Since my discovery that you could stream lots of different and random albums at NME.com, it has been my favourite website because I need music when I'm working and if I don't know the lyrics then it lessens the chance of my productivity being halved - not taking into account that if I have Radio 1 on, it is essentially halved anyway*. My album to work to last week was The Zutons Tired of Hanging Around, which is fantastic. I am excited that Colin and Edith have the whole album as their cd burner, and as they say, it's the kind of album where every song on it could be a single. This week I have discovered that you can now stream the Wolfmother album, which is an exciting discovery in itself. I don't think I'm as firmly on that bandwagon as I am on say, Lily Allen's but I wanted to listen to the album. And it's quite good. It's not really my kind of music but it grows on you. Plus Dimension isn't the best song on there, for anyone who'd been listening to Radio 1 drivetime last week where it was, rather hilariously, Joel's Record of the Week.
Anyway, apparently VH1 did a poll of the top five lyrics and came up with this:

1. U2 - One. "One life, with each other, sisters, brothers."

2. The Smiths - How Soon is Now? "So you go, and you stand on your own, and you leave on your own, and you go home, and you cry, and you want to die."

3. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit. "I feel stupid and contagious, here we are now, entertain us."

4. Bob Marley - Redemption Song. "Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery, none but ourselves can free our minds, have no fear for atomic energy, 'cause none of them can stop the time."

5. Coldplay - Yellow. "Look at the stars, look how they shine for you."

I don't agree with any of them I don't think, yet can't think of any that I would put in my top five. Since I've now hit my word count on 'the dreaded D', maybe that will be tomorrow's task. Or maybe it's just too hard, like Desert Island Discs.

Also can I just take this opportunity to say thank god the Radio 1 Breakfast Show team are back.


*I am quite glad that JK and Joel have stopped covering drivetime.
