Re: Top 10s of the last 5 years for non DiS staff
I'm not that fussed on Bright Eyes - just heard his live album and it sounds good but I just don't like most of what he does. The distaste started with the song 'Lua'.
Sufjan is alot of people's I like his voice - not got round to buying yet.
I'll stay out of this on account of the effort involved and a remote memory.
