    This has been receiving some radio play on 98 so I think it may be allowed.
    Better Than Ed - Everything Is Alright


    Fast-forward to 40 seconds to skip the talking. This song is available for free download, I'm trying to find out the link for ya. PM me for it if that's allowed, if not, mods can you edit this part out?

    Lol the irony of you slating an X-Factor song then naming one by The Script as being in the Top 20 of the Year is delicious.

    No irony whatsoever.....the X-factor rubbish is a dire karaoke cover-version of a classic, while The Script is an original song.

    BTW, it's also not one of the ones that was released as a single - have you even heard it before you made your smart-assed comment ?

    P.S. It also doesn't have idiotic lyrics like "Your sex is on fire".....amazing how blinker music snobs can be at times...

    The Ting Tings - That’s Not My Name
    The Ting Tings - Great DJ
    Coldplay - Viva la Vida
    Duffy - Mercy
    Killers - Human
    Kanye West - Love Lockdown
    Adele - Chasing Pavements

    I know music is entirely subjective and everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I'd rather stab myself in the ears than listen to that collection of songs. Stick on Sex on Fire and that last Snow Patrol song and you have pretty much compiled a list of my most despised tracks from 2008.

    edit - I should probably stick in some songs to stay on topic.

    M.I.A. - Paper Planes (2007 really but it was big this year)
    Estelle - American Boy (not terrible)
    Kanye West - Paranoid (Album track, not a single yet but I'm sure it will be)

    Yep I've downloaded and listened to the album and it's shite. I wouldn't be able to comment on the song otherwise.
    P.S. It also doesn't have idiotic lyrics like "Your sex is on fire".....amazing how blinker music snobs can be at times...

    I never said 'Sex on Fire' is a good song :confused:

    Anyway, going on the songs already picked, the OP should probably have 'The Shock of the Lightning' by Oasis. Also consider 'This Is An Emergency' by the Pigeon Detectives.

    For something a little different try 'My People' by the Presets.
