I can appreciate your taste in music. I especially connect with your nod to SAW 1, Geogaddi, Sigur Ros etc.
What I can’t appreciate is your view of OKC as being overrated, especially when I see how highly you rate Parachutes by Coldplay 😂 But I guess you managed to draw me to your chart so the least I can do is give my positive feedback to go with my extreme misgivings in your assessment of an album that I adore.
