British radio station XFM have been counting down what they have called the top 1000 songs of all time (voted by listeners). The top 100 were announced and played yesterday. There's obviously a very British influence in the final 100, and disappointingly not a single Sonic sound. Tbh, there's not a lot outside of the last 20 years, which reflects their listening audience. My personal favourite would have to be The Clash - London Calling.
