I just need to say, as an obsessive music listener, it brings me REAL joy that James gets to talk about Music with people who love music too.
I’m not used to this side of James. The calm and collected side that is.
Colin's brain and hands have crafted some of the most iconic basslines of all time. Dollars & Cents is my favourite.

Wonderful to hear him talk for so long, I have been a Radiohead fan since my first GF introduced me to them in 1998 and this is the first time Iv heard him say more then a sentence.
Vertiginous. Thank you Colin
I never thought I'd see this crossover ever, but I'm so glad it's happened
For how much of a freaking genius bassist he is, Colin is way too nice of a human being. What a lovely man. They all are, really.

I used to work in Our Price! It’s absolutely true, most punters would just buy whatever was at the top of the chart. Sometimes you’d get someone who was surprised that the no.1 wasn’t what they thought it was, but bought it anyway.
Yayyyy it's Jamesss
2016 is such a crazy year to pick, 1967 was most likely the single most important year for music. With sgt pepper, The doors first album, Pink floyd's first album, Velvet's first album, are you experienced, Cream's disraeli gears and countless others

1996 for me. That will never be beaten.
woah what a crossover!!
2016 WAS one of the best years in music ever tbh
2016 was a great year for music, especially with my two favorite bands, Metallica and Radiohead, releasing Hardwired…To Self-Destruct and A Moon Shaped Pool.
Colin is brilliant.
We used to record the music we'd listen to on cassette, usually 90s rap like Ice Cube, Onyx, public enemy, Naughty by nature, Gang Starr etc then pinch the cassette cases from our price after school. I'm fairly sure I remember Our Price having a big hand in shutting down independent record shops.
Seems such a cool guy does Colin
Colin's vocal timbre is eerily reminiscent of Brian Cox
Nice!

@RM Art @RM Art I think Acaster is pretty well versed in music history. He's also a comedian, so I think that his question was also somewhat of a joke. For me it would be a toss up between 91, 00 and 66. I love psychedelia, electronic and post rock, and a lot of my fav releases like Slint and Godspeed are then. I personally don't ever dog people on what music they listen to, because it's reductive. People listen to what they listen to at their age. I'm sure people gave you shit for your taste when you were younger. You can only grow further if you're willing to listen to new things.

for me it's between 1967, 1991, 2013 (more personal than objective) and 2016

All time? No way, recently sure
My name isn't Ed or Phil but since we have already delved into chicanery and subterfuge I would be happy to don a wig and be either Ed or Phil. Odd since these are fictional men who as of yet have not been prescribed a physical description, in fact Ed could be Edina and Phil a Philemina... Edwardette, Philys, Edie, Philicity, Edgelordess, Philbertanya, et cetera I play the zoot horn rolo, the phantasmal sphere (acoustic, electric and plasmatic), and the rotisserie-chicken-o-gram

@RM Art I'm aware it was diverse, but in comparison 2016 is just more diverse. That doesn't mean everything, of course as time goes on more and more genres will start existing and especially in the age of streaming artists can choose niche sounds and get pretty popular, and undeniably most of the stuff that came out in 1969 was more influential than what came out in 2016 (with some exceptions) but thats mostly because during the 60s and 70s the musical evolution was moving at an extremely rapid pace and shaped the foundations for what we consider modern music
