As always. Here’s mine. This was tough because I like so many of these acts. In the end I had to see where the most amount of affection was. These acts make music which resonates a little bit more than some of the others. It was hard…
For me it had to be Aphex Twin as my winner.
Just cos it’s Sunday night and I am blanking out the prospect of work tomorrow, my top 5 in the Cup Winner’s Cup wouldn’t have made my own Top 5 (but probably might have been in my next 5).
Cocteau Twins
The Sundays
Kate Bush
Twilight Sad
Radio Dept
