Oh. My. God.

What's the Kooks doing on mtv2?

[Bárbara]

K so. IMO, it was a disappointment overall.

As for the tracks, I only agree with Metric. I'd put 4 of the following:
lostprophets' Can't Catch Tomorrow,
Taking Back Sunday's Makedamnsure,
Atreyu's Ex's and Oh's,
Billy Talent's Red Flag,
Incubus' Anna Molly,
Alexisonfire's This Could Be Anywhere In The World.

As for the albums, hell, take that all off. I can't say I have experienced many of them 2006 albums - but I'd put:
lostprophets' liberation transmission,
placebo's meds,
taking back sunday's louder now,
atreyu's a deathgrip on yesterday,
& idk what else hahaa.

The videos, I agree with the two first places (though I really like that kasabian song, I don't like its video); I however disagree with the muse one - the video has some weird, boring, uninteresting, ununderstandeable plot that makes the song seem even more excruciatingly long that it already is. My other three nominees would be:
lostprophets - a town called hypocrisy *points at sig, loolz*
hellogoodbye - here (in your arms)
placebo - meds.

& that's my view on this all.

um well i so don't like such reviews of the year in general.... i think they're all quite random... and what's their use?
so yeah.
but hahaha. koc on the vid top 5. that's great =D ... hahaha. i kinda love this vid, it's so stupid, that it's just loveable, i know it's not a good vid of artistic value or stuff but it's just hilarious, hahaha the irony, muse parody their very own pathos, and haha such an allusive vid ..
erm. yeah. actually, meh liek it <3 ... and not only because it's muse, as i don't like any other muse vids at all, they're boring ...

but. wth are my chemical romance and the artic monkeys doing on this list???

[Ikkerina]

I'd watch them all but I'm still stuck with internet limitations.
Where's Placebo's 'Meds' in the Best Album list?
Why 'Sugar We're Going Down'? 'Dance Dance' was like 100 times better. It even made its way into Belgian charts. And we're far from scene y'know.

And I stick with "what's the kooks doing on mtv2?"
They're pop for fucks sake.
