actually, what's it called?

[Bonanzoid]

Shadow of the Day? It's too unlike them I think. What I've Done was a stonking choon.

[Vivienne]

the fact that it's so unlike them is the reason I like it. It makes me cry, so I'm going to buy it.

[Console]

Ah, I've just listened to the song, and I now realise that I have heard it before, I just hadn't realised it was Linkin Park; it is very, very unlike them. It's not a bad song, but it doesn't really hold a candle to some of their other tracks.

[Vivienne]

It's the ONLY ONE of their's I like. It makes me sob. If a choon can make me sob, I have to purchase it.

[Bonanzoid]

It's good, but I couldn't help thinking there was something missing from it, a bit less 'oomph; than your average Linkin Park song.

[Yudster]

Why choon? Surely the only reason for doing something like that would be an abbreviation? I may start a campaign to add "choon" to the same box currently containing "lol" and "Fact".

[Bonanzoid]

Forgive the n00biness etc, but what's the significance of 'lol' and 'fact'?

[Yudster]

"lol" and other "txt" phrases are banned. Also we had a poster (see if you can guess who it was?!) who kept posting their opinions and ending the post with "FACT", Chris Harris didn't like it (nor did anyone else...) so he banned that too. Don't worry too much, just use regular English and steer clear of the cliches and you''ll be fine.

[MK Chris]

"lol" is the worst, but quite a long way, in my opinion. It's the most horrible abbreviation I've ever come across.

[foot-loose]

"loool", however, is perfectly acceptable. (I assume it's to indicate something that is funnier than "lol" but not so funny as "rofl".)

As is "whu". (whu = who. Brilliant!)

[Yudster]

What do the rest of you think of "choon" though? Is it just me? If it's only me that doesn't like it, I'll shut up!

[Console]

It's not only you. I can't understand why people say that, it just makes them sound stupid.
