I originally wrote the singles lists in December 2007 and I am sure I did an albums list at that time too but I can’t find it so I’ve done it again. (That was in Dec 2009, when I wrote this page for my old blog).
A great top 10 but I might have been able to squeeze some more songs into it if 10 wasn’t a finite number – songs like these:
11. Maximo Park – Our Velocity
12. Metronomy – Hear To Wear
15. Art Brut – St Pauli
16. Dead 60s – Stand Up
17. Detektivbyrån – Nattöppet
18. They Came From The Stars, I Saw Them – The Unstoppable Kite
19. Mike Flowers Pops – Talk
21. Long Blondes – Giddy Stratospheres
22. múm – A Little Bit, Sometimes
23. Hot Puppies – King Of England
24. James Yuill – This Sweet Love
30. Chumbawamba – Add Me
31. Tunng – Bullets
35. Bird and the Bee – Again & Again
37. Fighting Cocks – The Little Goats’ Big Night Out
49. Marc Almond – Kitsch
50. Art Brut – Direct Hit
Art Brut quite possibly would be in my top 2, not hindered by a nice trip to the football stadium and a drinking session in the Jolly Roger pub (a bar for old punks) that I enjoyed in St Pauli in June 2009.
Radiohead’s return to excellence is well documented and I feel mightily aggrieved for volunteering four squid of my valuable coinage to pay for the download.
