I voted twice. Is that evil?
I couldn’t live with my wimpy list. Second set was:
Primal scream-Rocks
Blur- song 2
Portishead-glory box
Radiohead- paranoid android
The verve- bitter sweet symphony
Toots and the Maytals- Funky Kingston
Mars volta- the widow
U2-Sunday Bloody Sunday
Paul Kelly and the Coloured Girls- Dumb Things
Silverchair- Tomorrow

Wimpiness wiped. A bit.

I just want to say I picked Billie Jean as my top ten BEFORE MJ died. I’m not jumping on a bandwagon or anything. I hope his death doesn’t swing the vote in his favour.

According to the email they just sent me, I just voted:

Nine Inch Nails – Leaving Hope
Regurgitator – Black Bugs
Beatles, The – A Day in the Life
Crowded House – Don’t Dream Its Over
David Bowie – Queen Bitch
Michael Jackson – Billie Jean
Muse – Butterflies & Hurricanes
Postal Service, The – Such Great Heights
Shihad – Pacifier
Smashing Pumpkins, The – 1979

Although I must say whittling past the final 20 was FUCKING HARD. Radiohead proved too difficult to choose a single defining track.

Just voted.
I wanted other stuff but couldn’t get rid of any of these ( I spent a day playing songs off against each other on my stereo), so they stuck.

Stone roses- fools gold
Lemonheads- if i could talk i’d tell you
Oasis- wonderwall
Jeff buckley- last goodbye
George Harrison-here comes the sun
Whitlams- blow up the pokies
Gotye-hearts a mess
Supergrass- alright
Fatboy slim- praise you
Inxs- never tear us apart

Now that I look at it, it is a little wimpy. Should have thrown some Rage in there. I don’t even like Rage that much. It just would have made me look less wimpy.

I can’t help but look over mine and find it blindingly unoriginal and slightly like what my dad would choose… oh god, I’ve become my parents:
Radiohead – Paranoid Android
Joy Division – Love Will Tear Us Apart
Tori Amos – Winter
Pulp – Common People
Sufjan Stevens – Chicago
The Dandy Warhols – Bohemian Like You
Kate Bush – Wuthering Heights
Cat Stevens – Matthew & Son
Johnny Cash – Hurt
Queen – Bohemian Rhapsody

Nice, very nice. I like those Bowie and B52 songs.

Nickleback should be burnt in the fiery pits of hell.

Good list. Everything is good apart from Bjork but thats only because i’m moraly opposed to batshit insane icelandic women.

Not only is In Limbo not the best Radiohead song, it’s not even the best Radiohead song on that album. You’re living in a fantasy. One day you’re going to look at this list and cry about how wrong you were about this. Now excuse me while I go and listen to every Radiohead song and try to convince myself which one is the best.
