1. Portugal. The Man – Feel It Stillwww.youtube.com/watch?v=pBkHHoOIIn8Peak Position: 1 A prime example of what I little exposure can do, Portugal. The Man have never had a top 100 charting single and Feel It Still missed the top 100 when it was released but after advertisements for the Apple iPad Pro,Vitamin Water, YouTube TV and in the first and second trailers for the 2018 film Peter Rabbit, the track reached the top 10 in 17 countries including Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Germany, New Zealand, Norway, Portugal, Slovenia, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. and In January 2018, the song won the Best Pop Duo/Group Performance at the 60th Annual Grammy Awards and off the back of that it has been in the top 5 in the UK ever since peaking at #3 in the UK. Probably my most commercial number 1, I charted Feel It Still on March 10th 2017 and it spent 3 weeks as my number 1, last week March 16th 2018 it peaked at #3 in the UK singles chart, better late than never I guess

The Man songs, hopefully people check out there back catalogue That's just it though, it doesn't sound the least bit alternative. Heard it twice on the radio yesterday and its just wallpaper to me. just sounds like typical 2017-18 pop music but without the guest rappers. I actually think the re-issued new single 'Live In The Moment' is way way better. I know I am the one that's wrong though

I know I am the one that's wrong though Its all subjective, I do like Live In The Moment, that also spent 3 weeks as my number 1, its just nice to see a bit of crossover, it could be the thing to spark a bit of interest in "proper bands"

64. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard – Murder of The UniverseThe Australian psychedelic rock band that formed in 2010 in Melbourne have released 3 more albums since Murder of The Universe in June 2017. Murder of the Universe is a concept album split into three separate stories, each containing elements of spoken word to carry a narrative.The first two chapters feature Leah Senior's narration, while NaturalReader's "UK, Charles" text-to-speech application narrates the final chapter. The first chapter, The Tale of the Altered Beast, explores themes of temptation and tells of a human who stumbles on a mystical human/beast hybrid dubbed the Altered Beast. The story starts with the pursuit of the human being, who slowly takes an interest in the idea of being altered – something considered taboo in the human's society. The perspective then changes to the Altered Beast itself, who is filled with murderous intentions. Confronted by the Beast, the human experiences a craving for power and slowly succumbs to the temptation of becoming altered. Accepting their mutual fate, the beast and human merge, creating a newly altered beast, who now craves even more flesh. However, the Altered Beast suffers greatly from absorbing another consciousness – it loses track of its identity and eventually dies of insanity, decaying into the earth. The second chapter, The Lord of Lightning vs. Balrog, focuses on a big battle between two entities dubbed The Lord of Lightning and Balrog, who represent the forces of light of darkness, respectively. The chapter starts with a foreword from the perspective of a storyteller who recalls the battle. The action begins with the track "The Lord of Lightning," which is about the general destruction caused in a town by lightning fired from the entity's finger. He is perceived as evil and malevolent by the townsfolk. However, when he fires lightning at a corpse, it is somehow reanimated as a creature known as Balrog. This creature chooses to ignore the Lord of Lightning, and instead wreaks further havoc on the townspeople. The Lord chooses to fight the Balrog and confronts him, eventually leaving him as a burning corpse. The Lord of Lightning immediately departs, choosing not to harm the townsfolk anymore. The third and final chapter, Han-Tyumi & The Murder of the Universe, is about a cyborg in a digital world who gains consciousness and, in confusion, decides to strive only for what a cyborg cannot do: vomit and die. He decides to create a creature dubbed the "Soy-Protein Munt Machine" whose only purpose is to vomit. When the creature rejects his love, Han-Tyumi decides to merge with the machine, which causes it to lose control. This machine explodes and infinitely expels vomit, which eventually engulfs the entire universe: and so the universe is murdered. You have to give it a whirl, my favorite album by them was 2015 Paper Mâché Dream Balloon which was recorded on a farm using only woodwind instruments and is truly genius but this one is up there too Lord of Lightning v Balrog www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rd3vwwXArMQ&t=607s

60. The Chain Gang of 1974 – FeltFelt is a studio album by American musician Kamtin Mohager, released under his indietronica moniker, The Chain Gang of 1974. The fourth studio album by The Chain Gang of 1974, it was the second album released under a major label on June 23, 2017, through Virgin Records subsidiary Caroline Records. The album, described by Mohager as the most "honest" album he's created, represents a change of the Chain Gang's sound to a more pop-centric approach, detailing the personal experiences of Mohager and "the feelings of [his] past". The album's sound is the result of Mohager being exposed to new sounds during his time writing songs outside of the Chain Gang, in the years following the successful Daydream Forever.
