Brit Beats

Stock PhotoIn honor of London Fashion Week, the Style Wylde staff decided to compile a list of our top five British albums released  since 1980.  We had no idea how hard this would be, and many heated debates occurred before we were able to come up with a final list.  But we managed to pull through, and along the way we learned that Haikusue is a pop princess, Melissa's musical tastes have been on a 10 year sabbatical, Cynthia doesn't listen to anything produced after 1987, Simon is almost entirely about electronica, and Mark listens to things that no one else has heard of.

Without further ado, here are our top five's:
