I'm listening

I voted for The Rat. Although I thought Standing in the Way of Control and House of Jealous Lovers would be top 10, and they've just been on in the mid-70s.

It was hard to choose, but I voted for Postal Service

and then they reformed!

Bloodbuzz Ohio got my vote

Quite enjoying this, a very lovely Friday soundtrack.

are they just playing Common People on a loop?

- no
  
  because Pulp haven't released anything in the 10 years 6Music have existed (apart from this week).

I voted at home and then at work

I wanted to listen to this

but for some reason bbc iplayer and radio player won't work on the office's internet. I think its because the server is based outside the UK (Niue to be exact). Its so annoying.

Clair_de_Lune | 1 Feb '13, 13:04 | X | ^ This | Reply
- pretty sure 6music works outside of the UK
  
  try it via the listen live link on their website, rather than via iPlayer http://www.bbc.co.uk/6music
  
  sean @Clair_de_Lune | 1 Feb '13, 13:21 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - Thanks
    
    I tried it and it loads up but no sound. I haven't got the player on mute (or the laptop). Its weird.

Lots of tracks appearing earlier than expected.

Anyone have a link to the list of 100 you could pick from? For some reason they've taken it down.

I'm Outraged that Crazy is so low

I can think of few more iconic songs, although I did vote for Hey Ya!

rainmaker | 1 Feb '13, 15:02 | X | ^ This | Reply
- I didn't expect either to be top 10 material tbh
  
  because of split votes between them and Milkshake

Went for Do You Realize?

Got to be in with a chance surely? At least top 10??

Furryboy | 1 Feb '13, 15:48 | X | ^ This | Reply
- I reckon
  
  All My Friends, Do You Realize, The Rat, Bloodbuzz Ohio and Wake Up will all be firm top 10 candidates.

I think I voted in this but I can't remember what I picked

Possibly 'Young Folks' because it was the only bona fide hit on the list.

  can definitely see them taking it now.
  
  rainmaker @Clair_de_Lune | 1 Feb '13, 16:04 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - Top 5
    
    5. Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Maps
    4. Arcade Fire - Wake Up
    3. Elbow - One Day Like This
    2. Radiohead - There There
    1. Coldplay - Clocks

Radiohead at 10?????

I'd bet good money now on Clocks at 1, followed by Arctic Monkeys, Elbow, The 'Lips and then The Killers.

Okay, BSP have come higher than Radiohead.

Wow.

Top 2 of Arctic Monkeys and Coldplay then?

And given they said they were hoping to get the winning artist in the studio you'd expect that to be Alex Turner?

What a let down that number one is

Probably most mainstream record of the whole 100

bornin69 | 1 Feb '13, 18:08 | X | ^ This | Reply
- Kelis' 'Milkshake' was rather mainstream
  
  It was at number 99.
  
  sean @bornin69 | 1 Feb '13, 18:15 | X | ^ This | Reply
  - I disagree
    
    Milkshake was a hit, but it's also a brilliant, individual and exciting record. Clocks is what beige sounds like.

Clocks is one of the most boring records ever produced

Cheers, 6 Music, you little rebels.

MajorCriiimes | 1 Feb '13, 18:26 | X | ^ This | Reply
Clocks is great so I'm ok with it being #1

Bet You Look Good on the Dancefloor at #2 is absurd though, never understood how such a terminally boring song could cause so much hype.

      - Well yeah, it's a matter of taste obviously
        
        Clocks may be an obvious stadium singalong hit produced within an inch of its life, but it does what it sets out to do really, really well. It has its shortcomings (Martin and his lyrics will always be a thorn on Coldplay's side) but the final result is still a pretty damn good tune that gets the whole larger-than-life anthem thing right.
        
        Bet You Look Good on the other hand sounds like a run-of-the-mill pub rock tune without a single memorable hook or moment, to be filed alongside The Kooks, The Pigeon Detectives et al. While I'm not a fan, I think Arctic Monkeys have grown to become something far more interesting later on and I can see why people would love them enough to vote them so high on a list like this - I just really don't get why this song in particular gets all the accolades. It does nothing and goes nowhere and sounds like it's bored with itself before it even finishes.
