I made a spotify playlist of all the ones I could find (don't seem to have the Groove Cutters or Beat Up songs, only one side each of the double A sides by Whitey and CLIPZ)

I expect "Wake Me Up" to win - or maybe "Apply Some Pressure"?? - but "Don't Place Nice" and "Need to Feel Loved" are bloody marvellous and deserve just as much love.

Play* Nice

I remember wishing at the time that I liked Maximo Park more - I lot of guitar bands around then were getting compared to or namechecking these herky-jerky new wave groups I loved, but they mostly didn't sound much like them to me, but Maximo Park actually did - except they also seemed to have zero good songs, listening to Apply Some Pressure again for the first time in years hasn't done anything to change my mind I'm afraid.

My favourite here is probably either Wake Me Up, Caught Up or Don't Place Nice. From the lower placing, less familiar stuff Striptease is very good as well

didn't realize "let's get blown" was such a big hit in the uk. only got to #54 on the hot 100

Love that Feist/KoC track...was a bit shocked to see it as high as 86...not as surprising as Low at 57 tho. Will probably pick one of those.

Some of these are fairly new to me and neeearly good archetypes like 'Winter' and 'D Thames' which surely must have an MJ Cole mix or similar superior format out there.

I forgot to include Over And Over by Nelly ft Tim McGraw which was a new entry at number one that week

You'll have to do a grand final.

I would have voted Bastardo if I hadn't missed this.

I can hear the Popworld theme in my head just reading this
