Sorry we lost. But I'm more concerned with the 'new look'. It's shit, imo. Stop trying to be trendy. :evil:

There's a quote by an American Football ( :? whatever that is) coach that sums it up.

"We didn't lose (the game); we just ran out of time."

I thought time was something they never ran out of in American football. Their games run on for hours... :-;

:( Bad luck everyone. I suppose we couldn't hope to defeat the combined force of several forums. Might pop over to congratulate James ...... :-;

Thanks for being such good sports everyone ^_^ :D

It was good to be up against you guys in the final round.
And not people that cry foul.

-_-' Coldplay's official site was asking for votes, no wonder they nearly beat us.

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm................ No.

We might just lose if we had a rematch
And we're on such a high from winning.
Especially that little part of everyone that goes
"we put in that much effort for a radio station that barely anyone likes?"

Absolute Radio have done very well out of all this haven't they? I wonder if their audience figures grew significantly because of it? Must find out.

I started to listen again via the t'interweb so I'm pretty sure this little comp gave them a ratings rise. Would'nt be suprised if they do it again.

Now that it's all over may I ask who exactly considers "Paranoid", "Sultans of Swing" and "Solsbury Hill" three of the best songs of all-time? They're decent songs, I suppose, but are they really on par with the best of Pink Floyd?

And "Hotel California" and "Stairway to Heaven" have been played to death to the point where I refuse to listen to either one when they show up on the radio.

I'm surprised the playlist made it to the final round. I still voted for us like a good trooper, though.

It wasn't necessarily a list of the best songs in the world. More an airtime-friendly playlist to win the competition! I think.

Some of it was terribly predictable and shit though!!! :lol:
