The Legit Bosses: Best Tracks of the Year (60-51)
60 Car Seat Headrest: Drunk Drivers/Killer Whales
God, I love this song, as underneath all it’s cool and intensely legitimate indie credentials it’s a great epic rock song the like of which G’n’R themselves would be proud to put their names to. I liked it when I first made this list too…

‘Lemonade’ is legitimately one of the greatest records released in my… 29 years of age, of which maybe I was paying properly close attention for 13 (once you take away the times I was either too young or too drunk and suicidal). Both musically, artistically and due to wider cultural impact, few records can seriously compete with this immediate masterpiece

50 Solange: A Seat at the Table
Top 50! This is almost a normal list!

Firstly, Pitchfork- that self-congratulating vomitorium that regards itself biblical text for hipster edgelords*- naming ‘A Seat at the Table’ as 2016’s best album is absolute bullshit

Not ‘in my opinion’ this or ‘controversial choice’ that, actual inarguable and scientifically objective bullshit

They realised that Solly’s sister Be-Be
was going to land high on many critics’ lists, so decided to swerve everyone with a hot take
