49. The War on Drugs - A Deeper Understanding
50. Wrongtom Meets the Ragga Twins - In Time
Eight of these were in my chart. Ones which might have been include Shabazz Palaces, Wire, Songhoy Blues, Nadia Reid and Ghostpoet. The usual suspects that appear on other lists irritate me, I don't quite see the appeal of Queens of the Stoneage and Roger Waters I find beyond the pale. Not a list in general that I go for much as it doesn't give off much of an idea of coherence and identity. The magazine itself of course is great!
