#983 Arcade Fire – Funeral

Arcade Fire‘s Funeral was released in 2004 to critical acclaim. They reached the top of the year-end charts and were nominated for a Grammy Award. The band had created modern day classic. I really do not remember any of these songs. I wonder why. I do not considered it a singles album, at least for […]

#969 The Thrills – So Much for the City
