Very interesting choice, almost everyone would choose their debut over their sophomore. I'm curious why you chose that one when, as you said it yourself, your list is very typical.

1. The Fall - The Real New Fall LP
2. The Fall - Fall Heads Roll
3. The Fall - Reformation Post TLC
4. The Fall - Imperial Wax Solvent
5. The Fall - Your Future Our Clutter

What a great decade it's been.

its just a fairly standard list isnt it?

favourite worst nightmare is incredible, it has the perfect mix in my eyes. short catchy indie pop songs in the first half, perfectly built up songs with crashing guitars in the second half. It also has 'if you were there beware' and '505' two of my favourite songs ever.

1. Radiohead "In Rainbows"
2. The Antlers "Hospice"
3. Arcade Fire "Funeral"
4. The National "High Violet"
5. We Were Promised Jetpacks "These Four Walls"

I don't consider Radiohead to really be an indie rock band, but they were mentioned so why not...

They aren't indie, but they sort of sounds like an indie rock band.
