Thats a rock solid top 10 if you ask me - but then I would say that! I imagine some of the calls will raise eyebrows - namely Aimee Mann sneaking into the top 5, but hey thats the standings this year.
Originally I was going to do a top 32 list - Nick Hornby style, but considering my shortlist blew out to 83, I thought culling it to a top 50 wasn't bad going!

I'm impressed Andrew. Being able to order 50 songs is a huge feat!! I blew out and did my top then then remaining 40 but unordered.
Oh, and speaking of your 26th Birthday. I actually have it in my diary and was going to send you an email today (since we are away all weekend) to wish you happy birthday and that I havent forgotten this year. Only thing is that last night Bebo did a useful thing for once and sent me a bday reminder.. for your birthday on the 16th, not 17th as I had written in my diary!! Why do I always think its the 17th? You really should just change the date I think!!
So anyway, to get to the point HAPPY 26th BIRTHDAY for Sunday!!! I hope you have a fantastic day.
Thanks very much. It was quite an effort to order them, I did it aby grouping them into groups of like 15-20 then ordered those. The worts part was culling.- Im afraid Mr Bowie we're gonna have to let you go.
what?.... no coldplay?
No this is a top 50.
