I love the two bottom new entries by Foster and Black Keys. Foster has great potential and Black Keys is gonna become a legend very soon imo :wink:

Yep, I am still so new to their discography. I suspect in the future Black Keys will definitely rank higher once I've really taken their work in.

Plus artists like Foster, Mayer Hawthorne, Florence, Mumford, etc... should definitely see gains in the future if they continue to make great music of the quality they're doing now.

Your vast list shows you are an experienced music listener. 8-)

Yoko is so underrated here, she really should be #1, you know I'm right. :wink:
