I had no idea what this list would look like before I compiled it. There are so many damn songs that I don't know if this is exactly comprehensive or not. It's quite possible that I've forgotten something, but it looks pretty good to me. Commentary will be minimal as I am not a music critic. Video will be provided when possible.
100.
Song: "500 (Shake Baby Shake)"
Artist: Lush
Album: Lovelife
Year: 1996
Peppy video
After years of being a shoegazer band, Lush went for a more pop sound on their final album, succeeding in picking up new fans like me. There is even an ironic nod to this shift in the video as you can see the word 'Britpop' on a parking boot. In fact, with the exaggerated head-bops and goofy grins, the whole video seems to be ironic, as if they were dragged to this new sound kicking and screaming. Don't worry Miki. No shame in going pop when you do it this well.
