October 19, 20204 yr A diverse selection of (mostly very good) groups today! A diverse selection of unknown groups for me (apart from East 17). :lol: Edited October 19, 20204 yr by Jason
October 19, 20204 yr Seriously - I was the ONLY ONE to vote for East 17? They had some absolute bops back in the day, I'm astounded (and quite saddened) that no one else voted for them :(
October 19, 20204 yr I don't think I know any songs from them besides the obvious one. Oop ~ I always thought they were better than 90s Take That ('Back For Good' aside).
October 20, 20204 yr The Long Blondes were the perfect mid 2000s indie act, both of their albums are brilliant and unlike many acts of that time, sounded completely different. A sad end to them but it did leave them with a perfect discography. Ash had some fine singles in the 90s and early 00s, Free All Angels is a brilliant album I loved as an early teenager and still do, still released some good songs since and I enjoyed their A-Z series about a decade ago. They're another act I've voted for who's biggest hit is a bit meh, never really enjoyed Goldfinger like I do a lot of others Guillemots wouldn't have been far from my votes. Through The Windowpane is incredible but they were pretty ropey after that.
October 20, 20204 yr I did like a bunch of East 17 songs (House of love, Thunder, Stay Another Day) but I wouldn't even put them in why top 100 bands Ash I really liked and I own 3 albums, I think the quality of their music went a bit downhill with the A-Z project (too many songs without quality control) but they have lots of great songs: Girl from Mars, Oh Yeah, Walking Barefoot, Candy, Shining Light, Evil Eye, Burn Baby Burn, Sometimes, A Life less Ordinary...

Add Envy, Meltdown and Orpheus and you've basically got all the best Ash songs right there B-) I've seen them live a couple of times and they're amazing!

October 20, 20204 yr Love how this thread is full of us all going "I can't believe I'm the only one who voted for <insert band name here>" :lol:
October 20, 20204 yr Well, don't include me in this. I can't believe I'm NOT the only one who voted for the group I gave 15 points. I can't wait to discover who's the other 'crazy' Buzzjack member. :P Edited October 20, 20204 yr by Jason
October 21, 20204 yr I suspect there's another mid 00s indie band I'll be the only person to have voted for, but I'd like to think everyone else I've given 18+ points to had multiple voters
October 21, 20204 yr I suspect there's another mid 00s indie band I'll be the only person to have voted for, but I'd like to think everyone else I've given 18+ points to had multiple voters I've still got another 00s indie band to come too, so maybe it's the same one?
October 21, 20204 yr I've still got another 00s indie band to come too, so maybe it's the same one? Oh 5 of my top 10 I'd define as that, there's just one where I'd not expect anyone else to have voted for them too.
