Awww - with Aqua gone, that’s 4 of my 5 New Entries so far that no one else has voted for. Two more to go higher up, so we will see, but at least I’m still waiting for my 6-point New Entry to come.

 

My favourite of the others from this list would be Chainsmokers. But - I’ve just realised that I’ve not ranked any artists whose debut albums were released after 2002, other than girl groups.

Pixies with a big fall :nocheer: they got my 20 points last time. The Jam had my vote but no others last time, so I'm happy to see them back again (remaining groups in that bracket are The Clash, The Beach Boys and The Pogues - I think two of them could appear). Glasvegas are a great addition, love both their Top 40 hits.

Only 1 votee for Aqua is a surprise!

Love Barbie Girl!! Shocked no one else voted for Toto.

'A Town Called Malice is of course a great record but not too familiar with other The Jam tracks really.

 

Lindisfarne are great from what I know by them, 'Run For Home' is particularly good.

 

Aqua have a lot of pop gems and nostalgia from their first era.

 

Also surprised Toto only have one voter actually. Love both 'Africa' and 'Hold The Line' :wub:

Hold the Line is my fave from them too! :wub:

Some great bands in there. Nice to see Glasvegas, The Jam, The Pixies up there.

 

Disappointed to be the only voter for Lindisfarne - hope they'd be a bit higher. So many great songs.

Aqua I still enjoy and wish I gave them votes now.

Quite shocked that Pixies were as high as #65 before but equally mildly surprised to see them only get the one voter this time. I can't pretend to know much of their discog but 'Where Is My Mind?' is a classic x

 

Nice shouts for The Avalanches and Glasvegas there, and also Levellers and Lindisfarne from what I know from them (which is also not a lot).

Poor Chainsmokers so low here! I gave them 3 points last time but zero this time.

Unpopular opinion but I still love #SELFIE and their single featuring 5 Seconds Of Summer Who Do You Love :D

Genuinely shocked at the lack of love for Pixies. Doolittle is one of the best albums of the 80s.

 

Also glad to see The Jam in there and that first Glasvegas album is pretty great

So many good shouts in the last two days. Glasvegas got big points from me on the basis of that superb first album. Shed Seven, Avalanches, Levellers also all have songs that are really nostalgic for me but not quite enough to make my votes.

Glad to see support for Aqua. They got me through depression during my university days. Their debut album was beautiful and joyful - and had 3 number 1 singles. Their 2nd album was also brilliant - and anyone with two amazing albums was considered for my list of 30.

 

And Toto: yes - I love ‘Hold The Line’ too.

Aqua I still enjoy and wish I gave them votes now.

 

Yeah I can’t can’t believe I overlooked/forgot them. Should’ve definitely given them points.

I didn't think of putting Toto on my list, I love Africa.

Poor Chainsmokers so low here! I gave them 3 points last time but zero this time.

Unpopular opinion but I still love #SELFIE and their single featuring 5 Seconds Of Summer Who Do You Love :D

Another #SELFIE fan here (unpopular indeed, we might be the only two x)

 

The Jam not dropping too many positions since the last ranking despite far more voters this time. :o

Oh no! So sad to see no-one else voted for All About Eve. Martha’s Harbour is one of my all time favourite tracks - and they had many great songs across their first few albums. I didn’t vote at all last time, but AAE gained 29 points, so I assumed they’d still pick up points.

Faithless is a good shout!
