39. Midlake: 'Roscoe' (2006) – Jason Lee, aka Earl of 'My Name Is Earl' fame, has cited Texas' Midlake as the greatest band of our generation. Far fetched you might think, but one listen to 'Roscoe' and it's very possible you'd agree with the moustached actor. Impossibly beautiful, singer Tim Smith narrates an enchanting, almost nostalgic tale of 19th Century life in central America. Stunningly orchestrated, it's a fitting opener to their criminally underrated album 'The Trials Of Von Occupanther'.

- Well deserved Idioteque first place. That song never gets old, truly fantastic and inovative, even almost ten years later. Reckoner - from In Rainbows - deserved to be in the top 10 IMO. And great to see Seven Nation Army on the list, great song.
- Yay for Midlake's Roscoe!! SUCH a great song.
