TR!ΔNGL€ T€€TH Posted March 19, 2010 Report Share Posted March 19, 2010 After hearing Steve Lamacq go on about this on 6 Music, I'd thought that I'd post it on here.If you could only have one album for each letter of the alphabet, what would they be? The letter designates the artist rather than the album title, and since I'm dead anal, "The" is removed from the the artist name, and solo artists are recognised by the surname rather than forename. Anyway, I spent some time at work coming up with my list (can't think of an X, so I'm possibly going to form a band called The Xylophones as I don't own any XTC or X-Ray Spex rekkids):A: Ryan Adams ~ HeartbreakerB: The Beatles ~ RevolverC: The Cars ~ The CarsD: The Decemberists ~ The Crane WifeE: Errors ~ It's not like something, but it is like whateverF: Frightened Rabbit ~ Midnight Organ FightG: Godspeed You!
