Christ, PL. I'll give you a pass on Taylor but the vast majority of the rest of that, my word. This is ever so exciting. Radiohead are my fanboy band (and I include Godrich in Radiohead, because it's right).
Hmm......are you in London? I could tell you the bar to go to in which to stalk them whist recording.
Well, my top 25 ever according to Last.FM (or at least since I got my account in about 2006) is slightly different, if that's any better? Air Supply – All Out of Love Owl City – The Saltwater Room Coldplay – Strawberry Swing Taylor Swift – Love Story Porcupine Tree – Lazarus The Kinks – Waterloo Sunset Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark – Joan of Arc The Lightning Seeds – Song for no one The Killers – Exitlude Information Society – Run Away Wyclef Jean – Million Voices Owl City – Fireflies Kirsty MacColl – A New England Amy Macdonald – Spark The Killers – Romeo and Juliet Elton John – Sacrifice David Gray – Be Mine blink-182 – I Miss You Peter Bjorn and John – Young Folks The Connells – '74-'75 Green Day – Whatsername Feeder – Feeling a Moment Hurts – All I Want for Christmas Is New Year's Day Len – Steal My Sunshine The Go! Team – Hold Yr Terror Close (and tied but just outside the top 25) Amy Macdonald – Mr Rock & Roll Owl City – Air Traffic Though my iTunes list is more representative of what I currently listen to, rather than have listened to in the past. I know you're being sarcastic, but I shall choose to ignore that. Yes she is! Yeah, I missed out the Bee Gees, although I think those specific songs from the 80/90s! As for Torn, I only really started listening to that after they covered it in Glee.
The last.fm one starts really, really badly, then gets a bit better at Porcupine Tree and continues to be acceptable until Owl City comes in again, then it's quite a lot of crap, with Blink 182 and Feeder being okay and I'll give you Len because that's a fun song in a way. Wyclef is cool too, I guess.
There are some pretty tragic ones on my last.fm, but I blame that on 15-16 year old me being an idiot.
That's from American Idiot, from 2004. Haven't heard much of their stuff since, but that was a good album. And listening to it in order, the complete contrast between the previous song (Home Coming) and Whatsername makes it so interesting. Plus, lyrically I think it's something we can all relate to.
Fineeeee. But as I mostly listen to albums and not individual songs there's far less variation than PL. I could do it by last 12 months which is less embarrassing, but where's the fun in that. Also it's nowhere near as bad as PL's so there's not much shame involved anyway. 1. Radiohead РJigsaw Falling into Place 2. The Decemberists РRecord Year 3. The Decemberists РOf Angels and Angles 4.

Just a last word on the 70s music debate, here is a link to various publications "all time best albums" lists.... You will note that the 70s has the highest % on every list varying from about 30% to 45%. http://www.besteveralbums.com/thechart.php
Hehe, Enter Shikari. To be fair, when I was a teenager I was listening to them too, as was literally everyone else I knew, because they come from St Albans. Them and Gallows used to play down The Pioneer, which was where all the cool kids would hang out. Juggernauts is from their later stuff though, so that's not as cool.
I've only heard the Decemberists once, when at a classmates' flat, doing some group work. They seemed alright actually.
It's terrible, but it came out at the height of my fandom as the first song they released from their second album so I listened to it loads, probably in an effort to convince myself to like it.
