How was the gig Phil seen your pic on FB your Liv looked like she enjoyed it.

No way have busted n mcfly merged?

Their DNA has been spliced together and their are further clones on the way including a gay Scottish boy band called McFisted.

They were fucking SUPERB. And I mean, different class. What a great night!!

"Star Girl" is probably THE best pop song of the last decade. Discuss!

I was going to say cant get you out of my head but that was 2001.

Since you been gone Kelly Clarkson

However I always hear this version of the song when thinking about it:

Not sure about that if you include huge swathes of hip hopand R&B derived pop but they're better than most of the Britpop bands, similar retro indie rock thing but with better tunes and choruses.

Must admit I enjoy the guitar riff to 5 Colours in her Hair

Fightstar are not that bad either (Charlie from Busted)

You had me at air hostess Elvisc

I like McFly and Busted. Always remember taking the girls to see Busted and they did "Ready Steady Go" by Generation X and "2468 Motorway" for the encores!

They were top notch last night like, really powerful energy-filled pop, I knew every single song (Dad of two teenage girls growing up in the 2000's!), and they've come on as musicians big style. Cracking atmosphere and Our Liv was buzzing. I must say, fair play to the Metro Arena, the wheelchair seats/access/facilities etc were cock-on.

Its easy to becynical about these lads, but honestly, they were cracking!

I went to see Peter Kay with my dad there and have to agree very good facilities.

Also had no idea they had joined together. Every member in it? They got two drummers now? Or did Busted never have one?

Everyone except Charlie from Busted, who does his Fightstar thing.
Only Harry Judd from McFly on Drums, but interestingly TWO Bass Players.

Honestly, I expected a decent night but it was spot-on. We are loads better at this Pop-Teen Punk stuff than the Yanks!

I didn't realise until last night just how huge both bands were, there were 8 UK Number One Singles in that set-list. I was up like a daft lad, singing at the top of me voice. Musics a serious business and I love a LOT of different stuff but theres nowt better than out-and-out good time Guitar pop.

Can't decide between The Smithereens "Behind The Wall Of Sleep" and Puressence "Street Lights" as the best pop song of the last 30 years.

Or The Flamin'Groovies "Shake Some Action".

Forty years for "Shake Some Action" like!! Great song. Loved The Smithereens. Often play stuff like The Records, Nick Lowe, Flamin Groovies etc..proper Guitar Pop. Unbeatable.

And Madness were/are a shitty teen pop band?!?!

Realised it was that long ago just after I posted, just made me feel ten years older ! Just started listening to some Flamin'Groovies stuff again, love their version of Louie Louie, the two minute intro is brilliant.
