    The best thing about people posting their lists is that everyone gets new albums to listen to/discover.

    Thanks! I liked your list a lot too. I liked both albums a lot. The Barnett/Vile album hit me instantly. The districts for me at first had some really good songs and some meh songs...... but over time and a few listens i really grew to like those others.
    I need to check out the Beck album i have not heard it yet. Also i like seeing the Orwells on your list. I have not heard that album yet but that band is so fun especially live.
