As with whenever you have to make a list of your favourite *insert thing*, if you take too long about it, you drive yourself insane. If you’ve been asked to collate 20 songs from the past 20 years of God Is In The TV, thats one way of making sure you are still awake at 3am trying desperately to chose between the best from 2011 when also not choosing Laura Marling again.
So, here’s by no means an exhaustive list, it’s a knee jerk decision in some cases. But I’ll hang my hat on everyone.
