6. Daughters - You Won't Get What You Want

(City Song)

Love this band, would put the self titled over this but glad someone mentioned them.

Sure, what the hell...I'll play. Shocking lack of diversity, but hey,  it's what I liked over the last decade and they're all still in regular rotation...not particular original or obscure, but that's me!

Albums...

1. Sufjan Stevens - Carrie & Lowell (absolute masterpiece from beginning to end)
2. Arcade Fire - The Suburbs (hard pressed to pick between this and Reflektor to be honest...love them both)
3. The Decemberists - The King is Dead (Decemberists, Peter Buck, Gillian Welch...what's not to like)
4. Broken Bells - Broken Bells (hoping they are back in 2020 in time for June!)
5. Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Push the Sky Away (just gets better and better, live and indoors takes on another life entirely)
6. Wilco - Sky Blue Sky (much maligned, but I love it, Nels can be a bit like marmite for Wilco fans, but on this, he worked for me)
7. The Magnetic Fields - 50 Song Memoir (ok, maybe not all 50, but there's 2 albums of magic in there)
8. Father John Misty - Fear Fun (again, hard pick, could just as easily be I Love You, Honeybear)
9. Alvvays - Alvvays (played this endlessly)
10. The War on Drugs - Lost in the Dream (everything just seemed to come together on this one)

Tracks...

1. Düsseldorf - Teleman (put on, put on your favourite song)
2. Hollywood Forever Cemetery Sings - Father John Misty
3. Bone Dry - Eels 
4. Red Eyes - The War on Drugs
5. This is Why We Fight - The Decemberists
6. Burning Jacob’s Ladder - Mark Lanegan Band
7. Reflektor - Arcade Fire
8. Archie, Marry Me - Alvvays
9. Should Have Known Better - Sufjan Stevens
10. Jubilee Street - Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds (look at me now!)

Jealous of the fuckers in 2099 who get to produce albums of the century lists, assume Earth is still a thing at that point.

Cheers! It’s a cracker alright. Great band, stumbled across them when they were Pete and the Pirates (also great!)...

Pete and the Pirates were really amazing. I played that Little Death album to death when I was at school.

Was out running earlier and Uptown Funk came on... I defy anyone to tell me it isn’t one of the biggest bangers of the last decade.

Come at me. I apologise for nothing.

I'll stick up for the Ronson / Mars track as well. Whilst Ronson cannot seem to keep it up for a full album, he's made a fist full of bangers this decade.

Seconded. Was watching Mark Ronson's Other performance of it with Blige,  Flash and Clinton the other day. Tune.

Was just looking for that clip. I was elsewhere but it looked like a ton of fun.

Cant find a bbc clip, but this one's pretty good.

Thinking about it this and the Winehouse track are the only specific moments that stick in the mind,  but the memory of that whole set is just having a blast. Was surprisingly good fun from start to finish.

I don’t know, the Late Night Feelings album isn’t bad at all.

Bump for this, another week to get your lists in. Will compile them next Monday and hopefully get them posted on Christmas Eve. So far I have lists from; @assorted, @lessthanwill1, @thrillhouse188, @Wooderson, @GrumpyRaver (albums only), @BlackZeppelin (albums only),  @jyoung (albums only), @a6l6e6x (albums only), @StevieGed (albums only), @JSmurphy, @hfuhruhurr (tracks only), @Toilet Duck.

If I missed anyone let me know (just a reminder that ´in now particular order´ aren´t counted unfortunately).

If it´s the case that we don´t have enough TOTD lists to compile a master list I´ll throw everything that´s been mentioned onto a spotify playlist and focus on the AOLD list.
