Today, I’m officially old.

There was a time (late 80s) when I’d look at the end of year NME charts and see how many of the albums I had (averaged around a dozen most years I guess).

From that new chart, i have heard of exactly *one*. Never heard them mind, just of them…

Of course, maybe I’ve just outgrown the NME… ;)

Out of the 50 listed i really could only pick maybe 5 tops . I tend to have a real dislike for this “inoffensive indie” sound that has been around for awhile , that sound just makes me think of car and ipod commercials . While some of the writing may not be terrible , it’s just not for me .

NME is so out of touch. This stuff sounds like the trends of two years ago.

I took a quick look at the list and the only one I know (and like quite a lot) is The Drums – ‘Lets Go Surfing’ on #49.

Perhaps not a new band but one I would expect on this list is the Two Door Cinema Club. Love their “Something Good Can Work” tune.

Then again, I’m so out of the loop I haven’t a clue about “best new bands”
