SoundsXP has been running since 2001 (when it was all fields round here too, we tell ya..).

I especially like the way in 2001 you managed to get the title of "Are You Are Missing Winner" wrong not once but twice. Top effort! Anyhoo, best album of that period: Ultraglide in Black by the Dirtbombs. Second best: Fever to Tell, Yeah Yeah Yeahs Best comp (by a billion light years): The Complete Peel Sessions, The Fall |

thanks VV! i tried to do the albums thing but i ended up doing singles instead. so from the lists provided (from 2002)... The White Stripes - Fell in love with a Girl. one of my fave singles of ALL TIME ![]() Outkast- Hey Ya! ditto^ but it's too long. Klaxons - Gravity's Rainbow hate EVERTHING else i've heard by them, and the whole Nathan Barley thing. but i LOVE this. Manic Cough - Lips and Hips Love everything about Manic Cough. and best frontwoman in England IMO. Yeah Yeah Yeahs – Bang one my fave EPs. best thing they've done maybe? Good Shoes – Small Town Girl great debut release. easily my favourite Good Shoes single. The Strokes – Reptilia hate the band. but Love two of their singles, this being one. least i can admit it. Queens of the Stone Age - No One Knows i love how sleazy this sounds. don't really like anything else i've heard by them. The Boyfriends / Long Blondes: Filthy Little Angels EP4 favourite Long Blondes recordings by FAR. Boyfriends are so boring though. The White Stripes - Seven Nation Army i Love the lyrics in this so much. |

The Libertines - Up The Bracket Arcade Fire - Funeral Idlewild - 100 Broken Windows The New Pornographers - Twin Cinema Broken Social Scene - Broken Social Scene Patrick Wolf - Lycanthropy/Wind In The Wires Iron and Wine - The Creek Drank The Cradle Sufjan Stevens - Michigan The White Stripes - White Blood Cells Thats if we're allowed to vote for anything, I've no idea what if we're restricted to the polls there, there are some very very peculiar choices there. I mean Coldplay? ![]() |
