Description

This month we're back to the year Colin's most excited about as we talk about our favourite songs of 1996, Including the best songs to receive a concussive head injury to, Songs to listen to at Ians house at 3am and subsequently fail your IT A-Level, & bands Colin apparently recommended to Tracey but has no recollection of..

We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Ian's wife Lydia, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them to Colin's wife Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order. Helen also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.

Now, 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.

Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - Alisha's Attic, Tori Amos, Arab Strap, Belle & Sebastian, Butthole Surfers, CAKE, Nick Cave & The Dirty Three, Corrosion Of Conformity, The Cure, Mark Eitzel, Everything But The Girl, Fugees, Fun Lovin' Criminals, Korn, The Lemonheads, Lilys, Manowar, Mogwai, Neurosis, PET, Placebo, Sebadoh, DJ Shadow, Skinny Puppy, Stereolab, Tool, Type O Negative, Uresei Yatsura, & The Wedding Present.

The playlist of 20 songs from the other two hosts was scored as usual, our favourite song got 20 points, counting down incrementally to our least favourite which got 1 point. The scoring of our own list of 10 is now slightly more complicated in order to give a truer level of points to our own favourites. So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows -

1st place - 20 points
2nd place - 18 points
3rd place – 16 points
4th place – 14 points
5th place – 12 points
6th place – 9 points
7th place – 7 points
8th place – 5 points
9th place – 3 points
10th place -1 point

Hosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey B
Guest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.
Playlist compiling/distributing – Lydia Clarke
