Better-Guns N Roses

It leaked on the internet a few months ago, and will likely be the first single on Chinese Democracy.


Not much good music this year so far. I heard a couple songs from RHCP that was pretty good.

Cascada - Everytime We Touch!

8)

On an Island - David Gilmour
Probably his weakest record so far, but it's still Gilmour

The View From The Afternoon - Arctic Monkeys
Forget the hype, they are actually a decent band

Mind's Eye - Wolfmother
Good Australian band

You're All I Have & Chasing Cars - Snow Patrol
Impressive 4th album by them

...and there are tons of others.

"Lost In Your Eyes (2006 version)"  Deborah Gibson, remade in a Norah Jonesque style  8)

S.O.S.- Rihanna and Unwritten- Natasha Bedingfield would be a couple of mine.

Dani California is a good song.

Dani California is a good song.


The majority of Stadium Arcadium is fantastic. Dani's actually one of the less stand-out songs if you listen to the whole album.

Apart from Jack Johnson, the only record that has caught my ear is Sandi Thom's I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker (With Flowers In My Hair). It was originally available for air play on the radio September last year, but it has now made to the charts achieving the number one slot.

Hmm my favourites are:

Boy Kill Boy - Suzie
Franz Ferdinand - The Fallen
Nerina Pallot - Everybody's gone to war
Hard-Fi - Better do better
Zutons - Why wont you give me your love
Editors - All sparks and Munich
Gnarls Berkley - Crazy
Strokes - Heart In A Cage
The Like - What I say and what I mean

Haven't got my hands on the album yet. But I will do.

Another great one is "When the Night Feels My Song" by Bedouin Soundclash.  It's been in the charts since late 2005 and shows no signs of stopping

It'll be interesting to see if I still like these 5 years from now, but for today it looks like

Bad Day -- Daniel Powter
You're Beautiful -- James Blunt
Crazy -- Gnarls Barkley
Unwritten -- Natasha Bedingfield
Over My Head (Cable Car) -- The Fray
Looking For You -- Kirk Franklin
Dare -- Gorillaz
God's Gift to the World -- ?? (I'm not sure who sings this one just yet, but the original by Phil Perry dates back to 1980)

Some of them were released in late 2005, but were still getting air-play in 2006.

my favorite song of 2006 is walk like a man by the jersey boys

S.O.S.- Rihanna and Unwritten- Natasha Bedingfield would be a couple of mine.

Same here. I can't get enough of them. :D ;D

Natasha Bedingfield "Single"  8)

Okay, here are the ones I like best from the 2005-06 "cusp":

"Unwritten" by Natasha Bedingfield (which I tend to associate more with 2005, since it began to get airplay in November/December)
"Black Horse And A Cherry Tree" by KT Tunstall (more '06 in the States)


And from '06:

"SOS" by Rihanna
"Single" by Natasha Bedingfield


I might have more as the year progresses.

Still waiting for Ashley Tisdale's version of "Kiss The Girl"...

I know "High School Musical" was horrible, but she might be OK as a solo artist.

After all, she's a good actress beyond her years and did started in musical theatre ("Annie", "Les Miz")  :)

Vein of Stars-The Flaming Lips

Promiscuous- Nelly Furtado

Promiscuous- Nelly Furtado

I still haven't heard that one yet...altho I'm sure it's quite good. :-\\

"Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" is pretty good. I also like "Brighter Than Sunshine" by Aqualung and "Say Somethin'" by Mariah Carey.

In the Uk, "Black Horse and the Cherry Tree" was released in March last year (2005)and spending three weeks in the charts, so when it came to 2006, we were well accustomed to it.

Give It Up To Me- Sean Paul feat. Keyshia Cole

And it didn't become a hit in the U.S. until early 2006. That's why it's in the "cusp", as I mentioned in my previous post.  Seems like a lot of songs are a "hand me down" in the U.S.; we don't get 'em till after they've been released in the UK. :-\\

It could be an advertising ploy to test the market?

Probably. I remember first hearing of Take That over here (Stateside) about the same time that they were breaking up. The only song I know them for is "Back to Good".

Take That? Yes, I remember that band; their only hit in the U.S. was "Back For Good" in 1995. Then they broke up...but member Robbie Williams went on to have a solo career.

Take That have reformed and are performing to sell out concerts, but reformed without Robbie Williams for he already has a day job.

Also, Gary Barlow and Mark Owen both had short-termed solo pop career.

Brittany Murphy as in the "I'll Never Tell" actress  ???


If so, is she a good singer or computerized?

Just added to my list: "Put Your Records On" by Corinne Bailey Rae.

This reached number 2 back in March this year in the UK.

Another hand-me-down to the US, huh? Right now it's probably climbing the charts here. I hadn't heard it until recently, so... I don't know how it's really doing right now.

I really don't see the fuss with Corinne Bailey Rae - what's so special about her? Her songs are just mellow and boring imo! I feel the same about her as I do with Coldplay.

My favourite song of the moment is Muse - Supermassive Black Hole. Such an awesome comeback song.

I have quite a few favorite songs. I like "The Adventure" by Angels and Airwaves, and a lot more. I'd have to say "The Adventure" is my favorite though.

Tom Delonge. Yeah. They were pretty awesome in concert I must say. Very different from Blink 182 from what I've heard.

I can't find it to hear it. Is it a parody of the original ?

Not a parody, it is a cover or the original, I do not know yet.

Well there are lots of songs called "Crazy" that have been done over the years. I can name at least four:

1. Patsy Cline (early 60's)
2. Icehouse (late 80's)
3. Seal (early 90's)
  - covered by Alanis last year (gawd I hate that cover) http://www.inthe00s.com/smile/14/puke.gif
4. Aerosmith (mid-90's)

and now...
5. Gnarls Barkley (mid-00's)...I did not know this one was a cover of a previous song. Where does it fit in?

So far:
Supermassive Black Hole - Muse
Dani California - RHCP
Heart In A Cage & You Only Live Once - The Strokes
Roscoe - Midlake
Unemployable - Pearl Jam

there're many more but right now I can't think of any..

You know, if this was actually released in 2006, you'd be clever.  But since it wasn't, you're just annoying.

"Hit Me, Baby, One More Time" is the GREATEST rock song in history!!  The video will go down as the greatest, sexiest ever made!!  Don't matter if it was made back in 1997/98, or whenever..... no other song, or video, will ever be as great!

Too Little Too Late- JoJo

Well, in terms of Top 40, I think that my favourite song of '06 is probably Rihanna's "SOS" - it's not usually my sort of thing, but it's bloody catchy. :)

I also like Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie," Madonna's "Sorry," Franz Ferdinand's "The Fallen," that dancey new Mobile song (though I forgot what it's called), and James Blunt's "You're Beautiful" and "Wise Men" (since he has the first truly distinctive voice I've heard on Top 40 in a long time).

Same here. Usually I don't like songs that take a sample from older songs (esp. those of the 80's), but I find myself wanting to listen to that one each time it comes on.


I also like Shakira's "Hips Don't Lie,"...

I don't much care for that one; it's not as appealing to me as her Laundry Service stuff. :-\\

Out of My Head - Mobile.  A hard rockin' song that's really grown on me

Pull Shapes by Pipettes is quite a catchy number, but not truly a favourite.
