Subject: my favourite hundred singles

The top eighty or so selected itself- all truly indispensible. The other twenty were pretty much picked arbitrarily. the presence of two double a-sides doesn't mean i'm taking b-sides and extra tracks into account generally- its just a happy coincidence that my favourite beatles/kraftwerk singles happened to both be on the same slab of vinyl, thus creating more space in the list. The other exception to the rule is Plouf!. But Plouf! make their own rules.
These would make a bad compilation by the way. the mixture would be two rich. you'd need some sour morbid gloomy album tracks to clear the pallette.
