anyone else think Dry your eyes is a decent tune??

and can anyone tell me who and what is the reply song called
as i cannot find any info about it

[Mk.]

The Streets's album is the best album released in 2004 thus far. It's fantastic.

Somebody please try and argue this point with me so I can prove you wrong.

[Sheep]

yes, very decent tune, its at number 1 aint it?

Nah, their original album was much better. This is just like listening to a broken record this time round...

I'm 50-50 on Streets. I can listen to their music and enjoy it a bit yet I wouldn't choose it over much and don't want to like it. Skinner is far from a genius, whoever praises him as one should be shot.

[Sheep]

yea, i agree, i think the new one is catchy and it grew on me but i dont think therye that great, i dont like anything else theyve done

[Dickie]

the streets are awful. i havent listened to their new album but i can guarantee you that even if they are decent songs, ive got to the point where i think that guy is such a pillock, i wont be a fan anyway.

id be fine with it if people just got on listening enjoying his stuff, but its when people start telling me hes a genius - i mean what the *? hes no genius, hes just a clever guy who saw a market for the music and makes * of cash from it


there - argued

Tell me one recent new British artist who has written lyrics that people can relate to like Mike Skinner's, that's the point! And nearly every corner of the music world wouldn't be raving about The Streets so much if this wasn't the case. So any artists you'd like to put forward, what musical talent is this country really producing. The biggest joke was Ms. Dynami-te-he winning the Mercury Music Prize ahead of Original Pirate Material, that was criminal.

[LastChanc]

That above was my weak attempt to argue against them, though really I think the new album is better than the old one, though it took some time for some of the tracks to grow on me.

Marie, on of the drivers at work, was playing it in her unit a few months ago when it first came out and she said it was really good from start to finish. Then I listened to it and though that maybe she'd got a little too excited about it. Though having heard it all the way through many times now it really grew on me and even the bits I wasn't too fussed on to start with I think are really very good - if only for the way it tells the story...

[Sheep]

yea i heard about that, i havent heard it but is the story exciting?
Or is it just him going on holiday etc...

[Dickie]

Blokes TV breaks, bloke loses a thousand quid, bloke splits up with girlfriend, bloke loses marbles. . . .

The end i will leave a mystery, Track 11 - Empty Cans (Sweeeeet!)

[Adam]

plenty more fish in the sea.

[Ickle Angel]

I really cant stand the streets

You idiot. I wouldn't of minded if you'd just said they were not your cup of tea, but it is is genius. Modern, poetic, cool and emotional. Those four words alone make it genius.

How old are you Bridgie? You argue like you're 14.

[Sidders]

It is far from genius. I admit, he is fairly clever though.

[Lew]

ive never liked the streets enough to gbuy an album but i think of all the recent mainstream acts, they are the best.

maybe i'll download an album instead

[Tom Holt]

i don't think i'd buy the album but i still listen to the songs - it's not as if its causing any pain

i Concure.....

it is such a great album.

[Adam]

I admit, he is fairly clever though.

Is he from the Midlands?

[Dickie]

Brought up in the Midlands, moved to London in recent years.

[jameseuk]

the streets perform better live however the songs are still crap

[DemonHorse]

yes, very decent tune, its at number 1 aint it?

Yeah, but will probably be replaced with Busted's Thunderbirds Are Go or something, and there has definately been some absolute trash getting to number 1 within the history of the charts (like the Spice Girls post-Geri for instance, and Steps' bad Abba and Beegees covers, or more recently eamon and frankee). The point is, being Number 1 doesn't always mean it's quality.

[Sheep]

yea it has been, i was saying it was a good tune AND clarafying that it was at number one

[HoochieDoochie]

or more recently eamon and frankee

*Shiver*

I have to say that those sort of songs make you despair in the human race!

[Jono]

lol yeh
