Predictably, no-one guessed the #100 record. Frag was the nearest (by one place!) so he wins the biscuit. I'll start the countdown shortly but first, here is a list of the acts with the most songs in my previous end of year charts: 18 - Super Furry Animals 14 - Blur, Manic Street Preachers 13 - Ash 12 - Radiohead, Supergrass 11 - Charlatans, Chemical Brothers 10 - Bluetones, Elbow 9 - Gomez, Idlewild, Ooberman, Travis 8 - Beck, The Coral, Foo Fighters, Lightning Seeds, Mansun, Muse, Oasis, Stereophonics This might become relevant later, especially as the song that missed out on the chart by one place is: Super Furry Animals - Run-Away (clicky links ahoy!)

I'm wondering if it would be worth me adding links when it comes to doing a YEC of my own... probably most of them will be linked in either Thorney/mrh/EP charts before anyway... *muses* 90. 4 Hero - Morning Child [image] 89. Bi-Polar Baby - Suicide Girl [image] 88. Teenagers - Starlett Johansson [image] 87. Malakai - The Battle [image] 86. Seventeen Evergreen - Haven't Been Yourself [image] 85. Catherine Feeny - Mr. Blue [image] 82. Sam Beeton - Firebird [image] I don't know any of these - haven't even heard of any of them... where do you pluck these obscurities from? 84. Mark Ronson - Stop Me [image] 83. Sons And Daughters - Gilt Complex [image] 81. ;D Los Campesinos! - You! Me! Dancing! ( > ;D >

Thanks for the comments and smileys, everyone. Thanks to Sepp Blatter for the flags. He won't mind me stealing them. I'm wrapping up lots of Christmas presents at the mo but if I get a chance, I'll post the next set of songs later. I don't know any of these - haven't even heard of any of them... where do you pluck these obscurities from? Basically, I try and listen to everything on Manic's weekly release list (so a huge thanks to him for posting it every week, and to Earl P for his input as well) including the stuff listed as "missing" (they've usually been released but are hard to find). I have to find the time to do this, which isn't always easy and is why my monthly charts have usually been a month or two behind over the last couple of years. I figured I was missing out on a lot of good music because I was only hearing what the radio and TV allowed us to hear. When I signed up to Napster a couple of years ago, it allowed me to take matters into my own hands (and ears).

That's what I'd do if I had unlimited time... but once you subtract the free time I spend each week with Jade, or playing bridge, or watching football, or socialising - there's not a lot of time left for checking out all those bands I've never heard of. It doesn't help that I find it difficult to listen to music and work at the same time - my work tends to involve staring at something mathematical for an hour, before writing half a page and hoping that it's right

Indeed. I often I find I go a long time without getting a chance to listen to anything, then get through a month of stuff over the course of a week.

Hope to see another Interpol in here. Not so much of a fan off Mammoth...
