1, 4, 5. I didn't do too badly, did I? Uncut is actually the best poll. It's very much a list of the writers' most listened-to and enjoyed records of the year, whereas the NME and Q forget about all the little records which they've given great reviews to throughout the year, in favour of recs which have had a bigger impact. I liked their films of the year, also. Mullholland Drive, The Royal Tenenbaums and Donnie Darko all in the top 5. Hats off.
"I see the "influence" of Marcello here, fo' sure"
Rob's "Satyred Love" at number 30 also (it got a glowing review from Marcello).

Close behind: Flaming Lips Libertines Polyphonic SpreeNERD
Prediction:Top 10:The Vines, coldplay, Doves, Queens of the Stone Age, The Streets, the Coral, the Electric Soft Parade, the Datsuns, Boards of Canada, Badly Drawn Boy.
(close behind - the Libertines, Polyphonic Spree, Eminem, The Flaming Lips)
I got 7 out of 10. 10 out of 14, if you count the "close behind" predictions. I conclude: NME is prob the most predictable of the polls.

El-P at #3 in the Uncut list was, heheh, also a partial result of my, uh, "influence" ;-) - reynolds, stubbs, mulvey, andy gill and i all had it either first or second in our lists. doesn't appear at all in the nme list, as far as i can see.

Tom is proven correct. I missed out on BRMC and Interpol, but NME have hardly thrown us a curveball by putting those in. And I'm still the only person who loves Beachwood Sparks!
