  2. Wow. Grim

    When A1 got it right, they got it really right. Caught In The Middle, Make It Good and Same Old... are in my top tier of boyband songs ever. On that basis I think they're underrated and gave them points, even if some of their other stuff (eg Take On Me) is naff. I've never got on with The Wombats at all, til they released Techno Fan which is a tune!
  4. Early 2001 was a time to be alive - sales suddenly exploded and stayed high for weeks on end. Across an interesting spectrum too, from steady slow burners (Whole Again) through to huge first week hype then a drop (Pure And Simple)

    Biffy finishing behind the Script is a sad state of affairs! Thought they might get more than just a couple of lowish votes besides my own.
  6. I've had zero interest in any previous LM solo singles but this one is excellent on first listen (as is the video)

    Wonder if New Order are still to come?
  9. Would like - Beautiful Things near the top, Greedy and Lose Control as the bottom two. Actually predict - that they may well be the bottom 3!

    Losing two strong indie bands from the lower echelons of my points there. Pleased they both got two other voters (both different, slightly surprisingly) and did respectably.

    SFA are great, used to have their greatest hits on CD, been too long since I listened to them! Hearing the intro to Orbital's Satan for the first time was a slightly terrifying childhood memory

    Agree with this almost word for word, except I'd say a couple of MGMT's best moments came after their first album, in particular the sublime Flash Delierium

    Had hoped the Maccabees might get another vote or two from somewhere. They've got a series of great albums. Dubstar is a band I've not thought about since circa 1996 but quite liked at the time!

    Led Zep only had one voter?! They're not in my personal top 30 but I'd have thought they'd be in quite a few folks' The Dark Is Rising by Mercury Rev is a masterpiece

    Think I would have given a small handful of points to Faithless in my voting if I'd remembered them at the time oops

    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.

    I don't know enough by SOAD or Underworld to vote for them, but what I do know is brilliant. Born Slippy is an all time classic and I have a soft sport for Caliban's Dream (soundtrack to the lighting of the 2012 cauldron). But those are the only two I really know. Ditto Toxicity and Chop Suey from SOAD.

    Good grief someone voted for DBE! Quite the variety in that last batch. Great to see Cake, I only know The Distance but what a tune that is.
  23. Annoyed Mark Knopfler missed out, especially to such garbage. Week 13 will take some beating as the strongest of this year. I usually only find one or two I'd like to vote for but Week 13 has at least 4 really good ones.

    Scooter! Great shout! Been listening to them quite a bit recently and could easily have given them a couple of points
