One of the smallest headliner crowds I've ever seen at R&L. Also, when they reunited they subbed Arcade Fire. It was a second reunion though. They went away for another four years though after 2010 and came back to nearly sell out Hyde Park. Maybe spreading themselves across BST, TITP and a Glasto guest slot was a bit much but at the time it seemed justified. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They were never that big when they were at their peak with Up The Bracket anyway, just the media circus surrounding their breakup and then Pete Doherty's antics piqued a lot of people's interest in them. Not trying to make them sound bigger than they are although I think the lack of sell outs wasn't helped by the pricing. Always been a fairly big fan and wanted to see them but standing was around £70 each if I can remember. That was an instant nope for me. Definitely a band far past their peak popularity regardless.

Some businesses were reportedly being briefed that a return to normalcy could be 2-3 years away (granted that was prior to the latest vaccine news, so fingers crossed that was a worst-case scenario that is no longer applicable). To go from not being allowed to mix with anyone outside your household in November 2020, to 100K people in a field together at a music festival in August 2021 without restrictions would take a borderline miracle turnaround. I'm very much hoping that by next summer the misery of this year is becoming a distant memory, but I'm definitely not getting my hopes up yet - we're still a long way from being out of the woods of this pandemic.

CG31 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Having been chucked into self isolation, I have decided to compile my AOTY list, either top 42 albums (specific I know) or 100, undecided as of yet. I am however branching out massively. I went back a few pages to the latest round of lists and Ive taken down all the names people have said as well as using a website which has ranked all of this years releases. I will most definitely be here for some time, but a couple of questions. Is there any exceptional albums that people don't think have been mentioned? and KIWANUKA was released this time last year, is it cheeky to give it the number 1 spot? (because it is fucking epic) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a hell of a lot of albums and placing an album after 1,2,3,4 listens, isn’t enough to place it, in my experience. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s a hell of a lot of albums and placing an album after 1,2,3,4 listens, isn’t enough to place it, in my experience. I mean at this point I'm tempted to do 42 properly, because I'm pretty sure ive listened to enough to do that, and slowly work my way through a few more. I think I'll get a rough guess of my feelings on an album at the start, but i think anything i havent listened to before would go below the ones i have if that makes sense Like take RTJ 4 for example, I've listened to all the songs a few times at different points, never in full, that i think is good enough to be able to get an idea on ranking Edited November 24, 2020 by Gerard the Fab Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do yeah ofc, I have a rather large CD collection and I listen to those in full. But like if there’s a playlist on Spotify it doesn’t have full albums. I do try but sometimes I get slightly bored and just listen to the most listened song, very poor I know Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be a better indication of the albums you actually know and love inside out this year I do a top 20 each year and struggle whittling that down. I can’t even imagine attempting doing 100 albums I keep notes throughout the year and usually start thoughtfully putting my 20 together at the end of October and settle on it early December.

Jericode Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 Yeah I'd struggle to get a Top 20, Top 100 is mental no matter how bored you are. Even at 20 I'm adding 5 or so I've barely listened to. I come to the same conclusion every year that I don't find enough albums I like, and then every year I don't really go out of my way to find more.

CG31 Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 In many ways, trying to narrow down a top 25/30 into a top 20 list AND rank them is just as hard as finding 100 albums 😂😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
foolee Posted November 25, 2020 Report Share Posted November 25, 2020 I always try and do a top 10-20 and always find narrowing it down almost impossible. I'll look back at my list after 6-12 months and be like why is that in the top 10 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
