Did anyone follow today's controversial choices. It seems to have caused a kerfuffle on FB and R5.
Coldplay were number one.
Keane were number two.
Later we were invited to choose the one album they omitted.

I think the biggest controversy is that Coldplay and Keane actually featured in the 100.

That's what they are saying, and Duran Duran and that Dildo one were in the top ten.

Oh yes, I do agree to a point. But there are many bands I like which were formed ion the last 15 years.

Well it is radio 2! I have "A Rush of Blood to the Head" and think it's a good album in the sense that I can stick on a CD player and play it all the way through and enjoy every track. A solid album. Anything that gets me fired up with a passion for music, anything that breaks new ground (in my mind), anything that is just brilliant music - absolutely not. An album of solid 7s when I'd much prefer a patchy album with just one 10!

They're like James really, but much less interesting

I don't mind Coldplay actually. "Fix You" is a pretty special song for me.

Rush of Blood to the head is my favourite Coldplay CD

But the best ever?

I love Fix You - it's a beautiful song.

I really like Coldplay TBH - I'm not a music buff but I like what I like.

It seems that every time these questions are asked, that we move forward a decade. Works that have been feted are no longer mentioned. This last chart seems to be full of inoffensive pap. Though to be fair at the end if the day it 's all optional entertainment. I'm not going to get upset because my top 100 aren't there! They are all on my iPod and I can listen anytime I want.

Very true - I'm going through some 'old' stuff on you tube at the moment. These top 100's - all a bit daft - we all have our own top 100's and one things 100% certain ..........they're better than anyone else's cos they're ours.

RAWKY - this is beautiful, life affirming song

Keep your head up - keep your heart strong

Wonderful song and wonderful sentiments

"It felt so good to see his face,

To feel the warmth of his smile,

When he said, "I'm happy to have you home."
