- These are all 4 or 5 star, 10+ listens on iTunes on my laptop alone (not including my iRiver or at work etc). Basically that means my family should recognise all of these from the sounds eminating from my room.
- Here come the Aussies: Eskimo Joe, Little Birdy, Youth Group, Sneaky Sound System, Something For Kate, Expatriate, Red Riders, Starky and The Grates.
- Will, the other Evermore song was Unbreakable. It follows roughly the same formula as Running (uplifting chorus sort of thing), but the quiet bit in the middle created an atmosphere I grew to like. Good choice for their third single in my book.
- I'll credit Will for introducing me to Kent. It's got the music of Coldplay at their best, but with a more haunting vocalist. Mind you, I didn't work out it was in Swedish until Will told me! I have a habit of making up words and just running with it...
- There are some punk songs up quite high here (The Matches, Rise Against) and a few more to come. Two of modern (i.e. pop influenced) punk's main ingredients of fast drumming and high pitched singing make them ideal for me to join in when I'm driving the Patmobile!

"How to Save a Life" is another great song that I would have placed far higher than where you did... this is quite educational, I have a new list of songs to check out. Thanks! :D
What can I say? I live to give.
Didn't know you liked The Fray! I think they're pretty bloody good.
Definately "All At Once" from The Fray, or Over My Head. Notice you had "She Is", which isn't bad.
Haven't heard the new Youth Group stuff.
Total miss on my part on the Arctic Monkeys songs - obviously we've got different tastes there, not too hard with such a depth of songs on their album.
Good choice on Empire, Silence is Golden, and Killer Kat.
I also like Feels Like Pain from the Grates, and Inside Outside.
I don't like Open Your Eyes, i think its a bit wanky. I prefer Your All I Have, Chasing Cars and Set Fire To The Third Bar (which is a total flop as a single in the UK apparently). Set Fire is great song, really gets you in.
Solid effort Pat, looking forward to the top 25
I like those two Grates songs too Will. Not in the list though.
As for Open Your Eyes, I like a more epic (which can easily be translated to wank) song that really builds up.
lol
Epic = Wank
That is so true Pat
