No surprises that Manic Street Preachers, Gwenno, Cate Le Bon and The Joy Formidable appear in Wales Arts Review's playlist of the best Welsh music of the last decade - or that Gruff Rhys features no fewer than three times (as a member of Super Furry Animals and Neon Neon, as well as for his staunchly pro-NHS solo track 'No Profit In Pain').
But it's good to see that lots of the current up-and-coming crop are also represented: Silent Forum kick it off with 'Spin' , Libertino labelmates and Welsh Music Prize winners Adwaith follow soon after and there are further contributions from Boy Azooga, Accu and a couple of the acts who impressed at Bubblewrap's tenth birthday party last Saturday, Cotton Wolf and HMS Morris.
In terms of variety and diversity, any playlist that incorporates Audiobooks, Islet and Mammoth Weed Wizard Bastard is surely worth your time.
Los Campesinos! are no longer considered Welsh, I guess - but at least there's no Stereophonics either.
