What a shocker, Everyone so far has chosen songs from bands/artists that not one person on the planet has heard of except for themselves.

Trendy Snobs  :P

How one arth do you people hear this music??? Do you just go to a store and see some artist/band you've never heard of and pick up their album for the hell of it? From what I know, none of the artists you people have picked have received any radio airplay on any format...

Just another case of people "rebelling" against anything played on the radio or anything that's popular.  No wonder the world is crap today.


Arctic Monkeys and Sandi Thom were big hits outside of the United States (not sure on the others).  ::)

Just because you don't know any of the bands listed, doesn't mean that no one else will either.  I seem to remember having a similar discussion like this with someone else long ago, so I'll say to him what I will say to you ...

"There's more to music than what's in the US Top 40"

No joke Whistledog. There are some pretty obscure artist I like as well.

Arctic Monkeys had 3 singles from their first album (Dancefloor, Fake Tales of San Francisco & When The Sun Goes Down) and 3 from this latest one (Brianstorm, Di is for Dangerous and Flourescent Adolescent - yes it's spelt like that!)

They aren't unknown by any means. The most successful britpop act of the last year.

Sandi Thom had a number 2 hit earlier this year with "Punk Rocker".

Kings of Leon are pretty well known on rock stations.

No Worries by Simon Webbe

In My Highly Subjective Opinion:  :D

Last 12 months: Intervention by Arcade Fire

Last 7 Years: Bliss by Muse
Honourable Mention: The Shining by Badly Drawn Boy

  Don't Know Why ~ Norah Jones

  or

  Flake ~ Jack Johnson...

That Crazy song...

I much prefered the Ray LaMontagne version

Apoligize-OneRepublic  (my daughter got me in this one)

Some might be suprised, but I like "Big Girls Don't Cry" & "Clumsy" from Fergie

So tough to answer my answer would rotate by the day probably. I guess I could nominate some per year.

2000: Never Let You Go - Third Eye Blind/ I Turn to You - Christina Aguilera
2001: Fallin - Alicia Keys/ Southside - Moby and Gwen Stefani
2002: Can't Get You Out of My Head - Kylie Minogue/ Lose Yourself - Eminem
2003: Clocks - Coldplay/ Can't Stop - Red Hot Chili Peppers
2004: White Flag - Dido/ It's My Life - No Doubt (cover I know)
2005: Mr. Brightside - Killers/ Cool - Gwen Stefani
2006: Say It Right - Nelly Furtado or Crazy - Gnarls Barkley
2007: No One - Alicia Keys/ Apologize - One Republic

It is hard to choose just one song from an entire decade (or almost an entire decade)....

Hmmm, I'd say "Hill Farmer Blues" by Mark Knopfler (I'll be a trendy snob, I guess - even though Mark Knopfler is relatively popular)

Not being exposed to much new music (I stopped listening actively to the radio in 1988), I can only suggest a few nominations:

-The Monster Is Loose: Meat Loaf
-Mute: Stakka Bo
-Punk Rock 101: Bowling For Soup
-Body Snatcher: Billy Idol
-Loveline: The Tubes

The best song in the UK Charts released last week and stands at #12, The Pogues & Kirsty MacColl - Fairytale Of New York

please tone down the name calling, thank you.

As for the radio, who in the world listens to commercial radio anymore? I don't find new music from regular radio stations.  They're all full of commercials and annoying DJs that don't talk about the music or even properly announce the songs.  I find most of it from online blogs and file sharing.  I'm assuming a lot of other people do as well. Nothing trendy about it, it's just that commercial radio stations play mostly what the labels pay them to play, which is CRAP.
