104.9 Xfm, London's alternative music station, has compiled the X-list 2004, the top 104 tracks on the year as voted by the listeners. It is not necessarily limited to tracks released this year, rather it's a gauge of what everyone's been listening to. It's a bit of an odd set of results (I do not know why Motorcycle Emptiness turned up at no.1) but it's nice to see a list made up of the listeners' choices, and this year Moz gets a solo track in there, as well as four Smiths' songs. They ranked:

#7 Smiths (pictured) 'There Is A Light That Never Goes Out'
#40 Smiths 'How Soon Is Now'
#69 Smiths 'This Charming Man'
#88 Morrissey (pictured) 'Everyday Is Like Sunday'
#97 Smiths 'Bigmouth Strikes Again'

Also significant are the amount of Smiths- and Moz-influenced bands that are gracing this years' charts. The only other bands to get as many or more than 4 entries were predictably Nirvana (5), Oasis (6), Radiohead (5) and the Stone Roses (4).

The full list.

  • whata mostly excellent but ultimately stupid list. nice to see New Order holding steady at 95 with a personal favorite 'True Faith'- ha, so meaningless.
