Not my favorite Wire list. After hearing Far Side Virtual (granted, only once), I can't get behind it in the same way I do most of their other AOTY choices. Interesting that they regarded The Smile Sessions as a 2011 album and not as a reissue (they had a separate list for resissues). Also this might be the only list featuring Lulu.
