We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order. She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.\nNow, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.\nBands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - Tori Amos, Arab Strap, Backyard Babies, Belle & Sebastian, Botch, Brandy & Monica, Richard Buckner, Cold, The Divine Comedy, The Haunted, Idlewild, Madonna, Mansun, Massive Attack, Mercury Rev, Neutral Milk Hotel, Pernice Brothers, Pitchshifter, Placebo, Pulp, Refused, Shellac, Silver Jews, Sparklehorse, Therapy?
