In what way?
Genuine question btw
Guardian has been down to the bone on their cultural coverage for a few years now and I think it’s interesting they’ve tried to keep music coverage relatively youthful facing, would have been more obvious to stick to the Q demographic imo.
Not sure what’s so good about Wet Leg. I don’t think they’re rubbish, just don’t see what’s so good about them.
Definitely on board with their top pick though.
Conclusion: Different people have different taste.
Not particularly surprising but I haven’t heard a single one of these tracks 
Not to speak for @AttackDuck but as I said the same basic thing above - I don’t really mean it as a criticism. It’s just what I’d expect - a little less oblique than the Wire might publish, a little bit more credible (in the sense of people who talk seriously about Pop Music) than something like the NME might publish. That’s their space in the conversation.
(Don’t think their natural space is the Q demographic either - middle class liberals love to think they’re culturally on the button!)
As far as ‘slightly disinterested almost spoken word vocal over the top of a pulsing post-punky riff’, I’d have gone for scratchcard lanyard by dry cleaning over the wet leg track
I think it came out in 2020
Cheers. Interesting.
I feel with the Guardian there is so little coverage it’s actually difficult to gauge if there is any kind focus. I mean apart from Alex Petridis just kind of doing his thing.
Oh shit yeah. 19 November. End of year list purgatory
My take away from that list is the Pearl Charles track. Love it. Imagine if that had been the Abba comeback single. Need to check out the album now.
Really happy to see Like I Used To placing high. Feels like years since that was released (20th May according to Wikipedia) and I was worried it’d get overlooked. Would be nice if they gave it a physical release at some point….

The real news here is that the Guardian has 31 music writers.
Excuse my ignorance - who’s that?
It’s lovely isn’t it? New one on me too.

Very nice
I don’t really pay attention to singles so I miss out on what is zeitgeisty. I guess these annual round ups are a chance for me to try and catch up a bit, so always interested to hear views.
Non-English language stuff is always a bit of a void in the eoy lists isn’t it, unless something happens to really hit that venn point of critical acclaim and popularity.
yes but what do you think of top 20 lists? 
Twice as silly
Bunny Is A Rider is a really amazing song though
