not to get too aspie...4 That Was The Week - That Was The Week
but i'm googling the albums i am unfamiliar with, and it looks like you've got this title all gnarled up
I have a habit of doing it, in reference to the pre-Monty Python show That Was The Week That Was. I've stupidly made the error on my EOY s/sheet and already copied it onto my EOY list in several places.
Also lol@ Aspie.

Probably not so much for Paul.

2. Make Model - Products Of Kin
I would have had this in my top 10 probably. Unfortunately it never got released and maybe never will.
This also would have been high on my list... same with Paul Steele. Shame...

am i the only one who liked the Ray Davies disc?
Had it on my expanded list. Morphine Song & You're Asking Me are classics. Voodoo Walk and Imaginary Man are also quite good.

5. The Plastic Constellations-We Appreciate You
6. Little Jackie-The Stoop
28. The Knux-Remind Me in 3 Days...
35. Yo Majesty-Futuristically Speaking...Never Be Afraid
Nice to see some love for Yo Majesty. The other three I haven't listened to. I know about The Knux, just never checked them out. What type of hip-hop is it?
The other two just sound really appealing so I think I will track them down solely because of their names.
