    This isn't in order, because it would take me forever to do a list like that! And also, I'm only including one song by each artist :) But here goes...

    Radiohead - Nude
    Crystal Castles - Untrust Us
    Franz Ferdinand - Darts Of Pleasure
    The Dresden Dolls - Coin Operated Boy
    Morrissey - You Have Killed Me
    Thom Yorke - Harrowdown Hill
    Muse - Plug In Baby
    Arcade Fire - Neighbourhood No.3: Power Out
    Antony and the Johnsons - Hope There's Someone
    PJ Harvey - Big Exit
    Bloc Party - Flux
    Yeah Yeah Yeahs - Date With The Night
    Tegan and Sara - Back In Your Head
    The Horrors - Primary Colours
    Death Cab For Cutie - A Lack Of Color
    Queens Of The Stone Age - No One Knows
    Wilco - Impossible Germany
    British Sea Power - Remember Me
    David Holmes - I Heard Wonders
    Beck - Lost Cause

    That was harder than I expected. I'd most likely pick an entirely different list in an hour's time!

    I think it says something about Arcade Fire that they can have so many different songs in people's top 20s from just two albums.

    Unbelievable.
