Posted March 28, 20169 yr http://i24.photobucket.com/albums/c32/tonyttt31/TRAX.png Due to popular demand, ie Doctor Blind and Dandy*, I will be doing a similar countdown of singles/tracks that have defined our 10 years together. Similar rules to the albums. 1 Please post your 50 favorite indie/alternative tracks of Buzzjack's Lifetime in this thread 2 The tracks must have been released or must have been taken from an album released between 1st Jan 2006 and 27 March 2016. 3 They must be indie/alt in nature, ie be appropriate for this forum - no Daft Punk or Amy this time either :( 4 Please post them in order from 1 to 50 so I can allocate points. 5 I will do a countdown of the results, the size of which will depend on contributions 6 Voting closes Wed 6th April 23:59. 7 Please use this format - two digits, space, artist, - , track title. eg 01 Muse - Uprising 8 And because some of us are getting forgetful in our old age I've compiled a list of artists taken from NMEs year end lists to jog your memories. It's also a good idea to read each other's lists for inspiration. Any other questions, please ask. ************************************** Active Child Ali Love Alt-J Alvvays Amazing Baby Angel Haze Animal Collective Anna Calvi Antlers Antony and the Johnsons Arcade Fire Arctic Monkeys Ariel Pink Austra Avi Buffalo Azari & III Bat For Lashes Battles Be Your Own Pet Best Coast Biffy Clyro Björk Black Kids Black Lips Bloc Party Blur Bombay Bicylce Club Bon Iver Burial Burns Caribou Cat Power Chairlift Cherry Glazerr Cherry Ghost Chew Lips Childhood Chvrches Cold Cave Cold War Kids Coldplay Courtney Barnett Crocodiles Crystal Castles CSS Damon Albarn Dan Sartain Dananananaykroyd Darwin Deez David Bowie Deap Vally Death From Above 1979 Dirty Projectors Django Django Does It Offend You, Yeah?

March 28, 20169 yr Ok, this is probably a waste of my time since nobody else seems to like what I do, but here goes. My 50 most listened to tracks on Last.FM that were released in the last 10 years. 03 f*** Buttons - Olympians Not necessarily, “Olympians” was in my Top 100 of the decade (2010s) which I published in September 2013 - hopefully I can support a few others you've listed. : )
March 28, 20169 yr Not necessarily, “Olympians” was in my Top 100 of the decade (2010s) which I published in September 2013 - hopefully I can support a few others you've listed. : ) And it's #4 on mine! You should post your list asap and then we can close this. It's sodding tremendous and well worthy of winning.
March 28, 20169 yr Author the list doesn't even have iamamiwhoami so it's like invalid entirely~ iamamiwhoami is valid. The list is not the definition of what is valid. It is merely a list to prompt inspiration. And now people will be inspired by your mentioning amamiwhoami which is great. :D
