Great song but not the best on their latest album.

Agreed...like the fact that they name drop sufjan stevens in it!

I'm guessing 'Open your Eyes' will feature in your countdown?. 'Beginning to get to me' a great track aswell and of course 'Chasin Cars' is a brilliant track. I could go on forever about 'Eyes Open'.

My two faves are:- Set Fire to the Third Bar & Make This Go On Forever

Have found so much BRILLIANT NEW MUSIC by doing this Top 100 from people on here. It been a MASSIVE win for me anyways. I knew i would get some flak from my taste, but so be it. Everybodys taste is so different and mine probably the wackiest of them all. :D

Wacky is one word for it.... ;)

Only kidding dude. Brave and slightly questionable move doing what you're doing. but its good to see you opening your mind up to other people's suggestions. Discovering new music that you enjoy is IMO one of life's greatest experiences.

---------------------------------------------------------------

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has past
Oh, God it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you
That forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

How do you feel?
That is the question
But I forget
You don't expect an easy answer

When something like a soul
Becomes initialized
And folded up like paper dolls and little notes
You can't expect the bitter folks
And while your outside looking in
Describing what you see
Remember what your staring at is me

Cause' I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has past
All I know is that it feels like forever
And no one ever tells you
That forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

How much is real
So much to question
An epidemic of the mannequins
Contaminating everything
And if that came from the heart
It never did, right from the start
Just listen to the noises(Now I'm more, instead of voices)

Before You tell yourself
It's just a different scene
Remember it's just different from what you've seen

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has past
Now all I know is that feels like forever
And no one ever tells you
That forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

Cause' I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has past
Now all I know is that it feels like forever
And no one ever tells you
That forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

And it's the stars... the stars... that shine for you
And it's the stars... the stars... that lie to you

I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has past
Oh, God it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you
That forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

Cause' I'm looking at you through the glass
Don't know how much time has past
All I know is that it feels like forever
But no one ever tells you
That forever feels like home
Sitting all alone inside your head

And it's the stars... the stars... that shine for you
And it's the stars... the stars... that lie to you
And it's the stars... the stars... that shine for you
And it's the stars... the stars... that lie to you

Oh, when the stars... Oh, when the stars... they lie

I congratulate you on your inclusion of Coldplay See You Soon, but its from 1999, a Parachutes B-side.

Thom Yorke Horrowdown Hill...brilliant!
 
019 - ESKIMO JOE - BLACK FINGERNAILS, RED WINE

Just a great great Aussie Rock song :thumbsu:
I bet everyone has sung along to this song at some stage this year.

------------------------------------------------------------

Black Fingernails, red wine
I wanna make you
All mine
A lot of people underground
You wanna get there
You gotta go straight down, straight down

There's a culture everywhere
Smoke clouds hang in the air
It's so loud, can't hear you talk
You and I should take a walk downtown
Straight down, Downtown, Straight down

The argument over god continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
All of us stand and point our fingers
Straight down

Red letter day
Black heart
It's gonna tear you all apart
So loud, can't hear you call
You and I are gonna fall straight down

Straight down, Downtown, Straight down

The argument over god continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
The argument overall continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
Straight down, Straight down, Straight down

Black Fingernails, red wine
I wanna make you
All mine
A lot of people underground
You wanna get there
You gotta go straight down.....

The argument over god continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
The argument overall continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
Straight down, Straight down, Straight down
 
018 - KEANE - IS IT ANY WONDER

Love this band, backing up the awesome 2004 album "Hopes and Fears" with "Under the Iron Sea". One of my favorite Bands on the planet. :thumbsu:

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I.. I always thought that I knew
I'd always have the right to
be living in the kingdom of the good and true and so on
But now I think I was wrong
and you were laughing along
And now I look a fool for thinking you were on...

My side,
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?

Sometimes it's hard to know where I stand,
It's hard to know where I am,
Well maybe it's a puzzle I don't understand.
Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm
stranded in the wrong time
where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme, a soundbite

Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days, after all the misery made,
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?

Nothing left inside this old cathedral,
just the sad, lonely spires,
How do you make it right?

Oh, but you try,
Is it any wonder I'm tired?
Is it any wonder that I feel uptight?
Is it any wonder I don't know what's right?
Oh, these days, after all the misery made,
Is it any wonder that I feel afraid?
Is it any wonder that I feel betrayed?
 
017 - NERINA PALLOT - EVERYBODY'S GONE TO WAR

One of the catchiest tunes of 2006. Thanks to Constipated Duck for his tip on this one. And yes Mainstream Radio are absolutley flogging it now. Its everywhere.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

I've got a friend, he's a pure-bred killing machine,
He said he's waited his whole damn life for this,
I knew him well when he was seventeen,
Now he's a man who'll be dead by Christmas.

And, so...
Everybody's going to war,
But we don't know what we're fighting for,
Don't tell me it's a worthy cause,
No cause could be so worthy.

If love is a drug, I guess we're all sober,
If hope is a song I guess it's all over,
How to have faith, when faith is a crime?
I don't want to die...
If God's on our side, then God is a joker,
Asleep on the job, his children fall over,
Running out through the door and straight to the sky,
I don't want to die...

For every man who wants to rule the world,
There'll be a man who just wants to be free,
What do we learn but what should not be learnt?
Too late to find a cure for this disease.

so...
Everybody's going to war,
But we don't know what we're fighting for,
Don't tell me it's a worthy cause,
No cause could be so worthy.

If love is a drug, I guess we're all sober,
If hope is a song, I guess it's all over,
How to have faith, when faith is a crime?
I don't want to die...
If God's on our side, then God is a joker,
Asleep on the job, his children fall over,
Running out through the door, and straight to the sky,
I don't want to die...
I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I
don't want to die,
I-I don't want to die...

so...
Everybody's going to war,
But we don't know what we're fighting for,
Don't tell me it's a worthy cause,
No cause could be so worthy.

If love is a drug, I guess we're all sober,
If hope is a song, I guess it's all over,
How to have faith, when faith is a crime?
I don't want to die...
If God's on our side, then God is a joker,
Asleep on the job, his children fall over,
Running out through the door, and straight to the sky,
I don't want to die...
I-I-I-I
I-I-I-I
don't want to die,
I-I don't want to die...

I've got a friend, he's a pure-bred killing machine,
I think he might be dead by Christmas...
 
018 - KEANE - IS IT ANY WONDER

I reckon 'A Bad Dream' is the best track on the album. Interesting to see if it is in your top 16!

I also think that Pony Up!'s 'Truth About Cats and Dogs Is That They Die' is my fave track of 2006...

Best Placebo song i heard this year was the cover of Kate Bush's Running Up That Hill...very very good.

Geez they are a great band. Great Song that Kate Bush cover :thumbsu:

Just downloaded it. :thumbsu:

Seems i might have found another song to smash for a week :p

Yeah that's an enjoyable track. Would be in my top 10-15. And it's time to start thinking about that, as Hottest 100 voting commences in a little under 2 weeks.

I respect everyone's taste in music, but this top 100 list isn't really for me. Definitely a tough thing to do though.
 
016 - ESKIMO JOE - SARAH

Another great Aussie Rock song :thumbsu: , Not as good as the song by Fleetwood Mac with the same title but another Aussie song inside my top 20.
Real sucker for Stevie Nicks, have a couple of her concerts on DVD, she is a GEM. Sings a great duet with Tom Petty - "Stop Draggin my Heart Around"
Anybody have any duet suggestions of any great songs, let me know :thumbsu:

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Sarah
Won't you tell me your name?
I've been waiting here for hours
In the garden by the flowers

You're so shy
So just open your eyes
the boys form a line
to be written out in time

A long long long long time ago
Emergency
I think I am fallin apart
Emergency
I think I am losing the fight

And I dont know if I can do it
I dont know if I can try
I dont know if anyone asks me the reason, I lie
She sighed

Sarah
Is she your new best friend
One day it will end
You know it will

You're so shy
So just let it fall apart
Let it stumble in the dark
Razors in your heart

A long long long long time ago
Emergency
I think i am fallin apart
Emergency
I think i am losing the fight

And I dont know if I can do it
I dont knwo if i can try
I dont know if anyone asks me the reason, I lie
She Sighed

She sighed

You're so shy

***
I think i am falling apart
**
I think I am losing the fight

And i dont know if I can do it
I dont know if I can try
I dont know if anyone asks me the reason, I lie
She sighed

She sighed

Oh, No
