Do you remember any ?
Cathy Davey - Reuben
Linus Loves feat Sam Obernik - Stand Back (2003)
M&S presents The Girl Next Door - Salsoul Nugget (If U Wanna)
Stacie Orrico - More To Life ("Stuck" probably a better known tune)
Dutch fear Crystal Waters - My Time
Ok time for a break - yes I spent 2004 dreaming of being a wannabe Sugar FM or LiQuid DJ ;)
"If you wanna... that the road would be paved all smooth and nice."
Daniel Bedingfield - Gotta get thru this
Weekend Players
Into the Sun
21st Century
Luke Thomas - Automatic (one for the Freedom fans)
I like this, nice update of the Pointer Sisters classic!
U2 song that got a lot of airplay around spring 2005, haven't heard it in years.
The Bees - "Chicken Payback"
That bloody chicken, camel, donkey and monkey are very demanding, what did we ever do to them to have them want us to pay them back? 😂
Hoobastank - The Reason
You still hear that one from time to time.
Bit of research tells me that WP is Andy Cato from Groove Armada. Bit different from his stuff with that band!
The Bravery "Honest Mistake"
Winners of the BBC Sound of 2005 in January of that year, beating out Bloc Party, Kaiser Chiefs and KT Tunstall.
I remember this one! Always assumed it was DB Boulevard, but nope. Thanks for posting!
Moony sings on "Point of View".
Etienne de Crecy - "Scratched"
From the year 2000!
Boom! - Falling
Telepopmusik - Breathe
Don't remember this at all! Where did she ever get to? Thanks!
Had totally forgotten about this one, thanks!
Apologies all, I'm belatedly working my way through these. And there are some gems amongst them. Let me know if you'd rather not get replies to posts from months ago.
Surprised this wasn't more huge or enduring. A great tune.
As is this…
The Avalanches - "Since I Left You"
Planet Funk - "Chase the Sun"
From late 2000/early 2001 or so.
Played regularly at PDC darts events that are shown on Sky Sports.
And it's been sampled by Scooter:
The Shapeshifters - "New Day"
From 2007. Better remembered for "Lola's Theme" three years prior.
They actually had at least one UK top 75 single every year between 2004 and 2007, although this one didn't reach the top 40.
You could have a weekly two-hour music show featuring new music by acts that are still going even though they've been left behind mainstream pop radio.
