DEMOCRATISCHE 99 (2001)

Here it is... the full list. Well, actually there's two because I couldn't decide on whether I would allow more entries per artist. If I would, I would get the best tracks of the year, but some pretty songs would fall out of the list because of the fourth Radiohead track. If I wouldn't, I would neglect the fact that certain bands like Muse or Ladytron made more than one good track. So that's why you'll find two lists here. On this page the "one per artist" list. For the top 200 with multiple entries, go here. And if you see an * behind a song title, that means you can watch the video in the Video Archive.
