Aww that last reveal was a bit of a body blow for me - I’d thought having 12 in the Top 23 I was pretty safe for 10 in the Top 20 but alas!

 

Blur - obviously a hugely important Britpop band. Favourites “Beetlebum”, “Tender” and “The Universal”.

 

Arctics are extraordinary - who’d have thought when those spotty teenagers arrived that they would go on to produce music of that quality and depth? Favourites “505”, “Do I Wanna Know” and “Fluorescent Adolescent”.

 

And Muse - a 21st century band with a 19th century heart, and the classical influences really shine through. Boo at them just missing the Top 20 twice. :( Favourites are “Starlight”, “Time Is Running Out” and the Queen-esque “Madness”.

I've been away for ten days so I'm only just catching up with this thread and it looks like I've lost quite a few of my acts in that time - Bon Jovi, the Manics, 1D, Bananarama, Erasure & Blur. It's criminal that I didn't have enough space in my votes for Muse, such an incredible band, especially live.

 

My biggest surprise and delight though is to see Saint Etienne in the top 50 :D one of my favourite bands, I absolutely adore their brand of kitsch pop and their greatest hits is an essential listen for any pop fan. I'm a bit confused as to why I'm not listed as a voter though, Gezza are you sure I didn't vote for them? I'm not sure how I would have missed them, they were certainly at the forefront of my mind when I was doing my votes so if I didn't include them then that's an oversight on my part.

Nothing from you for them. Have sent your votes to you FYI :)

In other news only 2 new acts make the top 20 this time around and tomorrow we see the first act to attract 16 voters.

So, I lost 22 points today just before another voters chart announce. :(

Arctic Monkeys and Muse deserved top 20. Oh well, maybe next time.

Edited by Jason

That's a pretty savage last 3 revealed before the top 20. Didn't vote for Arctic Monkeys but would have been happy to see them in there. Blur are outstanding across 30 years and one of my favourite bands ever. And Muse used to be my favourite band ever bar none, though have dropped off considerably since album 5 (barring Drones).
Blur were the group I referred to yesterday as I thought they were coming up - I charted their comeback single 'The Narcissist' last year so gave them some points this time. A great singles band generally albeit my highlights from them are after Britpop's peak - 'Beetlebum' and 'Tender' are among my top songs of theirs too, but my favourite is 'Song 2' - which by a neat multi-coincidence got 222 points in the Buzzjack's Favourite No 2 of The 90s rate in 2022, the exact same score Blur have here!!
Muse have definitely past their best, but their back catalogue is the best kind of overly dramatic, concept-based rock. I've seen them live twice and they were absolutely incredible both times. Blur and Arctics also fantastic.

Some good songs from both Blur and AM

 

Muse, I absolutely love, one of the best bands I’ve ever seen live
