Don't worry. Only two weeks then we have Blondie. A week later and we have Going Underground. Some classic #1s later on in the year mixed in with some awful dross.

Reservation please!

61 Metronomy - Love Letters 125 62 Eagulls - Nerve Endings 124 63 Jagwar Ma - Uncertainty (MssingNo Remix) 120 64 Bastille - Oblivion 118 64 Twin Atlantic - Heart & Soul 118 66 Lana Del Rey - Big Eyes 117 67 Gazelle Twin - Belly of the Beast 112 67 Klaxons - There Is No Other Time 112 67 St Vincent - Prince Johnny 112 70 How To Dress Well - Words I Don't Remember 110 The next Lana track tumbles out without making the Top 60 maybe due to it being released so late in the year(?) Will she make the Top 10 this year at all? Other well regarded bads going out here include Bastille and the rather average Klaxons track. One comeback last year that didn't set the world alight. The first of 2 tracks from the rather wonderful St Vincent album also makes an appearance.

OMG Pav. That is the remix of a cover of a song by Tom Petty. What's up with you? Also you can compete under whatever name you want. I was just mildly intrigued who Aeondia was.

Clapton's turned into a bit of a yawny old bugger. The best guitarist of the last 50 years or so is James Marshall Hendrix.

71 Queens of the Stone Age - Smooth Sailing 109 72 Wolf Alice - Storms 106 73 Manic Street Preachers - Europa Geht Durch Mich 104 74 Interpol - My Desire 103 75 The War On Drugs - Under The Pressure 98 76 Holly Herndon - Chorus 97 77 iamamiwhoami - hunting for pearls 96 77 TV on the Radio - Happy Idiot 96 79 The Antlers - Palace 94 79 SZA ft. Isaiah Rashad - Warm Winds 94 A lot of my personal favourites go out here. Love Wolf Alice and if they release their debut album this year then maybe they'll go higher in the 2015 rate. The second iamami... track also leaves us here as does the first War on Drugs track from the universally acclaimed (except here!) Lost In The Dream.

81 Eternal Death - Head 93 82 Hannah Diamond - Every Night 92 83 iamamiwhoami - vista 92 84 Damon Albarn - Heavy Seas Of Love 90 85 Lydia Ainsworth - Malachite 90 86 King Creosote - Largs 83 87 Lana Del Rey - Ultraviolence 80 87 Owen Pallet - Song For Five & Six 80 89 Catfish & The Bottlemen - Cocoon 79 89 Lana Del Rey - Money Power Glory 79 Some more big names go out here. Two Lana Del Rey tracks, the second Damon Albarn song as well as the first iamamiwhoami track. The second of two Catfish tracks goes out here as well despite having a Top 10 album last year.

That is not what I said at all! Just wondered who the person behind the country is. The song would still suck whoever sent it. Two separate matters. Pay attention. #ClassicPav

Finally snapped that run of 5 DNQ's so thank you everybody who voted for Isconia.

How the heck did Aeondia qualify. Bloody awful cover. (and just who is that masked man?)

91 Damon Albarn - Selfish Giant 78 92 Pixies - Blue Eyed Hexe 76 93 Korallreven - Death Is Not For Us 74 94 The 1975 - Robbers 73 94 Maximo Park - Midnight On The Hill 73 96 Catfish & The Bottlemen - Kathleen 72 97 Burial - Lambeth 71 98 Gaslight Anthem - Rollin' And Tumblin' 68 99 Oscar and the Wolf - Princes 66 100 TALA - The Duchess 63 Some more big names here. Some board favourites here that have failed to set the rate alight such as The 1975 and Burial. Korallreven did have a track in the 2012 rate reaching the top 70. Meanwhile Pixies and Damon Albarn may have been seen to have fallen short somewhat. Also out is the first of 3 TALA tracks which have generated a fair few comments here.

101 Hundred Waters - Murmurs 60 102 Mogwai - The Lord is Out of Control 58 103 Glass Animals - Hazey 57 104 Neneh Cherry ft. Robyn - Out Of The Black 56 105 Fickle Friends - SWIM 55 105 Tokyo Police Club - Argentina (Parts 1, 2, 3) 55 107 Joan As Police Woman - Holy City 54 108 Seinabo Sey - Pistols at Dawn 48 109 X Ambassadors - Jungle 43 110 Esben & The Witch - No Dog 40 So coming up just short of the top 100. I thought/hoped Seinabo Sey would get higher than this as it was glorious. Other bigger names here include Neneh Cherry with what was a superb track as well as Mogwai and Joan As Police Woman.

So 23 sets of votes were counted and here we have the first batch of songs. This year every song got some points which hasn't happened for the last two rates. 111 Angel Olsen - Windows 39 111 James Yorkston - Guy Fawkes' Signature 39 113 A Winged Victory For The Sullen - Atomos II 38 114 You Me At Six - Cold Night 31 115 Imogen Heap - Run Time 29 116 Gerard Way - Action Cat 22 117 Tori Amos - Oysters 17 118 Wild Cub - Thunder Clatter 7 Some bigger names here who in past years would have reached much higher. All of these only received a single set of points so obviously did not catch the voters attention.

Welcome to the 2014 Indie/Alt Song of the Year Results. So what will be crowned the #1 track this year? Will it be Lana Del Rey again or will FKA Twigs or Lorde snatch the #1 spot. Or will Coldplay dominate the proceedings?

Leaked

Thoroughly enjoyed the Legs and Co section. We all laughed our socks off at that. Despite being featured in Guardians of the Galaxy I still hate the Pina Colada Song. Absolutely awful. Same sort of subject matter covered way more successfully by Kate Bush in Babooshka. But then I suppose I am biased. The Revillos were great but where did they pick up the bass player and guitarist from? Once again my 5 year old leads the way by liking John Foxx and the Specials best tonight. She actually cheered when she realised it was on!!

1987 is one of the greatest albums ever. On a scale of 1-11 it is a 100. Will do this properly later

I absolutely love that!

It hadn't been totally forgotten about! We're gonna try and have three Nuggets this year, one very soon, the next sometime in June and the third in Aug/Sept.

Have to agree. Probably should have given it more points than I did at the time having just listened to it again.

Thank you for Fjord, I loved it.
