Sort of like the iconic female vocal bands of the 1990s, except better.

I've also been playing this non-stop....got all the remix EP's too, which had other tracks just as good as what made the album.
I'm obsessed with Monkey Business and Burning the heather.

The only one that matters.

I'm listening to that La Roux album now. Good stuff!

Morrissey is no longer en vogue these days, but, if you can get past his real-life political tabloid stuff, the brand new album is pretty good.

[Vangeli]

Easily Dua Lipa’s Future Nostalgia. If you like disco, retro, 80’s, 90’s, 00’s pop, it’s just a blast. There are no skips.

If you don’t start moving to this one then clearly you’re broken:

Okay, now we’re rolling...

The original lineup of the Los Angeles punk band, X, has just released their first new album in 35 years, Alphabetland. I’m listening to it right now and loving it. We need this band more now than ever.

X - Alphabetland

If the new song from The Psychedelic Furs is any indication, then their album will probably shoot up to the top in May.

Nice Thread, I am making a list of albums to listen in 2037. This thread will be handy, thanks for creating it.
