>>129868180>LOOK LOOK I HAVE GOOD TASTE PLEASE SAY I HAVE GOOD TASTE THIS IS WHAT YOU LIKE RIGHT?!?!?!
>>129868180Only good album is the Smiths.
>>129868365I Want to See the Bright Lights is better
>>129868180It's pretty good.
I don't understand how anyone can prefer songs about fucking over atomizer unless they never heard itThe drop off in quality is insane
>>129868180I watched a John peel doc on yt about a month ago, he kept all of his favorite singles in a box.He kept his favorite band's records in a completely separate box.His favorite band and the artists within his favorite singles are not in your pic, op.
>>129868180That top 3 is basically peak rock music if you actually know
>>129868921Very based and high quality post
>>129868180is there any documentation he highly rated all those albums when they first came out?I know Peel has a good reputation, but seems an awfully 'i have good (and avant garde) taste, don't I?' type list.
>>129868180Nothing by the fall? I thought he loved that band
>>129868180He said that list wasn't intended to be definitive, eg he had a separated room for The Fall records. His radio programs were a better indicator of his taste
>>129868180Pretty good taste, Elastica is crap though and is something only a Brit who failed to escape the hype could like
>>129868180Hipster fag garbage with a few token normal picks
>>129868180>Misty In Roots: Live At Counter Eurovision 79 (1979)>Wawali Bonané: Enzenzé>Dreadzone: Second Light (1995)>Four Brothers: Makorokoto (1988)>Dave Clarke: Dave Archive One (1996)Never heard of those
>>129870521Outside of TMR being #1 there's nothing avant about that list.
>>129868180Elastica? ffs
>>129873845DC5 was second biggest, close to biggest British Invasion band in 1964. but now are mostly forgotten to history.
>>129876785Mostly because the DC5 never tried to evolve as songwriters
>>129876785oops. I guess there is a Dave Clarke too. some techno guy.(I was about to give Peel props for listing a once popular but forgotten band, DC5, but it's his usual obscure shit.)
>>129876800I heard that Dave Clark had a smart recording contract, invested his big bucks from DC5 in owning some other media content (TV shows maybe) and decided didn't need the headaches of being a pop act anymore.Not sure if he wrote the songs tho. he was, as i'm sure you know, the drummer.
>>129876785>shine light on some literal who techno guy you think is a GOAT>people just mistake him years later for that other sort of famous Dave Clarklol.
>>129868180I expected more eccentric choices from a Brit who liked yodeling, Bob Wills and Hank Williams.
>>129876885he used to be fucking huge -- one of the first superstar DJs along with Jeff Mills and Carl Cox, but he didn't do anything noteworthy since the 90s
>>129868180>Courtney Love but no Lisa GermanoWtf?
>>129877659Even more unfortunate then.
>>129868180Literally who?
>>129868180Scaruffi mogs him
>>129877368As I said his radio programs are a better indicator of his faves >>129881512As musical sources he's much better than Mario bros
