shit I forgot Big Science! #26 then.

Glice · 10.22.2008, 04:12 PM

I've not finalised my list yet, but why do so very many people think Branca's Lesson #1 is any good? I mean, in comparison to the rest of his stuff (apart from theoretical girls) it's turd, let alone in comparison to music in general

YOU'RE ALL WRONG.

davenotdead · 10.22.2008, 04:19 PM

if Branca makes my list, it'll be for Ascension

lechaoscestmoi · 10.22.2008, 04:20 PM

I know this is classic prickery, but have you heard the stuff that followed, and do you really think Lesson No 1 is as good as it? If so, I have no complaints, I just think it's very much like preferring something bad to something good by a band that are capable of being very good indeed.
