Am I the only one who has heard of Nine Black Alps? They're so much better than commercial manufactured music like Westlife, Avril Lavigne, and The Darkness.

Who is the best MC ever? I think it's either Jay-Z or 2Pac.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 28 November 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

Most underrated band? Has to be Derlirious.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 28 November 2005 14:43 (twenty years ago)

the passing? its gone?! no more music pages on ch 4???

― okoko, Monday, 28 November 2005 14:46 (twenty years ago)

(that's The Void, boss)

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Monday, 28 November 2005 14:47 (twenty years ago)

oh. the music pages on bbc ceefax were always rubbish i thought.
hey dom, what are your best hip hop albums of 2005?

― okok, Monday, 28 November 2005 14:47 (twenty years ago)

Dom is talking nonsense, Westlife have sold 90 million records. Everybody will remember "You raise me up" as the song of the decade. Nine Black Who?

Hi, does anyone know what Cast are up to now?

― Wizz, Monday, 28 November 2005 15:04 (twenty years ago)

How could your reviewers totally neglect to mention JJ72's excellent new EP? It's easily as good as anything put out by Keane, Coldplay or Razorlight in the last year.

JJ72 Fan

Wizz: The bass player from Cast recently serviced my Vauxhall Astra at a Liverpool garage. Don't know about the rest of them. Hope this helps.

― Rob M (Rob M), Monday, 28 November 2005 15:12 (twenty years ago)

"Angels" is the best song ever. It makes me cry every time. What do other Voiders think of it?

Robbie fan (13).

― Rob M (Rob M), Monday, 28 November 2005 15:13 (twenty years ago)

(Ahem, I meant Vibers actually. I'm slightly shocked that it's being stopped, it was essential reading.)

― Rob M (Rob M), Monday, 28 November 2005 15:14 (twenty years ago)

JohnFoxxJuno - no one reviewed the JJ72 EP because they are rubbish, and a pale rip-off the vastly superior Muse.

Muse fan.

Ed, are you single?

I was so gutted that The Stands have split up. They were my favourite band of the last 80 years! Who else is looking forward to the new Elbow album?

― Stands Fan, Monday, 28 November 2005 15:21 (twenty years ago)

I was at last night's My Vitriol gig and let me tell you that your reviewer must have been seeing a different band in a different place because the gig was AWESOME just like always.

Som's pants

― Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Monday, 28 November 2005 15:23 (twenty years ago)

OMG I've just seen Miles Hunt in concert at The Leadmill and WOW. The best gig since ever. How he is not the biggest pop guy in teh world is beyond me. I mean, Size Of A Cow guys, HELLO!

Levellers Fan, Devon

― JohnFoxxsJuno (JohnFoxxsJuno), Monday, 28 November 2005 15:50 (twenty years ago)

19 year old singer (High Wycombe area) looking to form band must like Green Day, Nirvana, Oasis, Kaiser Chiefs.

the uk is a crazy place

― nervous (cochere), Monday, 28 November 2005 15:54 (twenty years ago)

Does anyone like The Beatles?

Re; David Sneddon
I'll miss his talent and personable manner.

'Has anyone noticed how similar Coldplay sound like Simple Minds? Chris Martin even moves like Jim Kerr on stage' Diane, Belfast.

'Diane - Chris Martin couldn't lace Jim Kerr's boots. What an insult to Jim Kerr' Anon.

If you miss the Void I suggest you check out the worldmix forums where it's spirit lives on.

I preferred the old channel 4 pages done by Jon Homer.

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Monday, 28 November 2005 16:18 (twenty years ago)

Dom Passantino is pretentious! Avril Lavigne is NOT manufactured she writes her material and sings from the heart. Avril 4 REAL!

― A.C.M.E. (A.C.M.E.), Monday, 28 November 2005 20:02 (twenty years ago)

Our perfect band would be James Dean Bradfield (Manics) on vocals, Richey James (Manics) on guitar, Nicky Wire (Manics) on Bass and Sean Moore (Manics) on Drums. That's because the Manics are the perfect band!

From Nicky Wire's Nosehair and Rebecca Nahid's third from right eyelash.

― Cressida Breem (neruokruokruokne?), Monday, 28 November 2005 23:50 (twenty years ago)

I like really eclectic music like Macy Gray and REM, not rubbish like Westlife. Not all girls like boybands, you know!

― ailsa (ailsa), Monday, 28 November 2005 23:59 (twenty years ago)

Forget these fake Pop Stars, Darren Hayes has a new single out. The guy's got it all: he's a great songwriter with the best voice in the business. And he makes my pants wet.

P.S. I am 43.

― Amity Wong (noodle vague), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 10:41 (twenty years ago)

Noodle Vague actually did write that.

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 11:09 (twenty years ago)

Yes. It war me who wrote letters about Darren Hayes to The Vibe every day. He make my pants wet.

― Amity Wong (noodle vague), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 11:16 (twenty years ago)

He makes you piss yourself with laughter?

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 11:34 (twenty years ago)

Note to all these pop fakers, Geri will be back with a new album soon!

Peter Pinsent

― carson dial (carson dial), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 12:03 (twenty years ago)

do pinsent and nahid still message on the vibe and the void then? not read either in about 2 years.

― Last Of The Famous International Pfunkboys (Kerr), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 12:25 (twenty years ago)

I have alwats had a mental image of Pinsent stalking Haliwell as she goes through George Michael's bins.

― MitchellStirling (MitchellStirling), Tuesday, 29 November 2005 12:26 (twenty years ago)

Not sure about Ms. Nahid, but Peter makes an appearance every now and then on The Void.

And then there is the ultimate…shrouded in mystery…an enigma…who knows what drives him…the one…the only:
