    I really did like the She&Him album, but I'd have to be fucking Zooey Deschanel and having M Ward filming it for me to give it a #1, and I'd want to change it after. Enjoyable album but not #1.

    To be honest, a lot of what I see listed here, I would d/l because magazines like this said I should, and then I like a few of them. These lists are pretty futile, since nobody's going to like anything near all 50 of these. But oughta be interesting to see how some other pubs rate things.

    Unlistenable?

    I think it's charming, if a tad anachronistic(?)

    From Hotlegs to 10cc to Godley and Creme, they had a nice run. Do they really have a box set?
