Is actually a great placing! :cheer:

although i want to see the full list first before making up my mind if i agree or not, no.33 is not bad at all :D

 

do you guys think that they might appear in the chart again? cos imo ATTTID is more of an 'anthem' than Mr Brightside..

Very good.

unfortunately only Mr Brightside is in the list :mellow:

And how many times is Oasis! :o I definitely couldn't expect that. :blink:

never mind oasis, what about the libertines?! 4 songs in the list, 3 of which in the top 20 :blink:

That list is quite c**p, in my opinion. The Libertines twice into the Top 10?? WTF?!?!?! Why there's no The Clash?? And Joy Division is way too low... I'm disappointed. I was expecting "Somebody Told Me" or "All These Things That I've Done" to chart there.
