I remember last year we had a small campaign on here to support Rage Against The Machine vs. The X Factor ...

Ive just heard the midweek charts, and X Factor is at number one, first time Id heard the cover of Biffy Clyro .... man its bad :( No passion, no feeling, completely sanitised.)

Seems the most likely alternative is The Trashmen and Surfing Bird :mrgreen: . I reckon it would make an excellent festive hit.

Are you guys downloading it, and spreading the word? Go on .... :lol:
 
Scott Mills on Radio 1 is pushing for this song (think he actually started the whole thing off) although there is also a song(?) thats 4 minutes of silence :lol:
 
Much as though I would like to join in this campaign, as a family guy watcher, the surfing bird tune has found its way into my head far too many times already :lol: (they seem to show that episode every other week)

I agree x factor is bollox though, and it makes it completely unfair for artists that havent had 4 months of free tv advertising running up to the chrimbo no1, so I think I may go for the 4 minutes of silence :lol:
 
That biffy cover is ok but thats just it, it will never be as good as the og one and it will soon be another decent tune like jeff buckleys halle hooya "or how ever the hell you spell it!"that x factor has killed for me. Im off to see Kings o Leon live tommorow to get my decent music feast 8)
 
though at least for those forced to watch the program Rihanna and Christina did there best to make at least 10 minutes of it relatively painless

I was forced to watch it, and I can confirm christina did make it much more enjoyable... ;)

For my daughter, I went to the X Factors losers Gig at Vanfest this year.

3 of the acts each covered 'Sex On Fire'. Ruined. :(

I think the 4 mins of silence track is about no. 20 in the midweeks, so no chance of making the top ...
