What do you mean ‘no’??
67 The Coral: Distance Inbetween
68 Radiohead: Moon Shaped Pool (fine, I’ll do it PROPERLY…)
As you’ve no doubt noticed, Radiohead are not only one of my absolute favourite bands, and have genuine claim to being one of the greatest bands ever to have existed
+40
At last count, they have been responsible for four absolutely scientifically qualified and objectively registered stone cold, genital spasming genius albums, which is more than such feted luminaries as The Beatles, Pixies and Joy Division, and the nations of Russia, Paraguay and Ireland

69 Saba: Bucket List Project
‘Bucket lists’ are forever changing, as we rarely hold the same ambitions for major lengths of time

If you asked me what was on my bucket list five years ago, I would have said I wanted to open my own English school in Xinjiang with the woman I loved. And maybe to quit drinking before it killed me

Cymbals Eat Guitars: Pretty Years
I’ve been hard on guitars so far, I know
-1

If ISIS rang and told me that they’d kidnapped my family and would brutally execute them all unless I started naming my favourite albums ever released, I’d first make clear my thoughts that their terrorism was in real danger of losing its edge and question how exactly such an exercise conforms to their particular vision of Islam, no matter how warped it is. I would then ask them to specify the order in which they would be executing my family, as if they’re going to execute Paula or Viscous-Smithweldy first I’m in no great hurry, but if Juicy Lucy <child services have a court order saying you’re not allowed to call her that anymore, please delete- Ed> is up for decapitation first then I’d be a little more urgent, as she’s already a looker- by far the fittest girl in her preschool- and I’m planning to profit on her comeliness later in her life, perhaps by getting her to advertise something with her top off. And then I’d ask who exactly they considered ’family’, as I’m not going to break my back for any ex wife or second cousin, or…
73 Topaz Jones: Arcade
Ho-hoo! Another brilliant albums! We’ve really stepped it up a gear now, haven’t we ladies and gentlemen!?
