Top 40 Singles Of 2006 Poll #4: April

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

Sugababes 'Red Dress' came top in the March poll which seems like a good thing even though it's a track from a 2005 album and was re-recorded with the rub new one. No time to muse on that much further though as it's time for the next lot - will it be an April shower of sh1te? judging by the list below, not quite - some real corkers here: [Poll #739256]

I still haven't tracked down the original version of Trina's 'Here We Go' with Teedra Moses instead of Donkey Rowland - I hope someone can HELP ME OUT HERE.

Also I will reiterate from the previous post that the Trina album The Glamorest Life is very good indeed, though if you haven't got her 2002 tour de force Diamond Princess that is even better (ie one of the best hip-hop albums EVER MADE!).

I have been unable to hear 'Tribute To Jinky' or 'Radio 4 Theme' so far...I suspect the former is bad but the latter might be quite sedate and pleasant.

Also re: Morrissey - yeah I FUCKING WISH I'D KILLED YOU, you TWAT.

It's like a flower

As usual I have almost certainly heard a ton of these but don't know what they are by name - I AM SUCH A GRANDAD.

One of my ticks is ironical.

PINK: GR8 or H8?

H8. This song is TERRIBLE.

MVP

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

the MVP track is great - borrows and appropriates the 'I Like To Move It' riff - it's always playing in stores such as Footlocker, or JD Sports. have people here not heard it or could it just be that they DISLIKES it??

tracks like this make me miss Poptimism club night more...although 'S.O.S'. and 'Temperature' would probably go down much better.

Deleted Goths

I can't believe Gnarls Barkley are deleting their single! It is good! And could give Bwyan Adams a run for his record-breaking money!

omg!

D4L (http://www.atlanticrecords.com/d4l) has a sample of Crystal Waters!

CONFUSION

[alexmacpherson.livejournal.com]

'Crazy' and 'SOS' are probably the clumsiest and least interesting vaguely-r&b songs listed (though both still v good obv), certainly compared to Nelly, D4L, Trina, Sean Paul - yet they are the ones out in front!

IT'S TRUE:

[byebyepride.livejournal.com]

In ten years time we will look back at Gnarls Barkley with as much horror as we do now at Everything I Do, I Do It For You. They are essentially the same record.

WHO ON EARTH

[thenipper.livejournal.com]

...is/are Milburn? Surely they have the most uninspiring band name of all time?

Juanes - La Camisra Negra

[juror8.livejournal.com]

This is actually really good, and got in the top 40 despite nobody ever having heard it in the UK ever.

Flips

[chezghost.livejournal.com]

I should've picked the Flaming Lips as the worst song really. because it is the worst song i've ever heard in my entire life, let alone April 2006.

If I asked for someone to send me some of these, could that be a possiblity, or would that be a bad thing, with much badness, cause my p2p is sad lately
