@westartedthis: That would be a cool substitution, since LWB belongs in the 2000-2002 chapter and LIA belongs in the 2003-2006. You could make an argument about how the group was one of the first acts to use post-punk as a touchstone during the "Rock Revival" that we saw at the beginning of the century (I suppose you would have to say something about their American counterparts in the Yeah Yeah Yeahs). Then again, Clinic might make that redundant...

Also "Lose Yourself" > any other Eminem.

@Chris Molanphy: Agreed. Looking at the great picks in that book ("Nag Nag Nag", "For Tomorrow", "You Made Me Realise", "Teenage Kicks", "Marquee Moon", probably about three dozen others) I might actually buy this book. Oh, yes, and the fact Maura has something to do with the book helps too.

good overall, but having a Love Is All song and no Life Without Buildings is a little bit "huh?"

i'd have also chosen the Labi Siffre-sampling "My Name Is" over "The Real Slim Shady".

@TheRunningboard7: "Buffalo Stance" is a serious oversight.

Otherwise, I'm sort of shocked at how good this list is. I agree with it to a remarkable degree.

While unfamiliar with this book they’re putting out, I do hope this involves “Buffalo Stance”.

If anyone but Maura wrote the clip for Amerie’s “1 Thing”, I’m burning a stolen copy of the book in protest.
