#6 Dissed and Dismissed - Tony Molina

Album: Dissed and Dismissed
Artist: Tony Molina

One line synopsis: A mosaic of miniature lo-fi college rock gems

Best Track: The album is so short you should listen to the lot

---------------------------------

The shortest album I've ever featured on my end of year list. This one falls into the nostalgia bracket and provides the perfect 11 minute journey back to the pre-grunge college rock days. I don't really pay much attention to the track titles, thinking of them more like the way episodes of Friends are named (a show I despise, I should hasten to add) - the one that's like every Raymond McGinley Teenage Fanclub song distilled into 1 minute 30 seconds; the one that's like a long lost Lou Barlow 4 track demo; the one that has the Dinosaur Jr guitar squall; the one that starts off like early Green Day, but is good (no honestly). If you like your fuzz and overdrive pedals this one is for you.

Notes on the top 10:
* Yes I am sad enough to do a top 10 every year
* All albums must have been released this year
* I must own the physical copy of each of them
* I'm fairly sure there are other albums out there that would make this list had I got round to buying them, feel free to tell me what I've missed
* full countdown tagged nstop102014
