I reckon that Panic at the Disco debut would make my top 50 for sure on recent plays not just nostalgia.

Hugely underrated band IMHO.
Agree that music chat on here can be great just wish some folks didn’t feel self conscious about it or made to feel self conscious tbh.
Also apologies for Simpson memes :grinning:

Same thing for Madonna by Trail of Dead I think, but I assumed it didn’t count…

OP specifies UK release date… going to have to make some revisions…

Oh no! I’ve a feeling I actually bought it (Madonna) in '99 though, as I have the US version on import, so it would feel wrong to include it. Rules are rules, on the other hand. Hmmm.

** I’ve seen some discussion upthread about whether to include such things RE:Brand New. As with the posters upthread, it would be disingenuous to ignore the impact it had on me, even if listening is fraught with significant baggage these days - feel free to remove it if we decide that’s how we’re going to play things

*** Might end up higher, genuinely in love with it at the moment… ask me in ten years or so

Sure I’ve forgotten something very obvious, but it’s late…

Agreed RE: Why? might be responsible for my favourite lyrics of all time, back from the cLOUDEAD days:

The whole thing really, but especially 01:11 - 01:55
