Some time ago this tweet was circulating in my twitter music circle.
No cheating - your Quietus style Bakers Dozen. 13 albums (off the top of your head) to know you by. Not looking for a perfect list, looking for a list that you instantly regret posting because you then remember something else.
I really wanted to make my list, too, wrote it in the notes app on one sleepless night, and then never posted it. So, here it is, roughly in the album release order ^-^
