  • Agree? Disagree? At least you can't blame us for this one ;)

god how over rated are johnny foreigner

and why skeletons so low?

Who won the CDs?

Nice to see Earth in there.

No Torche though, boo!

No Hold Steady ?

Criminal.

Pleased to see The Wave Pictures mentioned though

My Lord!

but we have good taste. Heh.

very

and why TVOTR so low?

Good work, us

I officially turned out to quite like the Bon Iver record after my mother played the entire thing on a car journey so I can't even whine about that being boring.

THIS LIST IS GOOD.

Crikey it is a good list, isn't it?

The best one I've seen in fact.

Freaking Bloc Party in there?

with that pile of bollocks. What? Johnny Foreigner?? Has the world gone mad? Bon Iver at No 1? Yeah its good but not that good...

It has flying lotus and the walkmen in it

and for that, I'm happy

That Bon Iver record's gash

And Johnny Foreigner, while quite fun live, are a desperately mediocre band.

moaning about omissions

on a list that we voted on is fucking ludicrous. please stop.

yeah, it's insane

"where is band x?!" LOWER DOWN THE CHART BECAUSE LESS PEOPLE LIKED THEM.

this is a brilliant chart, I want to try buy them all.

Pretty good

Even though you didn't include Frank Turner... I gotta say this is the best one of these lists I've seen so far. At least I've heard of +50% of the albums!

Props for including Mystery Jets too!

oh, I just assumed John Roberts was JohnM

yeah, he needs credit, the work that goes into this list is immense!

Ta for that,

btw

Nah, I'm John Mortimer

John Roberts is Brainlove's 'real' name but I think this is a different guy.

Also: Grouper - Dragging a Dead *Dear* Uphill? I need to improve my proof reading.
