Impressive, it is nice to see some surprises. Usually these lists turn out to be most all of the pop "hits". Happy to have seen some deeper darker tracks on the list. TLDOS is a personal fave which I feel gets overlooked far to often. I would have expected to see ANLT, LGTB, WCIBY in the top 20...Way to go Poland!
ReplyDeleteLooks like the Polish people have some very good taste!
ReplyDeleteYes they do!
DeleteI'm surprised A Few Hours After This isn't on here. I mean with the reference to 'opposite Poles in a secret game' and all.
ReplyDeleteSorry.
Well played!
Delete"I'm A Cult Hero" is one of my fave songs !!!!!
