Far from perfect but a much more palatable list than the one provided by listeners of the admittedly-not-for-very-long-but-still-once-great XFM. This was a list voted for by listeners to BBC 6music, although admittedly from a shortlist of 100 songs, so it must be a real bugger if you came in at no 100. It’s clearly a tribute to how well fans of the Basildon boys managed to organise themselves as they got four times as many votes as second-placed Muse. (originally posted 7/1/10 on my old blog)
