26.01.2026 01:18 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Fair point, when I asked Richard a few weeks ago what the plan was, I was thinking ’48-’62 and ’63-’69. But got to accept when he says the numbers aren’t there, so I did ’48-’62 while I was off sick a couple of weeks ago ☺️
26.01.2026 01:11 — 👍 0 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0Just to back up the boss, as well as being before most of us were born, pre-Beatles is mainly for the jazz fans so would attract a lot fewer participants. Better to do it this way and let those folk have a chance to vote for their favourites rather than just start with 1963-69.

Was wondering what you’re doing with the 60s? 60-64 & 65-69? Or including 50s jazz again?
Who’da guessed?! Already finished mine, assuming ‘Debut’ is classed as Björk’s debut solo album, rather than the one she did when she was 11?
03.01.2026 20:03 — 👍 2 🔁 0 💬 1 📌 0It just missed out on my top 5 so I’m biased!
Also, as a 60yo who listened to ~400Albums25, it’d be interesting to know how different it would look with more young ‘uns voting, given how poorly a few of the indie rock ones I liked did (Red Rum Club, The Royston Club, The K’s, The Sherlocks)…
There’s a cohort of voters that don’t really explore much new stuff unless it’s by acts they already like, so I reckon you’re more likely to get votes if you’re Suede/Pulp than if you’re Geese. Which means Getting Killed winning is as close to a consensus as you can get that it’s very good. 😊
