Quite a shit list. GA or Chems.

― chap, Monday, 18 February 2008 14:23 (seventeen years ago)

still trying to get head around Idlewild being in the top 20 only 3 years ago

They're still around, they're just called "Biffy Clyro" these days.

― Dom Passantino, Monday, 18 February 2008 14:24 (seventeen years ago)

I ended up voting for Girls Aloud!

Doves would have run it close though.

― Mark G, Monday, 18 February 2008 15:19 (seventeen years ago)

I have no memory whatsoever of that Nelly song.

― Matt DC, Monday, 18 February 2008 15:23 (seventeen years ago)

But yeah Verbalicious for the win.

― Matt DC, Monday, 18 February 2008 15:23 (seventeen years ago)

liked the Ashanti too

― blueski, Monday, 18 February 2008 15:26 (seventeen years ago)

Doves. Just ahead of Kaiser Chiefs. Even in the oughties, there is always some good music in the UK Top 40.

― Geir Hongro, Monday, 18 February 2008 15:32 (seventeen years ago)

I have no memory whatsoever of that Nelly song.

it's terrible, chuck eddy probably dug it.

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Monday, 18 February 2008 15:33 (seventeen years ago)

2005 was round about the last time i had any idea what was in the charts -- looking at the list i can kind of see why.

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Monday, 18 February 2008 15:35 (seventeen years ago)

i voted "hounds of love" over 50/game and destinys child/t.i./wayne

― J0rdan S., Monday, 18 February 2008 16:16 (seventeen years ago)

didn't realize kt tunstall was popular back then

― J0rdan S., Monday, 18 February 2008 16:17 (seventeen years ago)

Hounds of love, oh-oh. Only about 0.5 other songs worth voting for. Tears for Fears wtf...

― ledge, Monday, 18 February 2008 16:19 (seventeen years ago)

I quite like that Maximo Park song.

― nate woolls, Monday, 18 February 2008 16:21 (seventeen years ago)

that kate bush cover is an abomination.

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Monday, 18 February 2008 16:22 (seventeen years ago)

J-Lo

― DavidM, Monday, 18 February 2008 16:23 (seventeen years ago)

looking at the list i can kind of see why

this top 40 is not significantly worse than any other February top 40 in my almost 30 years

― blueski, Monday, 18 February 2008 16:49 (seventeen years ago)

the Elvis thing was stupid but there's nothing here standing out as particularly horrendous except perhaps Brian & Delta and Tim & Nelly if they weren't so forgettable.

― blueski, Monday, 18 February 2008 16:51 (seventeen years ago)

who the fuck were Dogs tho? really

― blueski, Monday, 18 February 2008 16:51 (seventeen years ago)

Horn sample in Jennifer Lopez - Get Right was pretty horrendous

― ledge, Monday, 18 February 2008 16:52 (seventeen years ago)

Athlete - Wires zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Kaiser Chiefs - Oh My God y'know, with every release I really did love them less and less.

― ledge, Monday, 18 February 2008 16:54 (seventeen years ago)

everything they do is average nowadays

― blueski, Monday, 18 February 2008 16:55 (seventeen years ago)

Not a bad Top 40 at all, my favourites being U2, Ashanti and Doves. Giving it to U2, so help me, but SYCMIOMO is my favourite track of theirs by some considerable distance.

― mike t-diva, Monday, 18 February 2008 17:06 (seventeen years ago)

Athlete and Kaiser Chiefs were both among the best stuff in that list. Along with Doves. Way too much R&B though.

overwhelming feel of artists who have done better -- pharrell, d-child, jay-z, eminem -- or maybe it's just me. 'goodies' is getting slept on.

Yep, it's in a list with some good stuff.

― Mark G, Monday, 18 February 2008 17:17 (seventeen years ago)

ledge wtf on j-lo sample

― If Timi Yuro would be still alive, most other singers could shut up, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 09:50 (seventeen years ago)

4 reals, it's her best track.

― That one guy that hit it and quit it, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 10:34 (seventeen years ago)

I hate saxophones, particularly hate honking screeching saxes, particularly hate endlessly looped 2-second samples of honking screeching saxes.

― ledge, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 11:44 (seventeen years ago)

You hate fun also, yes?

― Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 11:46 (seventeen years ago)

Most definitely.

― ledge, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 11:46 (seventeen years ago)

Cos endlessly looped 2-second samples of honking screeching saxes is pretty much the best shit ever.

― Noodle Vague, Tuesday, 19 February 2008 11:49 (seventeen years ago)

Automatic thread bump. This poll is closing tomorrow.

― ILX System, Sunday, 24 February 2008 00:01 (seventeen years ago)
