Given that Black Mirror is a track from Neon Bible, I’m going to guess that you meant Neon Bible here? :slight_smile:

Yep, you guessed right. Silly me.

What decade are we? I’ll do ‘90s again if we must…

The 90s is the only one you’ve done so far…so instead of doing it again, try doing the ones for the 70s, 80s and 2000s :slight_smile:

PS: This is the 2000s thread :grin:

The 00’s… the decade where it went badly wrong (and has never recovered)…

1 - James - Hey Ma
HM: End of Fashion - Book Of Lies, Andy Yorke - Simple, Panic At The Disco - Pretty Odd (PATD fans hated it… which is good enough reason to like it… sounds like a bunch of 20 year-olds having a ball and playing homage to the entirety of the 60’s… the sound of a band trying to shake off its fanbase, before reverting to type thereafter).

2009
3 - Editors - In This Light And On This Evening (everything they did after this sucked enormously)

With Love And Squlaor was 2005 if that earns it a placing. Couldn’t quite get it in mine.
