gene's 2021 gigathread. shit's going down
So here we are, the shitty year 2021 has been over for some time and yours truly, the Gene "someone", is ready to publish his list of faves, after the longest time of deliberation and uncertainty, sporadic catching up, various growers and declines, here it is. the beast, the monster, the list, my baby and my demise. |
| 101 |  | Alice Cooper
Detroit Stories
I was also considering putting together a Worst Of list, but my decided against it, seeing as my worst picks are not your usual suspects, but just the stuff that bored me (some schmo with a guitar making tedious music for example). I was ever going to listen to the new Coldplay or Maroon 5 or Walker Hayes or whatever. So just for those actually curious, here's my least favs of the year (descending order):
5. Barbarossa - Love Here Listen
4. Max Bloom - Pedestrian
3. Elektroforez - 303
2. Joshua Radin - The Ghost and the Wall
1. Alice Cooper - Detroit Stories |
