Of course, narrowing the field from thousands to 10 was not an easy task and a certain amount of 'you suck' and 'damn you and your principles' type attacks were made. So before we get to the list of nzima, we have a few special mentions (in no particular order):
- Kiss You on the Cheek - Desmond & the Tutus
- Just Like You Are and A Love Like This Is So Damn Hard To Find - Fire Through the Window
- Clear Blue Air - Turin Brakes
- Here and Now and Be My Downfall - Del Amitri
- No Tomorrow - Orson
Michael Cera and Ellen Page in Juno |
10. No One's Gonna Love You - Band of Horses
9. Can't Get Along (Without You) - Hard Fi
8. She Moves in Her Own Way - The Kooks
7. Let's Fall back In Love - Slow Club
6. Fall, Fall, Fall – Razorlight
5. 40 Day Dream - Edward Sharpe & the Magnetic Zeroes
4. Into the Dark - Ben Lee
3. To Be Alone With You - Bob Dylan
2. Something - The Beatles
1. Anyone Else But You - Michael Cera & Ellen Page
Personal taste presented a few issues with the BlindBlimp team not being 100% in agreement over certain songs. Vicky pushed for (to no avail!):
- Paris 2004 - Peter, Bjorn and John
- Back of the Van - Ladyhawke
- Baby You’re My Light - Richard Hawley
- To Be Alone With You - Sufjan Stevens
Her official comment in this regard is: "Damn veetoes."
Christine would have had Something be no 1, but since Vicky is anti-Beatles it had to be bumped. Democracy reigns. She also feels that I Got a Girl by Tripping Daisy is well awesome and deserves a mention.
