I did not know you were a fellow FJ Prissy Pants non-fan!!! Lol

And I CRJ in there. Far too low, IMHO.

I just find him a jerk and I don’t think that it being an act absolves that for me. It’s weird because musically it ticks a lot of my boxes but In actuality it really irritates me!

My favourite album of that year isn’t even on that list!

This year definitely had some MASSIVE albums that I expect to see on a lot of lists, but the deeper cuts were just as fantastic, if not moreso in certain ways. In the indie/rock/rap spheres, this definitely seems like one of the biggest and most exciting years of the decade - I could probably make a top 50 list, and who knows, I might end up doing that if I get bored this week :p
