Since everyone is posting lists and my Konstantiranks still has much work to do before it's finalised here is Rough Trade's Top 100. I find Rough Trade to be as close to my tastes as anyone but I'm about 50/50 on this list. Brakes at number 1 seems a tad odd and I don't know either why there is no number 93.
