What do you expect me to do put in songs that people/I don't like?
Also, why would i buy the now album when i can make a better CD.
Also, I hadn't heard most of these songs so it's not because they are popular i like them, it's because they have caught my taste. Everyones got different taste in music, this is just my interpretation of the best of the year. Also if i were to come back and do this list again in a few months im sure it would be totally different. Why what would be your top 20 then?

dave.omeara

In no particular order, for your consideration,

Neon Neon - I Told Her On Alderaan
Jape - Phil Lynott
Sigur Ros - Gobbledigook
Hot Chip - Hold On
Bloc Party - Talons
Goldfrapp - Happiness
dEUS - The Architech

Just a few that I can think of off hand.

There are always countless amount of crap tunes on the Now series, TM is better off just making his own compilation of tunes he just wants to hear.

Dear God yes, but then again, Heart On hasnt been released in Ireland, so a non-big fan would't know of it. Love the song after that(havent gotten to remembering names fully yet), and I'm Your Torpedo...lovely album.

Has it not??? I seen Heart On in HMV Graffton Street the Sunday before Christmas, and I goes "Awesome dude!", then I bought it.
