Just great (& funny) guys too. You'd probably like the opener as well - Flower. |
They're always funny. I remember when they did a festival and some scruffy guys started to set up the equipment and then they picked up their guitars and started playing. I hadn't even recognised them.
I don't know about their last album though so good they played a lot from Bakesale.
I must admit I don't know Flower so I'll check them out. |
And those two new singles preceding their new album sound great and btw now listening to some Versus as well... |
Yeah. Versus were a GREAT indie rock band from the early 90s! I saw them play a bunch of shows in NYC.

Well as I post there are still 2.5 hours left before the noon deadline. Or do you mean two hours beyond that?

Well, I got roped into going Ikea (very much against my will). Should be home in half hour and I'll do it then. So about 90 minutes from now, realistically, if that's OK? No worries if not.

That's the perfect top ten for the year I think. No complaints from me.
Great to see Allo Darlin', John Grant & Wild Nothing so high!

Do we want to settle on a top 10, top 20, or top 25?
I like every album in that top ten, but I do feel that electronic and r&b albums in particular got the short end of the stick in these preliminary results.
Interested in everyone's thoughts and suggestions, regardless of whether you submitted a ranking.
