Agreed...but Thom Yorke is a little prettier than the slappers in Girls Aloud.

  The Coral are astonishing, and deserve to be that high on the list. Haven't been able to track down their second record though.

 $14, free shipping. As far as I am aware there is no American release day for it. Its good but not as good as their first.
 
 I hate the darkness and like the odd Streets song, but the whole album at once wears me down.

 I must have got separated from the heard then. Andrew WK has the cheesy plink-plink electronic sound I love so much, what do the darkness have? Spandex?

Ok, haha, Radiohead was number 2 and only to a band that wont be around in 4 years.
   
    The Chemical Brothers should have been higher and the darkness SUCK so bad, it makes me want to cry.
 
  The Streets are not better than David Bowie, ever.

It is a bit of an odd list. There were only about 2 or 3 that I wasn't familiar with but a lot of it does seem to be what the record companies are now trying to push in the UK now.
 
 That picture of Robert Wyatt freaked me out! Sort of looks like God has led a hard life. (No wonder, with we fuckers here on Earth!) I use to love his work with Soft Machine and Matching Mole. Also his studio works with the likes of Eno, Roxy Music and other top musicians of the 70s and early 80s. He must have dug himself out of his hole in the ground to resurface and sell some more records as I've been reading his name again lately. Good to see he's back.

just make sure you get .net and the usa site....... for me it always wants to give me the UK or German site, YA? and that works out more expensive and gives stupid top 75s etc.

  Well, I just finished reading through the list.. and I was surprised by many things. There were also many new names that I will have to check out: I've been hearing some buzz about Goldfrapp lately, and have yet to hear any of their songs. The same goes for The Streets and The Darkness--who the hell are they and what do they sound like? I better take a trip to the record store and find out.

LISTEN to The Darkness before you buy it!  While they're 'mock metal' or whatever, the lead singer is the worst kind of high-pitched screaming metal singer.  I find it really tough to take.
 
 Just a warning.
 
 The Streets is like the opposite of that.

Someone's been reading "So You Wanna Be an Indie Rock Expert"...the non-facke version.

Unfortunately I think the beautiful south are more likely to top a list than pureessence.....
 
 I mean what list have pureseence ever topped? The band that had the most inappropriate name. They should be gay euro disco with that name.... that is probably how you picked up on them, right?
