Good to see you didn’t go with GnR… 15 years waiting for a piece of shit. Maybe Axl and Grace Jones should have stayed in retirement.
But some notable mentions must go out to some old school: Tricky – Knowle West Boy.
Mercury Rev – Snowflake Midnight
As well as some not so old school:
The Black Keys – Attack & Release
Kings of Leon – Only by the Night
Cut Copy’s – In Ghost Colours
