Common People was number 1 in Pitchforkā€™s list as well.

I like the song, terrific party song but no way is it the best of the 90s.

Delighted to see Suede in the Top 10.

Sure itā€™s exactly the same stuff they were pushing in the 90s. Britcentric, britpop centric. Uninspiring.

@ChocolateMice @Elvis_Brandenberg_Kr @KinvarasPassion - during a quick search to see if anyone had posted this already, you three appear to appreciate this sort of music. It was shared with me a while ago by my uncle. His wife passed away 3 years ago and itā€™s clear he lost the biggest part of his life. Not sure why Iā€™m saying all this, so Iā€™ll stop now. Guy Clark gents - Dublin Bluesā€¦

I always liked this album but over the last couple of months I have come to the opinion that it is an all time great. A kaleidoscope of all types of music and thrown together with minimal production and a lead singer who is clearly a bit nuts.

Nitzer Ebb - Let Your Body Learn - blends elements of punk with electronica to give a real industrial sound.
