2015 end of year lists

It's quite a strange list, isn't it? Pretty sure half of it would change if we redid every year (obviously some of the voters would be different too)

Ryley Walker record is just as I expected: Van Morrison, Nick Drake. Nice and well done but I didn't find any standout and although it's obviously good and I know it would grow on me, I don't feel like immersing in it. With Kamasi happens a bit like this too, I enjoyed what I heard but I simply don't have 3 spare hours that often so don't want to turn it into necessity/pleasure. Courtney starts sounding like the Velvet Underground, which is a nice surprise. Let's see if she keeps the level.

Always find it really hard to go back to the previous years albums in January. This time of the year I just want to listen to old classics, with a few January releases thrown in too.

Can't believe Noel is in the top 10, is it really any good? I don't think i've even heard a single song from it.

Yeah, I also want to find time to other things but... I GUESS WE DO THESE LISTS TO DISCOVER/RETRY MUSIC AND NOT JUST FOR NAVEL-GAZING

thanks for the hard work barny. only 4 years until you get to do the end of decade one too!

I think that's the best top 3 ever

actually, top 4

A broad range of albums. Cheers for posting that, fuzzy.

Hands up who's bothered to listen to that PJ Harvey album in the last 18 months?

i listened to it a few days ago actually. still holds up very well though it was only my 7th favourite of 2011.

iTunes says I haven't in more than 2 years, but I have add most of the songs a few times on my ipod. But great album anyway

Still my favourite album of the decade.

Daniel by Bill Ryder-Jones is the one track that stands out for me, the rest is alright but a bit forgettable

For some reason today I remembered Italian forum member Shenandoah being very annoyed because some of these girls (or may be some other) appeared posing on the booklet photos of his record or something like that. It initiated a big discussion. Anybody remembers that? Who was the girl?

Yes, I remember. It was Joanna Newsom and because of the 'shots' from the artwork & promo around the release of 'Have One On Me'.

i remember that 'discussion'

funny cos on the new album she has a tit out in the booklet

Mark Owen has his nipples out in the booklet for his Green Man album, I should know, because I own it.

Still flummoxed by the fact that shenandoah was a 'he'. I spent a legitimate 2-3 years thinking it was a woman.
