This album rocks. The lyrics are fun, catching and memorable. The songs stick with you and they are wonderfully mixed. Chad Kroeger sounds absolutely amazing. I love this album

Okay, it's that time of year. Because I'm impatient and I'll probably forget, I'm doing my Top Ten list now. Any really good albums that come out later this year, though their doesn't seem to be much, I will enter if I feel they are worthy.

Now, a recap...

And in the running for the 2005 Top Ten list are...

And number 1... goes to Don't Believe The Truth by Oasis

There you have it. This comes after I took all day listening to the different albums on my list, and realizing that the Kaiser Chiefs aren't really that great, that Paul McCartney is still the best musician on the planet, and that Oasis still is the best band in the world.

[Andy 60]

And number 1... goes to Don't Believe The Truth by Oasis

Never saw that one coming... :p

[Andy 60]

I'll tell you what, I'm no fan of McFly, but I'll give them one thing - they do know how to give a good performance.

[Alexander 0]

McFly!!!

[Uncle Du 22]

LMAO!! That's what I was thinking about. :rofl:

[Drake 53]

I was thinking about doing that...but was too lazy to actually get a picture. Or maybe that's not lazy enough? :p

[Alexander 0]

With Google's image search, there's no excuse for laziness.

[Uncle Du 22]

Sure there is! I'm lazy all the time! :D

[Andy 60]

I saw this album on iTunes aerlier that reminded me of Chickenman... It was calledd "Enter the Chicken" :p

[Alexander 0]

How perverted.

[GI_Admiral 2]

Definitely wouldn't want that :p

[Andy 60]

geez :p

[Aurelius 1]

Movies I won't be seeing:

Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire - Where do I start? I never really liked the whole idea of the books, and the movies I hear are changed from the book (some little or big things). Just another way to make money.

Doom - I'm sick of people trying to make extra money with stupid movie ideas, it's a game not a movie.

King Kong - I'm not sure about you guys, but I'm not paying to see a giant ape run around.

Flightplan - Is Hollywood running out of ideas? When I saw the trailer, It pretty much gave away the whole movie.

Legend of Zorro - Ok, the first was bad enough, do we really need a sequel?

Ok, I will add to my list in due time. All the movies coming out sound horrible. And to make matters worse the bloody tickets are expensive enough. </end rant

:nerves:

[Alexander 0]

The Harry Potter movies are actually pretty decent, and the third was surprisingly good. But you're right about the others, although I hear Flightplan was actually pretty good too.

[GI_Admiral 2]

w00t midnight showing!

[Tsl 7]

The HP movies are awesome. The books are better, of course. Actually, so far the HP movies have been way better about being faithful to the books than most movie adaptations. Like the piece of sith The Two Towers was, for example.

[Alexander 0]

The best book adaptation will always be Fight Club.

[Andy 60]

LIES!

[Alexander 0]

What would you argue is the best?

[Tsl 7]

Best in terms of movie turning out the best or best in terms of truest to the book or what?
