Ah - Henry Danger. You have my sympathies - I know exactly how it feels 😂

No real surprises

What is the point of these lists - try to find as many obscure albums as possible? Pretentious nonsense Although Magdalena Bay at number 1 redeemed that gorilla one a bit (barely knew any of the others)

AOTY should be all about what you personally enjoyed through the year, not what some hipster critics tell us is great. As you can probably see from my list, being cool should not be a factor in deciding your Top Ten, although I am all to aware that there will be plenty on here judging 🤣

Okay, I'll go first 1. Wolf Alice - Blue Weekend 2. Sam Fender – Seventeen Going Under 3. The Killers - Pressure Machine 4. MarthaGunn – Something Good Will Happen 5. Magdalena Bay – Mercurial World 6. Holly Humberstone - The Walls Are Way Too Thin 7. Inhaler - It Won't Always Be Like This 8. Aly & AJ - A Touch of the Beat Gets You Up on Your Feet Gets You Out and Then Into the Sun 9. Kings of Leon – When You See Yourself 10. Japanese Breakfast – Jubilee Blue Weekend has easily been my AOTY since it came out and was never going to be knocked off top spot, but really surprised how much the Sam Fender album has grown on me with each listen - that's two cracking albums from him now and can't wait to see him on the Farm next year. Big thumbs up 👍 to @Quark for MarthaGunn and @lessthanwill1 for Magdalena Bay - love those two albums. On my shortlist, but not quite making my top ten - The War on Drugs - I Don't Live Here Anymore Taylor Swift – Red (Taylor’s Version) CHVRCHES - Screen Violence Deafheaven - Infinite Granite Dayglow - Harmony House Halsey - If I Can't Have Love, I Want Power Laura Mvula - Pink Noise Biffy Clyro - The Myth of the Happily Ever After Kacey Musgraves - Starcrossed London Grammar – Californian Soil

Exactly this. 100% all the way

Missed this - what an absolute banger!

Absolutely incredible - epic song and performance

Loving those setlists, but definitely can't be wasting precious time on London Boy No love for Long Live? I know its a bit of a deep cut, but would love to hear it on the Pyramid

Cannot be dropping Style. One of the first on the list imo.

Completely agree both of these must stay, and this version would slay on the Pyramid -

Sorry, but All Too Well is an absolute masterpiece and should have been left alone. The original is just perfect. Just listened to the 10 minute version , then the New "Short" version then finally the original. Listen between around 2:55 until 4:00 back to back - new one sounds a bit softer and overproduced, the original just sounds more raw and authentic. Still the original for me

As we say over here, Good Man Yourself 😁
