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.
