There are so many underrated songs- although maybe I'm only saying this because they're some of my favourites of the year.
Basically: She's my man by the Scissor Sisters He said he loved me by Reverend and the Makers Bigger then Big by Luciana/Super Mal Kiss you off by the Scissor Sisters These have also been, for me, the best along with: Teenagers by My Chemical Romance Oh My God by Mark Ronson/Lily Allen Back to Black by Amy Winehouse Shut up and Drive by Rihanna No No No by Girls Aloud Ruby by the Kaiser Chiefs Grace Kelly by Mika There are so many worst ones- the music has been pretty dull this year. I could have done without... Most R&B- some is good, but most drives me mad. Almost all rap. Almost all clubby dancey stuff- there's too much of it. All the droney indie 'rock'- ditto. Mika post Grace Kelly isn't so much bad as overrated. Leon Jackson- When you believe That Spice Girls one. That Katie Melua/Eva Cassidy song. LOL at your username, by the way. |

Paramore- Riot Quote:
My chemical romance
OK, so some of their new ones aren't as good but still...![]() I Disagree Entirely! *ducks to avoid retaliation from sevral posters * Quote:
most indie bands
Agree here though. I have no idea how it gets through- it's so dull! For example Paulo Nutini. Why? And Scouting for Girls etc. It's not music- it's talking in tune.Quote:
Kate nash
Her songs are OK when it comes to the tune but she isn't the best lyricist. The wording seems really clumsy in places.Quote:
-Most anticipated?- I can't keep track either. Especially when songs from other years creep into the annual best/worst lists on Music Channels.I have no idea all the bands I liked released albums last year, Ill probably spend most of 2008 listening to albums from 2007!! I think there are far more overrated songs than underrated. The number of times this year I have looked at the top ten list and wondered how on earth any of those songs became that popular. It beats me how the X factor winner sells so much as well. None of them are all that brilliant. The dull indie music also managed to get sales. How? The lyrics aren't great, the tune isn't great, you can't dance or song to it, it isn't powerful or uplifting or enigmatic- it's just dry. How does it sell so much? |

My Chemical Romance, Panic at the Disco, Fall Out Boy, Plain White Ts etc etc. It's kids music.
All of these bands (except maybe Panic) have had great chart success this year, and that's not down to kids, who are more likely to download from LimeWire etc. |

My Chemical Romance and Fall Out Boy aren't really emo OR kids music. I haven't heard anything by Panic! At the disco so I can't really comment. |
