by Staff & Eddie Argos | 00.00.0000

Wrote a list, he wrote a list! Look at him, he wrote a list! Art Brut frontman Eddie Argos has given us his top ten list of the year and it’s a good one. Fortunately, Argos wasn’t too busy releasing and touring the band’s debut album Bang Bang Rock & Roll in the U.S. to discover some great music this year. Here’s his top of the pops:


Eddie Argos of Art Brut

1. Luke Haines, Going Off My Rocker At The Art School Bop (Degenerate)
Eddie: Amazing album pop songs about Gary Glitter and the Yorkshire Ripper, he's turned into Denim on record and Jonathon Richman live, perfect.

2. Denim, Back In Denim (re-issue) (West Midlands)
Eddie: I've wanted this album for years, "I'm against the 80's" and "American Rock" are the best songs on it, novelty protest songs.

3. The Research, Breaking Up (EMI)
Eddie: If this album hadn't come out this year I would have pretended it did just to put it on this list.

5. The Mountain Goats, Get Lonely (4AD)
Eddie: My favourite band.

6. The Hot Puppies, Under A Crooked Moon (Fierce Panda)
Eddie: Ian and I saw them in a pub playing when we were both really drunk and thought they were amazing,it was a lovely surprise when we listened to their demos the next day and they were.

7. Jarvis, Jarvis (Rough Trade)
Eddie: sounds to my ears quite a lot like the last pulp album,i really like the last pulp album.

8. We Are Scientist's, With Love And Squalor (Virgin)
Eddie: They are Art Brut 47, we are We Are Scientist's too.

9. The Spinto Band, Nice And Nicely Done (Bar/None Records)

10. Warlords Of Pez, Warlords Of Pez (Trust Me I'm A Thief)
