NME's 50 Greatest "Indie Anthems"
Britain's XFM and NME have joined forces to bring you their user poll, counting down the 50 greatest anthems in "indie" rock (criteria? your guess is as good as ours). You could try and guess which band delivered the #1 single ..... or you could take the over/under on the number of Oasis tracks to make the cut, which we've set at 5. Good luck!
