  • 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

    lyserge | 17 Sep '09, 15:40 | X
    • And when you realise that 2 of the 10 best albums from this period of time

      Are in your reserve list.

      vamos @lyserge | 17 Sep '09, 15:50 | X
      • I think

        you both have too much time on your hands

        european_son @Saint_Cronin | 17 Sep '09, 15:56 | X
      • YAWN

        Was compiling the list as boring as reading it?

        Thought_Dreams | 17 Sep '09, 15:57 | X
      • occasionally i get reminded of just how twatty dis can be.

        sigh.

        Nestor | 17 Sep '09, 16:14 | X
        • i mean the replies

          Nestor @Nestor | 17 Sep '09, 16:14 | X
        • 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.

          Thought_Dreams @Nestor | 17 Sep '09, 19:14 | X
      • 24 of those would be in mine

        but there are some more I know will grow on me. Great list.

        SCROTUM | 17 Sep '09, 16:16 | X
      • good god

        that was dull

        tv_party | 17 Sep '09, 16:54 | X
      • 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

        lazerlife | 17 Sep '09, 19:19 | X
      • i like lists

        champo | 17 Sep '09, 19:19 | X
      • Get

        a job.

        disappearingboy | 17 Sep '09, 20:21 | X
      • what's with all the dickhead comments
