it's better than being inspired
by mythical beasts that give under bridges.
You're going to kick yourself when that timeless classic comes out in November and you have to redo this
And when you realise that 2 of the 10 best albums from this period of time
Are in your reserve list.
I think
you both have too much time on your hands
YAWN
Was compiling the list as boring as reading it?
occasionally i get reminded of just how twatty dis can be.
sigh.
i mean the replies
Hello!
Twatty flippant replies are fun though. Who wants to read someone railing against homogenous typical indie music tastes or ranting about how all lists are shit when we can just hav nice throw away comment instead.
24 of those would be in mine
but there are some more I know will grow on me. Great list.
good god
that was dull
can we just sticky a "list music" thread?
you'd probably knock out about 50% of the content on the music board but it'd be helpful to get all the dispassionate listing in one place
i like lists
Get
a job.
what's with all the dickhead comments
