Wow, only record on this list I’ve hear in full is the Beach House album, and I’ve just tried listening to the number 1 on this list and found it to be not to my taste at all.

I must be lame huh?

Yeah I’m not taken with this song either, Wrecking Ball has much stronger songs than this. Last time I cringed at a song on a Springsteen album this much was Skin To Skin on The Rising.

I don’t get why Bruce chooses to highlight this so much over some of the others – it was his Record Store Day release and it’s in virtually every set of his tour so far.

I’d much prefer him to have something like We Are Alive as a single.

Changing “I’ll take care of you” to “I’ll watch over you”, real subtle. Don Draper’s rolling in his figurative grave.

I got Best Coast and Summer Camp confused at one time, what with the guy/girl dynamic and their sunshine-y names.

I’m sure there’s a Coachella joke in this somewhere, but my mind is drawing a blank at the minute…

“feels like i heard this album before a million times already. its just TOO familiar sounding, i duno.”

Um, maybe it’s familiar sounding because it sounds like a Beach House record?

Bloody hell, I didn’t realise “Love to Love You Baby” has so many moans in it!

Such a fearless performer. Completely and utterly without peers. RIP, will be sorely missed.

Remember Bruce’s SXSW keynote, where he pointed out the songs “We Gotta Get Out Of This Place” had inspired? I’m willing to bet he this was the inspiration for “My City Of Ruins”. Maybe it’s just the organ and the horn section at the end of the chorus that make me think of that song.

The ’59 Sound came out the year I started university and discovering a whole tonne of music, and it’s definitely one of my favourite records.

Oh God holy typo, I obviously meant American Slang.

Dafuq happened to Michael_ when reading that Torches review?

Too right it is. That one song being The One I Love is even more suspect. If they could only put one R.E.M. song on this list I’d have wished they’d have gone for something like Radio Free Europe or Fall On Me.

Agreed on all counts, American Slag was by no means an abject failure but it felt too much like a retread of The ’59 Sound except a bit lacking in energy, which is something I can’t accuse this song of. What an absolute barnstromer, really excited to hear the rest of the record now.

I can’t blame her, LMFAO are the absolute shits. Can’t stand them and this whole stupid “Sorry for party rocking” thing. That’s not even a thing! It’s just something you’ve made up!! You’re just taking two words that aren’t necessarily mutualyy exclusive and putting them together for no reason!!!

What, do you eat everyone’s food in catering then go “sorry for feast munching”, or dance your ass off at a gig and go “sorry for rave moshing”.

Also I heard one of them actually speak, and he literally sounded like S.Mouse from Angry Boys.

Perhaps you should do a list of the top 50 comments of the year, then see if that gets the same reaction to all these album of the year lists.

I HATE how in that cover Orlando Weeks is referred to as “Orlando Maccabees”, I find this convention of using the name of someones band like their last name irritating (Jamie XX, Alex Metric etc), it’s just a lazy way of saying “Orlando from The Maccabees”.

Nobody calls Ian Brown “Ian Stone Roses” or Jarvis “Jarvis Pulp”. Oh christ I hope I haven’t given anyone any ideas…
