Prize for "most obscure pick so far" to bob....are you asking for personal opinions or what most pundits think? I would say the massive attack track could be a good pick for the latter...if a personal opinion then come back in a few days and it will be different but right now any one of these three....Travis - Why does it always rain on me....Beth Neilsen Chapman - Every December Sky....Manic Street Preachers - Motorcycle Emptiness.
Travis and U2 were 2000 and 1987 respectively.
My Top 5 are
1 Man On The Moon REM
2 No Surprises Radiohead
3 Unfinished Sympathy Massive Attack
4 Smells Like Teen Spirit Nirvana
5 A Design For Life Manic Street Preachers
'Why Does it Always Rain on Me' actually entered the charts on the 14th August 1999, according to the Guinness Book of Hit Singles, which is the Bible in these matters.
Tarzan as someone has already pointed out on my behalf I will not be usurped from my position of Popmaster (thank you Ken Bruce).....Travis had been singing this song for a good while before it entered the charts in August 1999 as the album "The man who" was released on 24th May that year.
