I nominated Rapunzel last week. I haven't had a chance to dig deeper yet, but I'll try & have a listen to 'Deep Six Textbook' later & second one of them.

Seems to be doing OK as it is, but 'Juxtaposed ...' is actually on spotify too.

If it was songs that feature David Bowie Reflektor would be my no.2 but that's definitely not a Bowie song. While a seismic change it's definitely still Arcade Fire with a big Murphy influence. Under Pressure and Love is lost remix still very much Bowie. There may be things in between that are less ...

Here's my songs. Might need more time for the albums (which could in turn change the songs): 1. Life on Mars? 2. Heroes 3. The Man Who Sold the World 4. Space Oddity 5. Changes 6. Young Americans 7. Starman 8. Let's Dance 9. Modern Love 10. Under Pressure 11. Ashes to Ashes 12. Moonage Daydream 13. ...

Oasis you either love them or hate them, though I've just ranked them (well down to 11, no strong feelings after that) & ranked it 9 as well,

The songs in this chart, while good, aren't as strong as Radiohead's back catalogue perhaps.

Seconded

Also just heard this on the radio. Not had time to fully evaluate yet. It's a bit weird in a Kate Bush sort of way but certainly grabs you.

Let's Eat Grandma - Rapunzel

JohnnyBGoode

The Anchoress - Doesn't Kill Me
The Divine Comedy - Catherine the Great

JohnnyBGoode

Actually it's not even that, ignore me it's late, it's up there anyway. It's still great. Don't burn me as a witch.

I for one don't hate it. I love all the tracks on the album, which is one of my favourites of all time. In fact very little between 3 to 11, so on another day could be much higher.

Also, I know there's already three Radiohead songs in the chart but this one's been hitting me hard lately: Radiohead - Present Tense I know I said this earlier, Setherex, but can we wait till most of the weeks are up with the three songs currently in the chart before adding more Radiohead to give ...

Might want to check you're not double counting any of these. Here is a similar list of 101 apparently from 2014 which while I haven't done a full cross check also has e.g. St Vincent's choice. Don't know if you included this previously. NME recycling articles. http://www.nme.com/photos/101-albums-to...

Can we skip the formalities and just nominate "Burn the Witch" to the Hall of Fame, please? How many 'seconds' do we need to accomplish this If I "most certainly" second that, does it count for two "secondings" ? Wait, is that an actual nomination ?? :D I should have s...

My primary concern with upping the votes to 10 per user wasn't entirely a concern, it was simply that little would change within our weekly rankings. I'm not sure if I was right or wrong with that notion at this point - recent newcomers ANOHNI and Suede are bringing in a lot of votes for themselves...
