I'm gonna agree with Cassandra Geminni, which is an awesome song. However,I have no idea how all the lyric websites and forum discussions think it starts with Miranda B. All the lyrics for Cassandra Geminni seem to have the lyrics from Miranda B to the end of the album.

 

Edit: Oh, and I didn't mind any of the album "At the Soundless Dawn" from Red Sparowes.

my humps? MY HUMPS?! that song is shit (and not the shit) how can anyone stand that! it's utter crap! ugh...

 

anyway, i can't think of any good songs right now. but that is not one of them. it ranks up there with hollaback girl.

[Dan #2]

My favourite songs this year have been Coheed and Cambria's "Welocme Home" (though i don't like the album) and i fell in love with the Black Eyed Peas "Don't Phunk With My Heart."

[crazycanuck]

I agree. The leaked version was way better.

 

If they had kept the song the way it was, X&Y could have actually had one good song.

Haha, that's exactly what I was thinking when I saw the video to that one yesterday. Oh boy.

[Shortcut To Moncton]

the mars volta - cassandra geminni

There's the winner right there.

[deftpunk]

You're right, so many disappointing albums this year. Franz Ferdinand comes to mind really quick.

[HoboFactory]

"Spring" (Jump) - Rammstein
