How I Wrote 'Elastic Man'!
Wow, yes, I don't even care about the rest of the list, it's a good one.
On the other hand though, how you can rate Arctic Monkeys over The La's and This Charming Man over Reel Around The Fountain is beyond me but still. How I Wrote 'Elastic Man'!
what a wierd list
all the same, pretty much everything on here is good.
Plus
it's "proper indie." Tally ho! Not for plebeian scruffs like.. er.. Jo Whiley and Emily Parr.
Great Eastern that far down?
bah, apparently i'm the only person who loves the Delgados enough
It's brilliant
and The Delgados are brilliant.
The fact it's in the list at all is pleasing enough.
It should be Peloton though
No, its hould be Hate!
No, you're not the only person who loves The Delgados enough. I would have it far higher too!
But also, 'Up For a Bit With the Pastels' just being there makes me happy.
^yep
no kasabian?
hohoho
Wow
brilliant to see This Mortal Coil so high up.
i think song to the siren on that
might be my favourite ever single
yes i do
loads of c86/indiepop
cool :)
There's a lot of great bands
on that list. Funny that in many cases, though, I don't even think the album listed is that band's best, though.
a bit too much c86
No such thing.
Yes,
Yes there is.
No there isnt
no, see
you're wrong...
absolutely bonkers list, but i love it
fucking weird
list.
how can you compare one song by the Smiths or Franz Ferdinand to the whole of Colossal Youth/Psychocandy/You Can't Hide Your Love... albums?
No Talulah Gosh
or Field Mice but an interesting list all the same.
lloyd cole tho
is for cunts, right?
Wrong
Though I'm a cunt.
wrong
me too
aha
if you need someone...what a special song
That's a good list
I'm glad Pristine Christine is in there. I suppose because it was the first single released on Sarah.
it appear to own
most of these.
Teenage fanclub
Some odd choices in there..
Number 17:
Teenage Fanclub 'Bandwagonesque', surely?
Number 34:
St Etienne: 'Foxbase Alpha', surely?
yay for camera obscura
lloyd, i'm ready to be heartbroken is one of my favourite songs of the past 18 months.
