Oh Disclosure :o yeah I must admit that they didn’t really come into my head for a group! Well... at least they weren’t totally snubbed then :kink: ‘Settle’ is an excellent dance album and I find ‘Caracal’ a bit underrated, another good’un.

Disclosure were definitely a consideration of mine, but probably a good 15-20 away from reaching my votes. Looking forward to following this, I suspect there will be a few where I'm the only voter, the first one having 3/4 points (depending on whether Gezza accepted a somewhat sneaky nomination of mine)
Joy Division and Leftfield weren't far away from my nominations, glad they made it in at least. I hadn't realised Antony & The Johnsons had made the Top 40 and I thought Blackpink would be higher. I expect one of my nominations will be out next.
Ah, Disclosure & Joy Division are fair shouts, alas I ran out of room in my vote too quickly.

Wow so many gone straight away.

 

My poor 1 pointer The Darkness

I thought someone else would have voted for Cage the Elephant.... they are so underrated, their music is timeless...

my poor 1 pointer Antony & The Johnsons, one of the most talented and underrated UK artists ever

Hope There's Someone is such a lost classic!

If the groups on 1 point were 281st, shouldn't the groups with 2 points be 275th, not 276th as there are six of them?

Quite right- altered.

The title of Brand New's one UK top 40 hit is kind of prophetic in retrospect.

According to polyhex, they actually had two UK top 40 hits (although I presume your comment refers to 'Glory Fades' :lol:)

*highest charting UK top 40 hit, whoops (I clearly didn't read the line above that in Gezza's post and just guessed from the fact it peaked at #37 that it was their only one :kink:)

 

That said, their other top 40 hit is called 'The Quiet Things That No One Ever Knows' which... is kind of also an aged like milk title :lol:

I'm not surprised no one else voted for Inspiral Carpets @ Housemartins.

Whatever, This is How it feels by Inspiral and Housemartins rendition of Caravan of Love are both masterpieces imo. :D

'This Is How It Feels' is hands down one of the indie anthems of the 90s B-)

Good shout for Kraftwerk.
