Goldfrapp is too low on their list!! It should be much higher!
(in my very-right opinion...)
Hey, at least she's on the list! Where are Art Brut, The Rakes, The Decemberists, Minus the Bear, Echo & the Bunnymen, The New Pornographers, Stars, Andrew Bird, Seth Lakeman, and British Sea Power (to name just a few ;) )? The list could be much better, (in my very-right opinion).
Good lord, how is Eels Americana? And LCD Soundsystem is certainly more rock than electronica. Someone needs to go over there and explain genres to these confused Brits. Except for the cool inclusion of Amadou & Mariam, these may well be the worst best-of lists I've seen thus far...
