The first track I heard by Kendrick, excellent song and a sign of great things to come.

Really looking forward to this countdown! I have a feeling the scores could be quite close as it seems a lot of the votes were polarised one way then the other. Just hoping some of my favourites make it into the top 10!

Thanks! That’s an excellent playlist, looking forward to listening to the whole thing later! I noticed you made it a collaborative list, are you happy for additions if we can think of other appropriate ones (I promise I won’t ruin it 😆)? Would you like to stick to one song per artist?

Just thought of another, one of the best songs on the Thriller album, Human Nature!

The Subway is excellent, reminds me a bit of the Cranberries (a big compliment) and the way it builds to the end gives goosebumps! Album 2 is looking very promising, loved all three songs since album one including The Giver (I seem to be one of the few). Loads of potential now coming to fruition!

I’ve always really liked The Last Time……and I’m giving bonus points for the sample of the Andrew Oldham Orchestra version used in Bittersweet Symphony!

Wow, The Subway is fantastic! Gorgeous song especially the fade out coda! I’m not going to predict any more future number ones though, because I’m always wrong.

Oh wow I forgot about those two, they’re going on my playlist, thanks! Is your full list recorded on the forum somewhere, would love to have a look at your other suggestions?

Apart from some already mentioned, these are some of my non top 40 favourites, most of them are my favourite songs by these artists (I’m not sure if any would be considered as iconic by others though) Night Of The Living Baseheads - Public Enemy NYC - Interpol Goodbye Girl - Squeeze Mama Said Knock You Out - LL Cool J WFL - Happy Mondays Can’t Be Sure - Sundays Soon -My Bloody Valentine Sally MacLennane - Pogues Hit The North - Fall Hey Ladies - Beastie Boys Gigantic - Pixies (could be most of their singles really) Star Sign - Teenage Fanclub Nothing Can Stop Us -Saint Etienne Fall On Me - REM (or pretty much all of their early singles) Last Of The Melting Snow - Leisure Society (perhaps the most gorgeous song ever written IMO) I Hang Suspended - Boo Radleys Lazy Line Painter Jane - Belle & Sebastian Birthday - Sugarcubes Almost Prayed - Weather Prophets Flag Day - Housemartins Never Understand - Jesus & Mary Chain Are You Ready To Be Heartbroken - Lloyd Cole & The Commotions

1 What Do You Mean? 2 Cold Water 3 Daisies 4 Despacito 5 Sorry 6 Love Yourself 7 I’m The One 8 I Don’t Care Though Where Are U Now? would be number 1 if it had got to number 1 (if that makes any sense)!

Oasis first 2, then the Stones for all the others

Just reading the discussion about Mr Brightside sales and I hadn’t thought about it before, but is it possible it could reach the incredible 10 million milestone by the end of the decade? Could Last Christmas also manage it, which one is likely to be first do you think?

12 to 12 sounds like a huge hit to me, maybe a future number one……but then again I’m usually wrong about these things!

Wow, new Tame Impala is epic! Most dance oriented since Let It Happen. Fantastic!

Oh no, not again!!🤣

Oh no, that’s 3 of my top 4 gone out now (4 out of the top 6 if you count Acquiesce from the original lists). Fade Into You is really lovely American alt rock. Something Good Can Wait is excellent, loved it since the initial release and pleased it has become more popular over the years.

This is the greatest and best song in the world!

Yeah that’s the one. I agree it doesn’t change my enjoyment of the song much either. I suppose I’m still bitter about the slightly unnecessarily heavy handed SAW lawyers at the time 😆

I’m afraid I’ve gone a bit mad on this today after going through some of my favourites of the year lists! Seconding the already mentioned Raving I’m Raving by Shut Up And Dance - #2 single banned after 2 chart weeks due to its sample One of the UKs greatest and most influential number 1s (sorry I couldn’t find the other thread) Pump Up The Volume by MARRS in its original release WITH the ‘Roadblock’ sample (can’t even find that on YouTube) Bit more obscure, the fantastic I’m Leaving by Lodger #40 single 1998. Soldier Girl by Polyphonic Spree in its superior single version, #26 in 2003 Yeah Yeah Yeahs debut self titled EP from 2001 One of my favourite Christmas songs A Merry Jingle by The Greedies (Thin Lizzy and Sex Pistols) #28 in 1979 Finally I’d love the Dan Lissvik remix of Haim’s Send Me Down (B side to Don’t Save Me) on streaming, just because it’s absolutely brilliant!

Best new song this week, the wonderful Taxes by Geese!

No problem, if that happens could I have Stevie Nicks as my reserve +1 vote and move all my others up 1 place please?

Yeah maybe I was being a bit too sarcastic😂. More seriously though, is this the right place to share something new that you feel others might be interested in, especially if it’s a song/artist that’s less well known?

I apologise for posting this amongst the Oasis stuff but I’ve become ever so slightly obsessed with this fantastic country ballad released on Wednesday so felt I had to share it. Starts off simply but then grows into this magnificent Pogues or Dexys like crescendo. It’s absolutely beautiful. Maybe any Zach Bryan fans might like it?
