Can you stick a "None of the above" button in there please?

No offence to Eddie, but I cannot stand The Feeling.

From that list I'd pick Lily Allen.

Oh, sorry I stand corrected, yes they are rubbish. What was I thinking of ! Which football team should I support Longview, and whilst your at it I am struggling with a favorite colour any chance you could tell me what I should feel on that front as well.

Thanks

As much as I like the Fratellis, surely that argument doesn't work as so does the Fratellis!

The poll question and the question above aren't the same thing. I like The Kooks album but I think Lily Allen has been the biggest breakthrough.

I don't really consider the Ordinary Boys ska. I thought they were ok till Preston went on bloody reality TV. I don't think it's fair to compare them to bands who have got there through talent and hard work, rather than reality TV. Other ska bands include Reel Big Fish and Less Than Jake.

I think The Fratellis, The Feeling and The Kooks have done really well this year.

Bad Manners are also another top ska band, Jesse James is an awesome London based Ska band.

and let's not forget Madness ARE actually still going... last album was called The Dangerman Sessions and I think they're on tour now. Shame and Scandal, the single off last year was OK.

I agree - I voted 'The Feeling' as having the biggest breakthrough - but I prefer Fall Out Boy!
