1920. Johnossi – From People's Heart www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hlvS-fZj-EJohnossi is a rock duo from Saltsjöbaden, Stockholm County, Sweden, consisting of songwriter, singer, guitarist John Engelbert and drummer, percussionist, singer Oskar "Ossi" Bonde. Their music is characterized by a full guitar sound supported by Engelbert's unorthodox guitar rig and myriad effects pedals, and Bonde's straightforward beats; studio releases often feature colorful percussion accents on instruments such as tambourine, woodblock, guiro, and chimes. A variety of musical styles appear in their work, from hard rock, to blues riffs, post-punk, and even gloom-pop, though lyrical themes are almost uniformly personal and slightly angsty

1916. The Hot Melts – (I Wish I Had) Never Been In Love www.youtube.com/watch?v=tyCoNpkf1QIAnother excellent tune from The Hot Melts, urgent guitars, catchy sing along chorus, this was indie rock at its finest, I cant help but think if they came around in 2004 instead of 2009 they could have been quite populor

1913. The Bravery – Unconditional www.youtube.com/watch?v=89aKm-7WwLQ2004-2007 was such a great time for Indie Rock, another band I've seen live, I remember they didn't come out on time, massively eating into the Kaiser Chiefs set so after underwhelming the Scottish crowd they got cups of p*ss thrown at them

1909. Golden Silvers – Please Venus www.youtube.com/watch?v=_0IyCgXfDLsGolden Silvers were such a clever band with flamboyant lyrics, references to Greek myth and big, elastic bass lines, certainly more creative than a lot of music at the time

1904. The White Stripes – There’s No Home For You Here www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEO6hYTsbnsI think most of the album Elephant could make it on here! this is just classic White Stripes, loud then quiet, crunching guitars, witty lyrics and it rips off their own song Dead Leaves and the Dirty Ground

1902. Noisettes – Don't Upset The Rhythm (Go Baby Go) www.youtube.com/watch?v=8SFT8k5chO8I know a few people on here prefer the more poppy moments and I'm quite partial to a good pop song, The Noisettes have 3 songs in my countdown with Don't Upset The Rhythm (Go Baby Go) being the lowest of the three
