I’m a bit surprised by doing a swift nomination but it’s so deserving

Song Nomination
Robert Wyatt - Shipbuilding

A beautiful tune this, I think Costello’ lyrics are some of the finest there’s been, a stark reflection on really knotty subject matter and it’s performed with such feeling by Wyatt

Seconding a nomination is not a thing, but if it was, I’d be seconding this one hard.

(seconding a nomination hard is not a thing either, but if it was, etc)

Guessing / hoping someone else is going to go for Prince’s 1999 and the Bad Brains s/t, so album nomination is

Faith​/​Void by Faith / Void

One of the greatest and weirdest hardcore records ever. Faith side utterly rips and the Void side is just :exploding_head:
