LCD Soundsystem

Which year? I've just caught up with an Eno album from the 70s that I've never heard before. These things take time.

God almighty what I have to deal with on here? I can visualise them sniggering away like 5 year olds!

Is there a Top 10?

Manchester's Piccadilly Records published their end-of-year review yesterday - the usual fantastic book, packed with reviews and highlights. Well worth picking up if you're in the vicinity, but it's readable online too. Their AOTY is Kelly Lee Owens' self-titled debut.

One of mine too.

Kelly Lee Owens? Nice enough voice but boring album. Nothing new here.

You bought that Rag n Bone Man album though.

And Mojo's album of the year too.

I did. After several listens I'd say it's average.

Your point is?

I totally agree with the choice. LCD Soundsystem is the whole package: great songs, great lyrics, great performances. Body and soul in unison. You can easily hear all their influences but somehow they (well, he, it's really James Murphy) make something so unique.

It's bloody great. Just listening to their No 2 choice Nadia Reid; wonderful. Women singer-songwriters are one of the best things in popular music just now (actually for a while). St Vincent, Angel Olson, Jane Weaver, Molly Burch and Courtney Marie Andrews to mention a few.

I saw Wolf Alice live about 3 years ago, they were very poor.

either something's wrong with the nme website, or there's a 90 way tie for 11 place.
