the ones i did recognize are ones i actually like:
mitski – the only heartbreaker
willow — transparent soul
kacey musgraves — breadwinner
snail mail — ben franklin (valentine is superior tho)
japanese breakfast — be sweet
muna/phoebe bridgers — silk chiffon
silk sonic — leave the door open (i really like the whole album, don't @ me)

Date: 2021-12-07 10:50 am (UTC)i'd make a joke about how they don't deserve to be there but driver's license is 3rd so this list is worthless anyway
i did enjoy montero! it was fun. i even enjoyed butter after they added megan, i just don't think it's a top 50 material.

I’m glad Magdalena Bag got a spot, I love their music. Mercurial World is a fantastic album. I’ve grown to like Mitski quite a bit, and Wet Leg & Pom Pom Squad have a sound I don’t go for frequently but it has a vibe I find intriguing. Wet Leg’s Chaise Lounge and Too Late Now are interesting, I’m saving those.
