Here we go again. Ready to flame, spam and bitch? Let's hope so. First up, here's some bands/artists that didn't quite make the 100 this time, and their positions on previous charts. Franz Ferdinand [2004: 38th 2005: 31st] The Darkness [2005: 54th] The Ramones The Verve [2004: 59th 2005: 98th] Kooks Gnarls Barkley Paul McCartney Pulp Slipknot [2004: 17th 2005: 49th] The Clash [2004: 26th 2005: 33rd] Depeche Mode Kaiser Chiefs [2005: 88th] The Kinks [2005: 72nd] Morrissey New Order At The Drive-In Death From Above 1979 Goldfrapp [2004: 78th 2005: 99th] Kasabian [2004: 73rd 2005: 87th] Outkast [2004: 82nd] Yeah Yeah Yeahs The Streets Manic Street Preachers [2004: 47th 2005: 97th] Massive Attack [2004: 62nd 2005: 65th] The Prodigy The Offspring Cheeky Girls David Bowie [2004: 13th 2005: 60th] The Stone Roses [2004: 34th 2005: 91st] Trivium 100-91 will be up later today.

You all suck. Nikki is brilliance.

Not been this sad since Million Dead split up... around this time last year too. Bugger. Saw them live twice, were very good indeed.

Anyone who hasn't voted yet, you have until the 7th to do so. And please, vote for some good bands. If the list stays like this, I think I'll kill myself.

This is horrible. Really, really horrible. I predict more arguements than the first two. Should be fun.

1) Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind 2) Battle Royale 3) Donnie Darko 4) Pulp Fiction 5) Fight Club 6) Vanilla Sky 7) Shaun of the Dead 8) Team America 9) Amelie 10) Drop Dead Fred 11) League of Gentlemen- Apocalypse 12) Liar Liar 13) High Fidelity 14) Open Your Eyes 15) Apocalypse Now 16) Dogma 17) Sin City 18) Kill Bill 19) Toy Story 20) Trainspotting

I've seen them twice- both times at Carling Academy in Birmingham. Second time I was ill and I didn't enjoy it so much but the first time was one of the best performances I've ever seen. It was incredible. I prefer Frances to Deloused. I haven't heard the new one yet, waiting for its full release, but I'm looking forward to it.

It's that time again... (It's not really, I should wait another 2 months but as I'm jobseeking and have little else to do I thought I'd do it now...) Put your 10 bands and solo artists in order.Your number one will get 10 points, number 2 will get 9 points and so on. So, if you will, please post your favourite 10 bands/artists of all time here. I'll post mine in a bit. Here's the run down of the top 100 from the past two years: 2004 1- Radiohead 2- Metallica 3- Rage Against the Machine 4- Muse 5- Foo Fighters 6- Led Zepplin 7- RCHP 8- The Beatles 9- Nirvana 10- Pink Floyd 11- Oasis 12- The Libertines 13- David Bowie 14- The Smiths 15- Pixies 16- The Doors 17- Slipknot 18- System Of A Down 19- The Cure 20- Queen 21- Iron Maiden 22- Placebo 23- Guns n' Roses 24- The Strokes 25- Soundgarden 26- The Clash 27- Smashing Pumpkins 28- Velvet Underground 29- Ash 30- Green Day 31- KoRn 32- The Charlatans 33- Incubus 34- The Rolling Stones 35- Jeff Buckley 36- Coldplay 37- Bob Dylan 38- Franz Ferdinand 39- Jimi Hendrix Experience 40- Weezer 41- White Stripes 42- QOTSA 43- Blur 44- Bjork 45- Razorlight 46- The Mars Volta 47- Manic Street Preachers 48- Black Sabbath 49- Deftones 50- The Cooper Temple Clause 51- Joy Division 52- Feeder 53- The Offspring 54- The Killers 55- BRMC 56- Pearl Jam 57- Alice In Chains 58- Aerosmith 59- Van Halen 60- Tool 61- The Who 62- Massive Attack 63- Flaming Lips 64- Beastie Boys 65- U2 66- Bob Marley and the Wailers 67- Krafwerk 68- Bright Eyes 69- AC/DC 70- Billy Talent 71- HIM 72- Interpol 73- Kasabian 74- The Jam 75- Hope Of the States 76- Rancid 77- Talking Heads 78- Goldfrapp 79- Aphex Twin 80- Beck 81- Audioslave 82- Outkast 83- Orbital 84- The Coral 85- AFI 86- Underworld 87- Biffy Clyro 88- Marylin Manson 89- Basement Jaxx 90- Blink 182 91- Stone Roses 92- Primal Scream 93- At the Drive-In 94- The Pogues 95- Prince 96- Dropkick Murphys 97- Coheed and Cambria 98- The Verve 99- Neutral Milk Hotel 100- Iggy and the Stooges 2005 1.

People liked the Strokes second album? Bloody hell... I just don't like the Yeah Yeah Yeahs second album. It just doesn't work for me. The last track is amazing though.

I'll echo everyone else and say Muse, Radiohead, Nine Inch Nails... The Mars Volta as well. I think FTM was much better than Deloused, but I know that it's a much debated subject... Biffy Clyro too, The Vertigo of Bliss pissed all over Blackened Sky, which I thought was a fairly standard rock record. The Dears 'No Cities Left' is probably my favourite second album. It's a masterpiece. Not only that, but the first album was pretty awful. A few others would be Secret Machines, The Smiths... Some bands that I've loved the debuts of have came back with terrible second efforts: The Strokes, Funeral For A Friend, The Libertines, Hope of the States, Yeah Yeah Yeahs... I'm currently waiting for The Departure, Kasabian, Death from Above 1979 and yourcodenameis:milo's second records... let's hope that they live up to the first albums.

Joe Mangel isn't coming back... Interview with him here: http://www.neighboursfans.com/forum/index....showtopic=9249&

Stu is gone... Glad they gave him a happy ending though. Big Kev! Aceness. The whole Sky/JP thing is boring me already.

YEEEEEESSSSSSSSS!

I've put a few quid on Borgetti at 48-1. Top scorer in qualifying, apparently Mexico's top scorer ever... either way he's good, and Mexico have an easy group.

Supermassive Black Hole.

The second half is so, so much better than the first half. The first half is more Absolution, the second more OOS.
