I did not like the no.1 album but that is not the point! Had a great time doing this and will do it again next year! And I hope you got some ideas about new music this year. On another post, the best albums of the decade.

  1. or what it's worth i liked your album choices that made it here (plus girls, lily allen, muse). all the rest i don't even know (and have a sneaking suspicion that - for most - their only merit is being the choice of pretentious little twats)

  2. Thanks! I agree with you for some of the albums being picked because they have a "status" in the music afficionados world but I don;t think they are that many.
