Levis Posted December 23, 2012 Report Share Posted December 23, 2012 To be fair, I'm surprised nobody accused me of being a writer for Rolling Stone, given my obvious classicist rock and roll bias. Oh plz, almost everyone on SF could write for Rolling Stone, it's not exactly a cutting edge publication. It's well aware its income comes from baby boomers so obvs will cater to oldies. It's like how NME had its heyday back in Britpop times so only covers excruciatingly 'british' groups. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carl Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Good to see friends-of-Songfacts The Asteroids Galaxy Tour on your list (just glad you didn't stop at 40). If you want to give an old guy a chance, check out Bobby Womack's The Bravest Man In The Universe - the one with the gnarly hand album cover.

RockyRaccoon Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Ah I just realized that I forgot to put Beach House's "Bloom" in there. That'd probably go around 25ish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RockyRaccoon Posted December 31, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Good to see we agree on #1. We certainly do. Easily the best album of the year I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't know Asteroid Galaxy Tour were friends of Songfacts, they're great. And I'll have to check out Bobby Womack's album Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 The one absence I'm surprised by on your list is Celebration Rock by Japandroids. I'd have thought that they're right up your alley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd have thought that they're right up your alley. That would probably be because I never got the chance to listen to that album. But I will do so soon. I have it, just never got around to it. Though based on your list, it seems I should listen to it soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheLizard Posted December 31, 2012 Report Share Posted December 31, 2012 Definitely. It's anthemic rock and roll in an era where anthemic rock and roll is usually considered uncool. And somehow they tricked all the critics into liking it too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
