I love snow patrol. They have some amazing songs.

I hate Depeche Mode. I don't know why they have become so successful and loved in Germany.. but not one single song I know by them that I would call great.

by **FreakyFlyBry** » Sat Mar 10, 2012 4:00 pm

All three have good songs here and there... Sweet was one of the best of the glam rock days (had no idea you liked them THAT much!), Snow Patrol among the best of 00's Britpop (especially the modern classic "Chasing Cars"), and Depeche Mode are synth-rock royalty, among those bands who have stayed good throughout their entire career

by **CrazyCrazy** » Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:07 pm

The Sweet!?

Wow I remember seeing them on TOTP2, my mum used to like them!

Will check them.

I've been getting into DM recently and Snow Patrol do have a few really good songs.

by **NothingFails** » Sat Mar 10, 2012 7:22 pm

woo for Depeche and Pet Shop Boys, two 80s bands who continue to make great music to this day

by **stevyy** » Sat Mar 10, 2012 7:45 pm

I love Savage Garden. They were really amazing.

by **toni_pest** » Sat Mar 10, 2012 8:35 pm

Depeche Mode are great, one of my favorite bands of all time.
Snow Patrol and James Blunt are okay, not a big fan but I enjoyed some of their work.
I LOVE Savage Garden. To the Moon and Back is one of my favorite songs ever!

by **FreakyFlyBry** » Sat Mar 10, 2012 8:50 pm

Pet Shop Boys are another great 80's synthpop band that's continued to have good music since as well

Savage Garden was fantastic too, and Darren Hayes has had a few good solo songs too

James Blunt for me started out quite good, but has kinda lacked since.

aww, the my queen at #22. Mariah is an ultimate legend.

I loved The Backstreet Boys back in the day too.

by **vinnie65** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 11:19 am

Sweet was one of my first favorite bands back in the 70s. Depeche Mode and Pet Shop Boys are bands from the 80s that I still love to hear. Savage Garden and Snow Patrol are very great, too. It´s sad that Savage Garden have separated early, but it´s good that Darren Hayes still making great music. Mariah Carey is an amazing artist with one of the best voices, but I prefer other female artists.

by **Tiger** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 4:22 pm

22. Mariah Carey
23. Backstreet Boys

I join in the:oops:

by **FreakyFlyBry** » Sun Mar 11, 2012 5:08 pm

America had lots of good songs in the 70's

I must admit, I really like the Backstreet Boys as well... just good pop music all around, especially late 90's-early 00's era.

Mariah Carey was brilliant in the 90's, hit or miss in the 00's.
