This would be my top 10
Song About An Angel
Seven
Guitar and Video Games
In Circles
How It Feels To Be Something On
J'nuh
The Rising Tide
Every Shining Time You Arrive
47
Friday
This list needs way more Diary. "Song About An Angel" would probably top my list and "47" would be up there as well. Also, how can you miss "Guitar and Video Games"?!
I always thought that Skeletal Lamping was underrated so it's nice to see it so high, though I'd personally give the #2 spot to Satanic Panic.
Lousy With Sylvianbriar or Gay Parade should definitely be in the top 5 over Paralytic Stalks.
Here's every band on this list ranked and a few that are missing (because, why not?)

John Darnielle of the Mountain Goats also weighed in on this today in a post on his tumblr

Agree that the premise here is completely flawed. Bands are supposed to strongly prefer their recent/current work, and it's only natural for them to have mixed feelings about their early material, but that doesn't mean it should be disregarded when looking at their career. Thom Yorke probably prefers the stuff he's doing now to The Bends / OKC, but that doesn't mean a top Radiohead songs list should not include anything before In Rainbows.
here's what my top 10 would be:
Temptation
Bizarre Love Triangle
Your Silent Face
The Perfect Kiss
Ceremony
Age of Consent
Regret
Blue Monday
Vanishing Point
True Faith
Pretty good list. Nice to see Bad Girls at #1 and the Emily Kai Boch videos.
Here's a shameless plug for my top 50 videos of the year, for the hardcore music video watcher:
