One of my favorites, Britain’s the 1975 made their third visit to Seattle when they played Showbox SoDo last winter. After a listen to the group’s first album, The 1975, many others have likewise embraced them. With an elegant pop quality to their songs, the Manchester-based 1975 made the sold out venue dance. And while I waited for the show to begin, I heard a woman say, “This is like a religious experience.” I didn’t want to be creepy (a problem generally part of eavesdropping), but I wanted to yell at her, “I know. I know.”
My top songs: “The City,” “M.O.N.E.Y.,” “Chocolate,” “Sex,” “Settle Down,” “Girls,” “fallingforyou,” “Love Me,” “A Change of Heart” and “Somebody Else.”
