Hoppipolla was quite big at the time, it had 2 chart runs, first peaking at #35 in late 2005 and then it re-entered a few months later in 2006 and peaked at #24 then

 

of course years later Chicane did a dance cover and called it Poppiholla and that went top 10

I could never get into Sigur Rós, they were just that bit too alternative for me. I'm obviously not cultured enough to get them :)

 

The Libertines had some good tunes, all my mates were massively into them at the time, but I never thought they lived up to their hype.

I love Sigur Ros - music to zone out to - they were my #30

BIGGEST UK HIT: SAY WHAT YOU WANT (#3, 1997)

 

Texas were my number 31 choice !!!

OMG! Since Gezza started the top 100 countdown, I'm losing 1 group every day. :drama:

By the way, I thought I would be the only one to vote for The Vamps. So, I'm pleased to see them in the top 100.

I think me and Michaelking21 have similar music taste. It's not the first time we vote for the same group. :lol:

 

And that is on having phenomenal taste.

I had a mate who was a massive Bloc Party fan but I never liked them very much. Their songs just seemed so...forgettable?

 

Glad Texas got a few votes :) I actually had their Greatest Hits on the other day, a very pleasant listen!

Goldfrapp and Bloc Party are both great, particularly with their earlier albums.

 

Texas are okay but I don't really like anything more than an "I wouldn't turn it off" kinda level. They're a perfect greatest hits only act for me.

I used to like a bit of Texas when I was very young. I used to think they were singing "my Bjorn Borg" rather than "black eyed boy". :lol:

Someone will lose their 30 pointer on Friday............

Goldfrapp were my #29 :cheer:

Someone will lose their 30 pointer on Friday............

I can imagine it won't be too much longer before I do :(

 

Pleasantly surprised how many indie/alt groups have made it this far! Hope it's a sign of what might be finishing high, rather than them all being eliminated in one stretch... anyway my 20-pointer has at least two other voters :cheer:

Cremey & I losing a lot together at the moment :lol:

 

Bloc Party's output after their third album is pretty much all awful but those first two are incredible, but again two acts I've voted for with their highest charting songs (The Prayer and Ooh La La) not really anywhere near my favourite of theirs.

Onerepublic and Bee Gees. Love both.

i can't believe Bee Gees are so low, they're one of the greatest groups in history....

i'm so gutted i forgot to vote for Goldfrapp, they would have been in my top 15 for sure....

Yes Bjork having some taste !!!

 

I guess some people think Sade is a solo star.

If I stop to think about it, I know that Sade is a group but off the top of my head I'd probably forget and assume she's a solo artist.

 

OneRepublic have released some great songs but I always felt like Ryan Tedder wrote better songs for other people.

 

I know I didn't vote for them but I definitely thought the Bee Gees would finish higher than that!

Bee Gees deserved much more on here but this is Buzzjack and I'm not surprised at all. -_-

My fave of theirs is You Win Again, I think it has aged very well.
