A Year In Pop: 7

A somewhat slack week for new entries this. Perhaps we could talk about something else?

[Poll #931262]

Any ideas? Actually, here's something - was anyone reading this into Snow Patrol before they were enormous - and how do they feel about the band now they are The Biggest Band In Britain?

Also, don't forget to vote in the Jop Tournament quarter-finals.

I've got to disagree with Kat... this is the best Feeling song. It has clever lyrics, a catchy tune and a fab chorus.

I was heavily into Snow Patrol in my first year at Uni (2000-2001), and listened to 'Songs For Polar Bears' a great deal. When 'Final Straw' came out, I quite liked 'Spitting Games' which was the first single, but then they released 'Run' and everything subsequent to that has just been a poor attempt to copy Coldplay's success. The new single is rubbish, although I did quite like the Martha Wainwright one, although I suspect that's purely because it had Martha Wainwright singing on it.
