Something like…

  4. Holy Fuck
  5. Fiona Apple
  6. Laura Marling
  7. Haim
  8. Bob Dylan
  9. BC Camplight
  10. Soccer Mommy

A bit arbitrary in terms of picks and ordering towards the end but happy with that as a list. Would have had Lanterns on the Lake and Dua Lipa fairly high up if they’d made the cut

  1. Fiona Apple
  2. Laura Marling
  3. Neil Young
