1) Deerhunter - Nothing Ever Happened
I think there might be a "one track per album" rule but there's nothing specified. Very few artists are in there more than once, so Bradford Cox with 2 Deerhunter and 1 Atlas Sound songs, all in the top 12 and including the #1 is the clear winner there !
I'm quite happy with many of the inclusions here, especially Andy Stott's Numb and Four Tet's Love Cry (for me one of the 5 best songs of the past 5 years not to be included in AM 3000)
Surprised to see Dream House that high but can't complain !
And it still seems that there isn't a clear consensus about which This Is Happening songs is the best, there are 4 songs in there that seems to appear on various lists, quite a heavy vote splitting here.
Also, no big surprise on which is the #1 EP !

Re: BPM - Best Tracks of the Last 5 Years
Thanks for the find Jackson, and thanks Nassim for transcribing the list!
Everyone you meet fights a battle you know nothing about. Be kind. Always.
Re: BPM - Best Tracks of the Last 5 Years
Nassim - you are indeed correct. No artist was allowed more than one song per release, with a cap of three releases in total per list.
so, 3 tracks were allowed split across different projects or taken from different albums and a maximum of 3 albums & EPs were allowed by any one artist. this was my ruling as I wanted things to be as varied as possible, so all 25-odd voters adhered to it
