I’ve just finalised our list to publish tomorrow (just checking it twice, etc). There are hopefully a few surprises in there alongside some obvious choices. What do you predict will be number 1 or is likely to make the top 10?
I’ll be hosting a special of our - now monthly - radio show from 2pm on Soho Radio tomorrow talking about the list and revealing the top 5. Tune in from 2pm online at http://www.sohoradiolondon.com/ or using their app or if you have Sonos using the TuneIn Radio option Soho Radio - Soho | Free Internet Radio | TuneIn
I wouldn’t prefer anything tbh Sean as then it would be my list as opposed to this website’s. I’m probably not representive of the kind of clientelle that would be reading this list normally though I just didn’t see much there that I haven’t seen in most other similar websites.
Cringing at Bowie being at the top of lists. I can ALMOST see why someone would give it an 8 (Andre’s score) if they were considering his legacy and the fact it is slightly innovative, and if they were feeling generous, but it’s really weird that people are pretending it’s one of the best of the year just because he passed away.
It’s really brilliant, I know you’re not hugely into hip-hop but I think you’ll find something to take from it for sure. I was legit expecting to see it high up in a lot of lists this year as it’s got the added benefit of fitting some very relevant and zeitgeisty “narratives” as well (which is way more a reductive sentence than I want it to be) but I’ve not seen it in many so far.
Yeah, I’ve given it a once through and enjoyed it. I suspect I might like her as a guest spot artist more than an album in her own right artist (same as I feel with Danny Brown tbh) but I’ll definitely go back to it.
