This is the one that is sad. Days is more or less my favourite guitar-led LP of the decade but its reputation is now pretty fucked. Shame.

by **Ddiamondd** » Sun Jul 14, 2019 11:08 am

non-album but would be a top tier single. decade intermittently dominated by Terje, Lindstrøm, Prins, Sotofett, Legowelt – all the squiggly fellas

Yeah.

"Squiggly decade" will stick with me

There's a real good squiggly collage on redacted (nu-disco)

As the person who has been doing the end of the year, yearly lists, we should coordinate them so they come out in a way that can highlight one another and not kinda step on one another. (I may be being too precious with my own lists importance here, tho)

Top 20 releases of the 2010's
