The DRUMS. The whole things hangs together like crystal wires; Loz smashes it apart with every beat.
- Ismael Klata.
“She’s effortlessly cool” haunted me as a teenager. I got her though, you’ll be pleased to know.
- kraudive.
"Where's Me Jumper" by Sultans of Ping FC for #1, fu purists if u disagree.

TOO LOW

I like Lush, but I'm puzzled at the love for Sweetness & Light

Came here to post that. I'm too slow.

Nice! I've always absolutely loved this song, even tho it was my #2 Ride.

So... anyone want to contribute a blurb on the following song for posterity?

Puzzled by the love for Dreams Burn Down, I would have switched that & Vapour Trail.

So if a track received 14 votes does that mean everyone voted for it?

I'm disappointed that Close My Eyes didn't even make the top 100. (Unless miraculously it has and everyone has suddenly stopped liking Soon)

"manic street preachers' 'kevin carter' is an exhilarating slice of swirling britpop cum shoegaze aimed squarely at disenfranchised youth."

nigh on 40 voters iirc

I think I've long underestimated the amount of love there is for "Dreams Burn Down". Not that it's undeserving - it's one song that quite reliably evokes memories of being a schoolkid at the time.

The Pina Colada song does that for me.

Still: Only two Pale Saints trax? Only one Kitchens of Distinction? No Seefeel, Secret Shine, Medicine or Swirlies? I dunno..

That *is* actually a great Pale Saints track, but I see it as inextricably linked to The Way The World Is because they flow from one into the other.

That whole album is pretty much unassailable imo

Oh come on. I lined up Soon for the big announcement, but it's finished and Glider has just started clanking and groaning in the background and it's still not announced.

That has actually reminded me - to whomever it was that said MBV started out as JAMC copyists - RONG! - they started out as Cramps copyists to be exact.

Wining by a wide margin. Also winner of the 90s singles poll and I predict it will also win Johnny Fever's upcoming 'THE 20TH CENTURY'S BEST TRACKS' poll.
― Moka, Saturday, 30 October 2010 20:57 (thirteen years ago) link
I mean 'Tiger in my tank' of course
Thanks everybody. It's been a fun ride.
