Thanks for the noms guys. I've changed the format from a rate to a chart. Changes explained in the rules.

That's a relief, I've been liking pretty much everything that's been nominated so a rate from me would have been a blur of 7-9's with little outliers :lol:

I will get my nominations in at some point, although from the looks of it a lot of the songs that I would have nominated have already made the cut.

 

Wasn't Mr E's Beautiful Blues by Eels released in 2000, rather than the 90s?

Well, it turns out there were a lot of songs that I loved from the 90s that hadn't been nominated yet, and it was hard to whittle them down to 30, so I've limited myself to 1 per artist, and here's what I've come up with -

 

Mighty Mighty Bosstones – The Impression That I Get

Reel Big Fish – Sell Out

Air – Kelly Watch The Stars

Apollo 440 – Stop The Rock

Beastie Boys – Sabotage

Catatonia – Road Rage

Daisy Chainsaw – Love Your Money

Divine Comedy – National Express

Eels – Last Stop: This Town

Elastica – Stutter

Electrasy – Morning Afterglow

Faith No More – Midlife Crisis

Garbage – Stupid Girl

Gay Dad – Joy!

Geneva – Tranquilizer

Kula Shaker - Tattva

Lightning Seeds – Marvellous

Menswear – DayDreamer

My Life Story – 12 Reasons Why I Love Her

Neutral Milk Hotel – Holland, 1945

The Orb – Toxygene

Primal Scream – Movin’ On Up

Rocket From The Crypt – On A Rope

Sleeper – Inbetweener

Stone Roses – Waterfall

Stroke 9 – Washin’ and Wonderin’

Suede – Filmstar

Sugar – If I Can’t Change Your Mind

Teenage Fanclub – Sparky’s Dream

Third Eye Blind – Semi-Charmed Life

 

Most of my own picks have already been nominated, though I've noticed these omissions:

 

Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger

Oasis - Some Might Say

Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Under the Bridge

Green Day - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)

U2 - One

Goo Goo Dolls - Iris (if this counts)

Chumbawumba - Tubthumping (likewise)

Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench

 

Sorry, super mainstream :kink: If I think of more, I'll add later.

Hmmm, I'd say that when there's so many entries a rate will be more representative as far too many songs will get lost if you're only picking 50 out of 300+, it's just whether people will bother. Though I'd say rating each song out of 10 isn't any more difficult than whittling the massive list down to 50 and then ranking them! If you're using Excel it'd only take about 2 minutes to copy and paste a long rate into it, so no more work to calculate the scores. Just need to make sure people are consistent and everyone's rates are like this:

 

1 Oasis - Don't Look Back in Anger

2 Oasis - Some Might Say

3 Red Hot Chilli Peppers - Under the Bridge

4 Green Day - Good Riddance (Time of Your Life)

5 U2 - One

6 Goo Goo Dolls - Iris (if this counts)

7 Chumbawumba - Tubthumping (likewise)

8 Foo Fighters - Monkey Wrench

Great to see Chapterhouse, Daisy Chainsaw and Sugar nominated - I had to eliminate them from my long list.

I agree that it's easier for me to calculate a rate but there's gonna be hundreds of songs to rate.

 

Perhaps 50 isn't enough to put into a chart - would 100 be better? A second reason I think a chart is better is because of the average type song that no one really dislikes doing far better because it gets a huge amount of 5s and 6s where as much fewer would place it in the Top 100 from the 90s.

That doesn't count and I would be pushed to consider U2's One to be alternative but I will let it pass as we let The Fly in. However, The Fly is certainly alternative because of it's structure and over all production.
