I can never remember what years songs are from. When you get as old as me they all merge into one.

Was Some Might Say this year?

The album was last year, and that track was released last year too, but didn't do very well.

Along came Planet Earth and then suddenly it became popular.

Personally I can't stand The Feeling. I think this year has not been great for music. Too many 80's song remasterd with dance music backing, too many "twee" artists, (eg: Lilly Allen, The Feeling, KT Tunstell, Orson, Paulo Nutini, James Morrison), too much absolute kack (Shakira..... full stop) and way too much hype on the Arctic Monkeys.

Let's just hope 2007 is better.

If I had to go for a band this year, it would be Kasabian. Empire is good, and very different from the first album.

I quite like some of the tracks on the Fratellis album, but I liked them a lot better in the eighties when they were done by the bands who The Fratellis have copied. Itds so derivative I could hardly believe it.

Music released recently in "Copying off someone in the past" shocker.

I have so many I can't remember them all, or distinguish which ones were actually last year... damn memory lapse, ruin my ability to um.... err... whats the word?

I am still young and still remember when music is from. You are turning into Andy B there.

Fall Out Boy - Sugar We're Going Down is this year as well. It has to be one of the big tunes for me, despite being emo.

I make a playlist of all the music I have enjoyed each month, so it is easy to remember what is from when.
