Excellent list. Weird how our listening habits as a forum have evolved so much from being an Oasis forum. I've no idea if live forever board does a similar thread but theres no chance they would have a list anywhere near as diverse as ours.

I find it so bizarre the Soapy collectively lost its shit over that Carseat Headrest album. So fucking beige.

I also listened back to that Goat album recently for the first time in a long time. It’s alright, but sounds very patchy.

Interesting, looking at my list, 2011 is very over-represented in the top 50 as well, but with a lot of different albums. That was a great year.

I'm like 3 years late to Stella Donnelly but she's been announced as a replacement to Japanese Breakfast (

) at Primavera Porto and I'm loving everything I've heard so far (

)

She's cool. There's a couple of songs on her debut that I'm obsessed with. When I saw her live at Glastonbury it was OK, a little safe and plodding. But I'm looking forward to her new record. Kinda sad that I was slow getting into her, Barnett & Julia Jacklin. I'd have liked to see them all do the shithole venues but they all seem to play 2000 and above venues now which I often can't be arsed with.
