As far as the records go, the main body of the survey only served to confirm how depressingly predictable consumers of supposedly alternative music really are. Radiohead were at number one (OK Computer) and number two (Kid A). Also in the top 10 we find similarly white, student friendly bands such as Arcade Fire, Neutral Milk Hotel, The Strokes and, well, Radiohead again. The only black artist who figures in any way significantly is well known “gay fish” Kanye West.
It was ever thus. In the late 19th century, the likes of Paul Morley and Ian Penman used to try and woo NME readers away from their tunnel-visioned devotion to The Jam and The Stranglers. It didn’t really happen.
