And HMV's biggest selling album of the year was......

[CHAPPERS]

Keane - Hopes and Fears??




How's that work?



Seriously, there have been so many better albums out this year than that piece of arse. Guess who came second, go on go on.

That's right, Robbie f***ing Williams and his 'Greatest' Hits.


What is the world coming to?

 

[Marshy]

Bit harsh Chappers. I think its a good album.

 

[Zebedee]

Me too.

The quality of the songs is first rate.

 

[Bald Gull]

Reckon it's the best album i bought this year... (but my music taste has constantly been questioned)

 

[Trufflehound]

Since when has "biggest selling" record had any connection to whether it was any or good or not? If that were true we'd all have to confess to liking Westlife and the Spice Girls.

You're not wrong there, I just thought there were a lot better albums out this year. I suppose Keane are pretty inoffensive though so would be expected to shift a few copies.

 

[Northstander]

Johhny Cash and Dolly Parton have sold thousands and that c&w stuff is crap!! (to my ears anyhow)

 

[alan partridge]

Better Keane than Robbie WIlliams

In fact better Keane than a lot of bands. I think that album is excellent.

I thought the Keane album was ok certainly not the best this year but at least it kept that C*nt Williams form being the best seller.

 

[Marc]

Keane are f***ing shit

 

[keaton]

It shows how boring this country's music taste has become that they go and buy such safe,soulless shite.
Music's actually supposed to make care and feel something, i really can't believ anyone could feel passionately towards that band

 

[alan partridge]

why are they soulless? what's your definition of soulful music?

 

[Simster]

Keane are f***ing shit

Wouldn't go that far but it is a VERY disappointing album. I'm fed up with that Travis/Keane/etc durge.

All very dull.

 

[REDLAND]

Keane are f***ing shit

Middle of the road unoffensive no passion no angst RUBBISH !!

 

[Pavilionaire]

Keane WAS the best album of the year. AND they're Sussex to boot.

 

[The Auditor]

Middle of the road unoffensive no passion no angst RUBBISH !!

yep ....bring back those punky days of the late 1970s

 

[Marshy]

Whatever floats your boat, a couple of there tracks make the hairs on my neck stand up so it makes me feel something !
There arent many tracks that make me do that.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Personally I feel abslutely NOTHING when listening to Keane, there is very little substance to it.

For fucks sake Travis are not dull dirge music they are upbeat and happy

 

[CHAPPERS]

Travis' first album was excellent.
