Pitchfork's social media decided to throw
The 200 Best Albums of the 1980s at me today, altbough I've just realised the article is originally from 2018. NO and JD make appearances.

I watched the original 28 Days Later back in 2002, didn't bother with the sequel in 2007. Do I need to watch another one, or can I stick to the original, like with Blue Monday?
