For this list, I have made a big change to my usual criteria. I have decided to let bands appear more than once. This has resulted in 11 acts having two songs, but no band has more than that. I don't mind telling you I almost went to three slots for Girls. In case you're interested, the 11 that got shut out because of this decision are (in no particular order): A.C. Newman, Julian Casablancas, Wilco, The Cribs, Arctic Monkeys, St. Vincent, Beach House, Vivian Girls, The Rifles, Spiral Stairs and 7 Worlds Collide. That ought to help start the debate. So, what do you think is missing? Happy New Year to you and yours!
