Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

Listening to the All Songs Year End pod is an entertaining and yet frustrating endeavor as usual. Here are their picks for Album of the Year:

Sleigh Bells - Treats
Buke and Gass - Riposte
Kanye West - My Beautiful Dark Fantasy
Jonsi - Go

As usual, they've gone for the typically critic-friendly choices that leave me fairly cold. None of the four come close to my list in a year full of great albums.
