I am going to post the Select Top 50, because I cared about it more than the NME one. But as Carsmile says, the NME one is worth talking about too and maybe should get its own thread.
Suede - Animal Nitrate Leftfield Lydon - Open Up Aphex Twin - On Blur - For Tomorrow Bjork - Venus As A Boy Pulp - Lipgloss Sabres Of Paradise - Smokebelch II St Etienne - Who Do You Think You Are? Pj Harvey 50ft - Queenie Pet Shop Boys - Go West M-People - One Night In Heaven Polygon Window - Quoth New Order - Regret Rage ATM - Bullet In The Head Faith No More & Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. - Another Body Murdered Pet Shop Boys - Can You Forgive Her?
