Best Indie Albums - motel de moka Creating any ‘best of list‘ is always problematic, not only aesthetic judgement employed but also its effect. Often, a credible enough list can defeat the original point of a list, a bit like reciting unmentionable magic spell. The secret magic is broken the minute it is made public.
