Mostly new cd's that are not too obscure I get from play.com simply because £8.99 and free delivery you can't beat.
I use Amazon for more obscure stuff and on their Amazon marketplace you can get some real bargains.
I never buy downloads because in the UK they are too overpriced. Why pay almost as much as a CD for a 128kps rip with no artwork?
The only time I'd buy a download is if it's a b-side to a single not on an album or an exclusive track.

I should think that Radiohead are way uncool to NME readers (average age 15 I should think), now if this had been a Q magazine poll...

I don't agree about The Libertines, I think Doherty is a waste of space, but I agree about the NME being a big steaming pile of cack these days.
I've not seen the entire list but I think Teenage Fanclub should be on it (see my avatar). One of the finest british bands ever in IMO and they are still going, releasing a great album last year.

The Stone Roses have to be one of the most overrated bands in history.
The first album is pretty good, but the second one is shite. AND it took 5 years to get them to make it!

I really don't get how they are so fawned over in this country (UK).  Maybe, it's a 'right time, right place' kind of thing, same with Oasis and the new darlings Arctic Monkeys.  we really do like to over-hype our bands in Britain!

Not only is New Adventures in Hi-fi underrated I also think REM's last one 'Around the Sun' was unfairly reviewed when it was released. I think it's a fine album.
I think most of REM's output since 'Automatic for the people' has been a little overlooked, especially the ones released after Bill Berry left. I think they are all great albums, with New Adventures the pick of the bunch for me.

I thought 'Backbeat' was pretty good. Although technically it was really about Stuart Sutcliffe rather than the beatles.
There's also some dodgy accents in there though...

oh, no!!!! I've missed Brian!! Did I miss Brian??? His he around??I've got a question!! This is sooo cool Brian is here???
He's gone? Merda! Is Melinda still around?
