i've got quite a narrow mind musicwise, but my top 5 albums would be:
The wombats - a guide to love, loss and desperation
To my boy - messages
Little man tate - about what you know
Arctic Monkeys - Favourite worst nightmare
Maximo Park - Our earthley pleasures
edited to emulate the mighty lebowski
I have this mega problem with regional accents being pushed in vocal delivery - Each to his/her own though! Fraid I couldn't listen to more than 30 secs of the X-ray one - Phew!
Siouxsie Sioux - Here Comes That Day
(Recently used by the BBC to advertise its Xmas 'gems'
NMH
I dont get put off by the accents, but it does get a bit irritating after a while il give you that. It just seems that if your a band from sheffield or a solo female artist from london your guranteed a record deal, which is abit stupid.
I am x-ray is probably my favourite song of the year! your obviously not down with it
axs: the wombats are very good. make really catchy music. suprised you haven't heard them alot though, they've been raped to death in the media recently
