90% of those bands were better than punk was anyway.

But if were going by singles why are Tigermilk, Psychocandy, the Stone Roses on there? I'm seriously lost here =/

i think they meant 'record' to mean just any old indie musical recording. Mojo is such a rip-off these days. To their credit their articles are always immaculately researched...
It's weird how before Q and the like you didn't get all these retrospective musical monthlys... are there any GOOD new music publications?
the list has some great music in it but there's no method to this, it's just a list of names. I mean Huggy Bear aren't very good at all, Arctic Monkeys are in it (?) and Franz Ferdinand are higher than the three post-punk bands they are plagiarizing... you can get most of these from the CD86 compilation aswell - value!

I think that the list was made like this so they could put bands like Huggy Bear on it.
I mean everything they did was utter crap but Her Jazz was a great single.

From what I can see their is alot of singles up there (spacemen 3 - revolution, The Smiths - This Charming Man, Joy Division - Transmission)

It's a crap list. It's missing ALL the Indie heavyweights.

Like who? I think the list is pretty good, granted it doesn't make sense.

Well I would seem to think it's missing
Super Furry Animals - Radiator (or Rings Around The World)
The Coral - The Coral
Band Of Bees - Free The Bees
Muse - Showbiz (It was indie when it first came out)
Spiritualized - Ladies And Gentleman, We Are Floating...
Ride - Nowhere
Beta Band - 3 EPs
Badly Drawn Boy- Hour Of The Bewilderbeast

just at the top of my head...if I researched it I'm sure I could find more
