Agreed

Lino, great work, but you're gonna need a recount. I haven't posted the rest of mine yet either



Cigarettes In Hell is still a gem (archer, not). The rest of the bottom 20 is spot on although admittedly got a soft spot for Getting Older and the demo of Carry Us All is majestic. Who Feels Love should have made the top 20, disgusting.

Are we doing one for Neutral Milk Hotel next?

I’m happy to update the totals if more scores are posted. More comments would be good too.

Note - This incorporates my previous marks so shouldn't spoil your spreadsheet.

Noted. Very generous on Magic Pie.



You forgot She is Love. How could you?

1/10.

On par with THT? Interesting.

Hate The Hindu Times. Liam's vocals are like a cartoon version and the guitars annoy me as well. It sounds like a pastiche of early-Oasis made by someone who thinks they are sort of alright.

Be Here Now era really did have amazing stompers - My Big Mouth, IHITIK, Sister Lover, Fever, Stay Young, BHN, and Gettin' Better Man. I'd rate all of these tunes 8 or better. Fookin' aye.

Just rewatched the video - Noel reminds me of Carbone from Goodfellas.
