"It’s Not Going to Get Any Less Relevant, Is It?" Forty-four years after 'We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang' was released, LCD Soundsystem covered it, changing the lyrics “Reagan’s president elect – Fascist god in motion” to “The orange one is president – Fascist god in motion.” Being banned by the BBC is a badge of honour.

I LIKE (SOME) COUNTRY MUSIC! This was the most bland, formulaic, repetitive, pap that helps me understand why people hate it. If you want to hear some good contemporary country music try Laura Cantrell, Eilen Jewell, Jason Hawk Harris, Sarah Shook or Sturgill Stimpson

Ugh. So Neil Young really likes this band. OK. There's no escaping this man whilst listening to this damn list. He's my fourth most played artist on my Spotify Wrapped this year, and I only listen to him, and his wretched Extended Universe™, because of this bastard project. Fuck you, Robert Dimery.
