Ha, it wasn't even the Springsteen to be honest, although that was some fair chunk of Springsteen...

I am well chuffed! I'm glad I got rid of all The Boss albums! Would no doubt get a 10 from OutlawPete though!

Eluvium are class, missed them when they supported EITS, most frustrating

Whatever about the Arctic Monkeys, I can barely read through this list without going back to DMX. Yikes.

Problem is, rest of the list isn't that bad. I'll give you a 4.9.

So many mounted up during a busy semester that I just ignored a load of them

You get a 3.4 because the list reminds me of a slice of brown bread thats been left out for a few days. I must eat this slice with no condiments whatsoever. Except traces of stuff I don't like... Like Bon Jovi sauerkraut or Brian Adams pickled beetroot chutney.
