How the FUCK do Bore Patrol qualify as a band of 2005 when they havent released anything? They were crap at the IOW festival, and all they did after that was support that prick bono and his travelling light show.

Well Ive got six out of the top fifty, including the top two, so I guess I'm 12% with it?! Half of them I havent a clue about, no i-tunes store out this way and broadband costs about eighty quid a month here so I stick to what I know!

What a crap list. No New Order aside there's no Fall, no Half Man Half Biscuit, no Wedding Present not to mention Misty's Big Adventure or Bearsuit. But the world's dullest band creep in at 19.

I stopped taking NME seriously a long time ago - look's like I was right to do so.
