I know, I'm basic af.

In my defence, though, they're the one band that's had an influence on me more than any other - if it hadn't been for a few of their albums, I'd be nowhere into music as much as I am now.

Basically every new band I discover is linked to another band I already like, so it's just a constant cycle.

(And it's much more spread out than last year's...)

I was just pulling your leg

I used to listen to them too, when I was like 14. The first two albums only, though (39/Smooth and Kerplunk). That was fun.

The former I haven't listened to in ages, the latter is absolutely a good album. The first CD I ever purchased.

Listening to Kerplunk will be always associated to me with playing the first UFO:Enemy Unknown on a shitty computer in my living room and talking about this album with my best friend from childhood called Jozef who sadly passed away from a heart attack earlier this year.

If I used spotify regularly...it's be filled with a shit ton of Jpop now that they have more international artists on there.
