great dude!
ReplyDeleteGreat list! Much better than most I've seen (GvB's in particular made me want to vom & stop visiting their site). But I'm surprised that AnCo didn't make the top 50...CHz is a definite "grower," but it's a sold LP. Lonerism was actually a real disappointment for me. Two thumbs way up for Royal Baths/Wet Hair/Ty Segall Band making the cut though.
ReplyDeleteI probably just never let anco grow on me after I heard the low bit stream. GvsB list is just who he had at his 'fest' this year and who he wants next.
ReplyDeleteha, yeah, probably true (about chris). i didn't exactly let lonerism grow on me either; i'll have to give it another spin or two. also, i meant solid, not sold...eesh
ReplyDeleteThis is a great list. I have Ty Segall and White Fence and Moon Duo on my list as well. If you or anyone else is interested in checking out my list, you can find it here:
