What kind of scale and scoring system are we using here, bruv? I'm confused and trying VERY HARD not to kick off about assumed issues with the list.

Same as the last few years AKA The Barny System. 30 points for 1st down to 1 for 30th.

Right. That makes sense. My only question is why the fuck do we do a top 40 then? But that is another question for another time. Keep up the good work.

Great work fuzzy though I think the top ten should be revealed in a krburg style video so we get to find out who the fuck you are.

I second that.

No videos this year I'm afraid. However, I will be injecting something different into proceedings, for better or worse.

Was expecting a top 10 for Baxter

Great work! Wondering if I'll have any pick of mine in the top10 besides Diamonds

I'm pretty sure on 7 of them. For example, Dwayne has yet to air his massive head. Pretty excited to see the missing three and the order.

Incredible really that PJ Harvey didn't make anyone's top 30.

Just goes to show the impact and trauma being approached by sully in the supermarket must have had on her.

The top 10, in association with our future AI overlords.

10: Billy Nomates - CACTI - 63 points - 3 votes



AI Hulk Hogan/Bobothy has this to say:

"Whatcha gonna do when these 24 inch pythons come out to talk about the most electrifying woman in indie rock today - Billy Nomates?! Her album 'Cacti' is so intense brother, it'll put you through every table, ladder and chair in the building jack!

Billy may get a little riled up on Twitter sometimes but man, when she controls the narrative in her songs she's stronger than a hundred million Hulkamaniacs. And you can dig that daddy-o! "

9: Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds - Council Skies - 69 points - 3 votes
