15. Portishead: 'Machine Gun' (2008) - A brutal and punishing return from the Bristol band. Having spent many years out of the limelight and becoming associated with dinner party music, Portishead surprised everyone in 2008 with 'Machine Gun' - their heaviest track to date. Through Geoff Barrow's production and instrumentation a terrifying atmosphere is created in which a spectral like Beth Gibbons exorcises her demons to devastating effect. Any fears that Portishead had been lost to the middle ground were well and truly banished by this blistering track.

- 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.
