To be honest, the top 10 itself isn't too dissimilar to what we'd achieve here if everyone had their vote.
No Sunrise or Turn or AIIWIW or Dream Attack or Mr Disco or Hurt or Cries & Whispers 
Who the fuck picked that list?
Americans?
:D

World in Motion in at no.24, Shug. You can't argue with the general public.

Such an underrated song...
#15 before anything off Technique, sounds about right 
There's only three that I would argue shouldn't appear in a top twenty, though there are more than 3 that I would have in my top 20 that aren't there. Think that's fairly representative (but where did 60mph come from?).
Im not saying the list is bobbins but when I looked at EMFs Top 50 songs it had Unbelievable on it three tmes.
Nice to see Vicious Streak in there.
Fine Time above the likes of Leave Me Alone and Vanishing Point though
No Lonesome Tonight? tut
No 8 'The Perfect Kiss'
No46 'Perfect Kiss'

Here To fuckin Stay would be number 1 if they had
as long as BLT is the propa one from Brotherhood, not that remix 12" disco shit, same with toothache.

Ceremony im afraid...the rest is filler
The Beach ahead of 1963.... 
Not sure Confusion is one of the best 10 No tracks either...
Snorri xxx
Well this kinda thing is so subjective it's asking for troub. All I'll say is... BM 88 not the original? Let's be honest, that mix was a cheap compromise, a stop-gap between TBTHOG and Technique, with all the balls of the original swamped in clichéd discopop FX. Even London managed better with the 95 mix, and it's friggin' rare to hear much positive about those '95 ripoffs! Ask Van Helden. State of the Nation? Hardly their finest moment. Round and Round at 38? I reckon it's one of their best singles, certainly turned me onto the band, check out the 12"! AFTER Senses, one long turgid drawn-out yawn. World shouldn't be in there at all, it may have strong lyrics but musically it's sub-MTO. Perfect Kiss in twice??? I could go on but...

Perfect Kiss isn't in twice, it's in once. Obviously the computer compiling the list isn't the only one blind to this error.
I think Al's point is that it's somewhat surprising that the top 10 seems to be pretty much how it would appear if a poll was taken today amongst the 'ardcore. The order would vary obviously but I don't think the content would.
I take it this is based on number of 'plays'? If so it would appear that the 'casual fan' seems to have better taste than we'd probably all have assumed.
