Some of these may not be in the singles chart, but they are all in the album chart currently: A RUSH OF BLOOD TO THE HEAD - COLDPLAY, METEORA - LINKIN PARK, COMFORT IN SOUND - FEEDER, THE EMINEM SHOW -EMINEM. ELEPHANT - WHITE STRIPES, ESCAPOLOGY - ROBBIE WILLIAMS. Of course this is all down to personal taste, but Ive got all of these, and I recommend them all, especially Feeder and Coldplay. Hope that helps

new Radiohead album out soon...save your pennies. mikewith - no comment required. your feelings towards the mighty 'Head are well known.

Blimey, I can't be the only person you know who hates Radiohead, can I? One of us needs to get more ;-)

Decent music in the charts... well, it's all subjective, isn't it... I love the White Stripes' Elephant... the Yeah Yeah Yeahs: overrated... the new Blur LP has had decent reviews... also in the album charts is Norah Jones, but as for the singles chart... I'm feeling my age but I haardly recognise any of the names.. best stick to a compilation like 'Now That's What I call Music' which brings together loads of hit singles I reckon.

I quite like Norah Jones and the Coral, my best buy in the last two years was Muse Origin of Symmetry though not quite top 40 I'm afraid, has anyone heard Placebo's new album?

I have to agree with wikewith, I dont think much of radiohead either. A couple of their songs are legendary, but other than that, quite monotonous and depressing.

It's not top 40 any more but get the Audioslave album. The Guitarist used to be in rage against the machine. He is considered to be one of the greatest all time guitarist. The other insrtuments are played quite well and all!!!

Re: Audioslave, er... *all three* of the muscians were in Rage and the singer is Chris Cornell, formerly of Soundgarden and it's a magnificent rock album - shades of Zep, Purple with modern stylings.

Gotta agree with Mkewith et al about the current singles charts, but then again, is it any wonder? You can't give value for money on your B-sides (unfair on people with no creativity or something), you go in at your highest position and then out the next week, if you've not got a major marketing campaign behind you, you don't chart... Sheesh! Okay, there's the odd surprise, such as the White Stripes, but then they've been declared the saviours of music by the alt press... All of which makes me think my method of paying naff all attention to the charts results in a more interesting record collection.

I also forgot to mention the rather hilarious Tenacious D, not in the Top 40 as far as I knew but jolly good all the same
