THE HORMONAL TENSION FROM THIS THREAD IS UNIMAGINABLE.

 

I THINK SOME PEOPLE SHOULD HELP WITH THEIR MENOPAUSAL HOT FLUSHES WITH SOME H.R.T. INNIT.

*SENDS EVILS IN CASS'S GENERAL DIRECTION*

101 Battles - Atlas

 

 

I would advise that everybody who reads this thread watches the youtube video. This little masterpiece goes over the head of 90% of people seemingly but it's one of those songs I have genuine admiration for. With all the blip-blop beats and intertwined synthesised vocals it makes a superb song. I really couldn't think of a better way to open the chart.

 

ENJOY.

The Battles album is inside my top 5 of the year

 

WONDERFUL STOOF <3

 

pow yay

I love this thread :lol: Personally I think Cass and Ash should GET IT ON. The results would be interesting :heart:

I think that is possibly the most weird "indie" song I've ever heard in my whole entire life.

 

It sounded more like DJ Cammy than anything else.

I must say what an awful start to your chart... -_-

100 || Junior Jack - Dare Me [stupidisco] [2007 Re-Issue]

99 || Larrikin Love - Well, Love Does Furnish A Life

98 || Cold War Kids - Hang Me Up To Dry

97 || LCD Soundsystem North American Scum

96 || The Good, The Bad & The Queen - Kingdom Of Doom

 

So we kick off the top 100 with those songs just simmering on the verge of greatness, but not quite achieving it. We have the same old dance tune from Junior Jack with the 2007 stamp on it & a crazy little indie number from the now no-longer-in-existance Larrikin Love, in which they tell a story of it being a "day in the life of you". Lovely. Further up the top 100 we have the Cold War Kids with my personal favourite of theirs, often labeled a tad dull but HMUTD is really quite catchy in a droning, generic guitar hit sort of way. LCD Soundsystem also appear, North American Scum only further exemplifying what is an amazing back-catalogue of faux-electro songs. And The Good, The Bad & The Queen also feature at #96. But nobody really cares about them seemingly...

Stupidisco

It was always on the verge of being a classic, but in the end it ended up being 'good'. :mellow:

 

Hang Me Up To Dry

NOW HANG ME UP TO DRY. YOU RUNG ME OUT TO, TO, TO MANY TIMES Classic Cass. (L)

99 and 96 are very very good songs IMO but i dont like the others to much

Brilliant. mmm.

 

North American Scum was good, but the two singles that followed more so - especially 'All My Friends' (Is that still on the way?).

I actually have no idea. I should really follow LCDS more than I do..

95 || Pigeon Detectives - The Romantic Type

94 || +44 - When Your Heart Stops Beating

93 || Peter Bjorn & John - Young Folks

92 || The Knife - Marble House

91 || Tiny Dancers - I Will Wait For You

 

And in the next batch we have five acts that all seem to bubble under the surface somewhat. We have soon-to-be-massive Pigeon Detectives with their indie jingle "Romantic Type" up first; the only Pigeon's song to actually make the chart. All the other singles have been nice enough but it's all too samey. +44 also rear their head suprisingly enough, along with Peter, Bjorn & John with their WE GOT RADIO ONE A-LISTED AND WHISTLE THROUGHOUT A SONG hit "Young Folks". Splendid. The Knife also appear for the first time on the chart, should be higher really. Would've been if I'd have given it the respect it deserved upon its initial release. Tiny Dancers make up the last song in the top 90, but they're just a generic pop band trying to be indie really.

I only know/like the Junior Jack song so far :(
'Romantic Type' is by far and away one of the best from the Pidgeon Detectives album IMO. ^_^ And I LOVE Tiny Dancers. :o 'I Will Wait For You' is a great single as is 'Hannah We Know'. :o Any chance of that being later on? ^_^

Going down in 10s now otherwise it'll never get done..

 

90 || Gallows - Abandon Ship

89 || McFly - Transylvania

88 || James Morrison - Undiscovered

87 || MIA - Paper Planes

86 || Groove Armada & Mutya Buena - Song 4 Mutya [Out Of Control]

85 || CSS - Off The Hook

84 || Justice - Waters Of Nazareth

83 || Hoosiers - Goodbye Mr A

82 || Pull Tiger Tail - Let's Lightning

81 || Billy Talent - Fallen Leaves

 

A fairly commercial bunch of songs in this lot; chart-pleasers McFly, James Morrison, Mutya & Hoosiers all get respectable positions in the top 100. Meanwhile Gallows hard-hitting summer tune "Abandon Ship" gets a decent position despite me loathing it initially. MIA also underachieves, while CSS make their first of two appearances on the chart. Justice & Pull Tiger Tail also make it into the 80s with their nice little numbers and Billy Talent shockingly tops the pile with "Fallen Leaves". HARDXORE.
