#16: Woody Whatever’s “Roar EP” (Ionik Records) I’m going to get criticized for this. Many people would just dismiss this as “amateur” and “incomplete,” but to them I say PHOOIE. Also, they will claim that it’s an EP and thus it shouldn’t be included on this list. Well, this has quite a few songs on it for an EP, so I’m letting it go. I’ve listened to this a number of times, and it just keeps getting better. Very lo-fi recording style, very amateur, and very promising. For somebody’s early bedroom diddlings to be this good… look out Guided By Voices!
