For some reason, I love World of our Own by Westlife. I really don't like boybands (got nothing against them, just not my sort of thing) but that song always makes me feel really happy.

The Proclaimers.

That song has recently been bastardised for Comic Relief by 2 other blokes whose names escape me, there was a thread about in entertainment chat last week iirc.

On topic, I normally hate Westlife with a passion but their version of Barry Manilow's "Mandy" wasn't too bad IMO, and neither was their version of Bonnie Tyler's "Total Eclipse of the heart"

How do you keep so up to date with the news - are you a Daily Mail reader?

This thread has just reminded me of a song by a band which I don't normally like. Mardy Bum _ Arctic Monkeys. I can't for the life of me think why I thought of it.

Pure Shores and Overload I have to agree with. I'd also add the last Take That single, 'Shine', and I quite like 'Patience' ......... oh dear :blush:

I hated Take that back in the days when they was so popular, i got fed up of hearing them with my sister been a fan and was not pleased when they re-formed. But i got to say i got to like their last song shine, I dont know why but i do like it, maybe it becase i been T-toal for the past 3ys and i've not got the alcohol to block the sound anymore.

Can't stand Mick Hucknall. but he has got a nice voice and I heard a song of his which was great but can't remember the title, anyone know which it could be?

I think I know the one you mean. Is it the one that starts off with a verse, followed by a chorus that's repeated at various other parts of the song?

First one that comes to mind is "Whole Again" by Atomic Kitten. Oh........& "Country House" by Blur.
I suppose there's plenty more but that'll do for now.

'The Scientist' - Coldplay. There are a couple of excellent covers out there.

And I still like 'Never Ever' :D .

I like Patience as well. But I have never had any shame about liking pop music, the Beatles, Motown, Buddy Holly and the likes of the Ronettes and the Crystals were pure pop at the time (and ridiculed by the folkies, trad dad types etc) but now have "cred".

But I suppose the oddest one for me is "The Way You Make Me Feel", which I think is just fantastic. It is not so much odd because it is song by Ronan Keating (who is not my fave rave but whom I have nothing against) but becuase it was written by Bryan Adams, who I otherwise find pretty universally abysmal (well the duet with Mel C was alright).

A couple of Beyonce songs, Crazy In Love and Bootylicious.

I'm realy not a fan of hers but I like those two.

Sexy Back by Justin Timberlake - I just can't see the appeal, but I do like that song.

Also Blue (definitely NOT a fan!), but liked about 20 seconds of the court room song, hang on it will come to me..... All Rise (had to check website), something about waving your hands in the air, I liked that bit. Simon's quite good since they split too.

Everybody Get Up by 5ive actually sounds like the Beastie Boys if you listen to it without "baggage" (just as "Crazy Horses" by the Osmonds actually sounds like Led Zeppellin or something if you listen to it with an open mind).

Torn by Natalie Imbruglia,
Especially for you, Kylie (actually liked her in Neigbours though) must be the huge lips
one or two by Mick Hucknall - should only be on the radio
same with Jagger
