Spoons, Industry, Furniture... hmmm... looks like I have some homework. Who the hell are these bands?

Amendment:
Now that the complete list is posted, let me add my thanks Freewave. This list is AWESOME! I compiled a list of favorite songs (along with bands and albums) a year or so ago, so I know how time consuming it can be (I'd like to see that spreadsheet!). After some questionable calls on the NWO Survivor voting, this reconfirms my faith in all you NWO members. Now I have to find all the ones I don't know to give them a listen!

BTW Kinda kool that I picked the winner [:p][:p][:p]

FreeWave, having the singles covers for the top 50 rocks! I love the way the list came out. My only shock is Talk Talk at #2. Kinda scratching my head at that one. Otherwise, I'd be happy to call that list pretty damned representative.

FreeWave,

Thanks. Great work. I admire your ambition to tackle this project. It was all I could do to just to contribute my Top 100 List.

Now get away from your PC, go out there & do something fun! [^]

Many thanks.

I wasn't expecting it to be THAT high either but it makes sense based on the amount of lists and WHERE it was at:

5 ebbhead
5 manekineko
5 hexicon
2 DayGloJo
4 Otters
3 more than this
3 freewave
5 marie3
3 Dave
2 dtradio
3 XXX
4 Temple of NW

Plus it went to a tiebreaker (3 way tie) with Gary Numan- Cars and Visage - Fade to Gray and beat both! [:0] Impressive!

Unbelievable! How could *my favorite song* finish at *x* when *song I hate* finished at *higher than x*?!?!?
Are you people idiots? Was this list determined by Nelson fans?
This must be a *stupid liberal / damned neo-con* conspiracy! Really, *another song I hate* at *x*?!?
I'm leaving this stupid board and starting my own for people who have some taste. Later, chumps.

Feel free to copy rant and insert your choices as you see fit.

Freewave, this is amazing! Again, I love a man with a spreadsheet! [:X]

Blir, doo-ood, "It's My Life" is my #1 song! P.S. How do you know I DON'T have boobs like that? [}:)] Victoria's Secret makes some pretty amazingly engineered bras these days. [:p]

Finally, is Industry's "State of the Nation" the one with the refrain "There's no place like home"?

By the way thanks for all the compliments guys. [:I] It wasn't all work and it was a lot of fun (i love lists). [:D] Plus my workplace I'm sure is thrilled I was able to use company pc's and time inbetween work to tabulate such lists. [8)]
