StanSP Posted 4 January 2010 Share Posted 4 January 2010 When you say Mr Brightside winning this shambles of a contest, are you publishing your dismay at the song or the contest itself? Because I quite like the song and is one of my favourite Killers tracks. Everyone will all have their different opinion though, and I can see why Mr Brightside was chosen, but also understand why some people may not. For me though, my favourites would be: Good Riddance (Time of your life) - Green Day Last Train Home - Lostprophets Last Summer - Lostprophets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miquel The Work Geordie Posted 4 January 2010 Share Posted 4 January 2010 The Smiths - This Charming Man The Stone Roses - I Wanna Be Adored / This Is The One / Made of Stone NIN - Hurt The Rolling Stones - Wild Horses / Sympathy For the Devil Jimi Hendrix - Castles Made Of Sand RHCP - Otherside Smashing Pumpkins - Tonight / Today / Cherub Rock Muse - Plug In Baby Placebo - Every You, Every Me Prince - When Doves Cry Off the top of my bonce, if we're talking 'classics.'

Fosse Boy Posted 4 January 2010 Share Posted 4 January 2010 Deep Purple - Child In Time Radiohead - Street Spirit (Fade Out) The Jam - The Eton Rifles Also agree with Sonnet, Superstition, Unfinished Sympathy and quite a few of Alexei and MTWG's. All music taste depends on the individual of course, but for there to be a common concensus that Mr. bleedin' Brightside is the best song of all time or whatever is utterly ridiculous. It's not even The Killers' best song, let alone the world's. If we were talking about the top 1000 songs overplayed to death in clubs on the other hand, they might have had a point.

Trav Le Bleu Posted 4 January 2010 Share Posted 4 January 2010 Seriously, what did you expect from XFM except something predictably MotR Below are some far worthier contenders... if not my favourites they're better than Mr Brightside (which I like and own I might add) Plug-In Baby - Muse Heaven of your Hands - American Music Club Gentlemen - Afghan Whigs Rolodex Propoganda - At The Drive-in It's My Life - Talk Talk Look of Love - ABC I Wish - Skeelo What's Going On - Senser Television the Drug of the Nation - Disposable Heroes of Hiphoprisy The Lost Art of Keeping a Secret - QotSA Gigantic - Pixies Soon - My Bloody Valentine Unfinished Sympathy - Massive Attack Pyramid Song - Radiohead Don't Fight It; Feel It - Primal Scream If I Was Your Girlfriend - Prince Paint It Black - Rolling Stones Jo Jo's JAcket - Stephen Malkmus It Was A Good Day - Ice Cube White Winter Hymnal - Fleet Foxes Midlife Crisis - Faith No More The Killing Moon - Echo & the Bunnymen God Only Knows - The Beach Boys Can't Truss It - Public Enemy Maps - Yeah Yeah Yeahs Tired of Being Alone - Al Green Burn Baby Burn - Ash You're All I Need To Get By - Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell 3AM Eternal - KLF Inbetween Days - The Cure I could go on, but I won't.

Hugo Sanchez Posted 4 January 2010 Share Posted 4 January 2010 Well to be fair Live Forever was voted by HMV and Q as the greatest song of all time The poll was around 20,000 people. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnegan Posted 4 January 2010 Share Posted 4 January 2010 Slide Away - OasisDeath On The Stairs - The Libertines This Is The One - The Stone Roses Sonnet - The Verve In My Life - The Beatles Surely Bitter Sweet Symphony? Sure it's overplayed but there's a reason for that, Sonnet and Drugs Don't Work were a little dirgey. I'd want to see on the list: House of the Rising Sun - any version, I suppose the Animals though I reckon Dylan's was better. Huricane, Times They Are A' Changng - Bob Dylan Old Man, Heart of Gold - Neil Young Fast Car - Tracy Chapman No Woman No Cry - Bob Marley Voodoo Child - Hendrix Mustang Sally - Mack Rice/Wilson Pickett Nothing But Flowers - Talking Heads Iron Maiden - The Trooper Bill Bragg - Waiting For The Great Leap Forwards RATM - Bulls on Parade BRMC - Whatever Happened To My Rock And Roll (albeit probably somewhere quite low down) Sisters of Mercy - This Corrosion There's a pretty mixed bag for you.

StanSP Posted 4 January 2010 Share Posted 4 January 2010 Mr Brightside won song of the decade too, on that wonderful music channel E4. Chasing Cars won song of the decade on Channel 4's 'Greatest Song of the Noughties'. Is there a link to the 1000 best songs results? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BoneDog Posted 4 January 2010 Share Posted 4 January 2010 Is rap allowed in this competition cos there's at least 497 rap tunes that would make it into any top 1000. Also what is Mr Brightside? I thought he was the DJ on XFM when I saw the thread. I'm not checking on youtube until I hear what people say is Mr Brightside. And what is the L**E thing Smuts was on about in first post? EDIT : "Any M**e love will not be appreciated." What does this mean? I can't figure out the M**e bit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
