Very embarrassing to be on the front cover of the @NME this week. Might have to sue.

I went looking for a postable list, didn't find one yet, but they are doing a 'vote yr favourite'

"Caught by the fuzz" is winning, which.. mm, I'm OK with actually...

Plenty of comments of the 'bbbbut what about Ocean Colour Scene/ dodgy' but this article seems to have used *that* "Select" front page as the initial template..

They should know better than to inflate Haines ego like that.

Ash's Girl from Mars suggested twice, but no rep for the brilliant Goldfinger, till now

My list would be only Supergrass, Blue and Pulp songs and probably wouldn't get to a hundred.

Blue?

Technically they're pop from Britain.

I probably shouldn't ask, but how on earth does Indian/Pakistani(LOL) music fit better into a European musical tradition than "American" music, by which I assume Geir means African-American music? It surely fits in less well?

Because the classical Indian musical tradition is head music, not body music.
