Re: AMF Top 1000 Albums of All Time (2023) Results!
- In general, our favourite albums seem to become "moderner" but I was surprised to see where that seems to have come - e.g. Blur, Amy Winehouse, Arctic Monkeys, Green Day, Coldplay. Wonder whether we're de-Pitchforkising... I think the influence of Pitchfork is on the wane in this forum,...
