Mash011 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Also I never even picked Lorde as my AOTY so idk what you're on about. It was somewhere in the middle of my top 10. Sleep Well Beast and Pop2 were my favs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cdm22 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Just a top 5 for me... IDLES - Joy as an act of resistance Confidence Man - Confident music for confident people St Vincent - MassEducation (no, not Masseduction! ) Ezra Furman - Transangelic Exodus Gaz Coombes - Worlds Strongest Man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mash011 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Anyway I was saying Parquet Courts for while but I've come back around to thinking Ezra Furman's Transangelic Exodus is probably my favourite of the year. Other top ones include Hop Along, Confidence Man, Hinds, Car Seat Headrest, Idles and Young Fathers. Expecting The 1975 and .Paak to make the list too.

Amy Lawn Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 Melodrama was my AotY last year, and maybe it wasn't the overall favourite, but it was definitely in a little cabal which usually crops up every year except for this one. 2016 there was Beyonce, Frank Ocean, Nick Cave, Bowie. 2015 had Kendrick, Soofyan, Father John Misty, Grimes Carly Rae Jepsen. Usually there's a little number of albums that find a sizeable crowd to love them completely, I don't see it this year beyond Idles on here and maybe Pusha T on the wider internet.

Amy Lawn Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 FWIW I've got a lotta stiff competition for my top 10. I reckon Young Fathers comfortably sit in the top spot, but the rest of the field is a scrap by very powerful fighters like First Aid Kit, Ezra Furman, SOPHIE, Cardi B, Robyn, Car Seat Headrest, Pusha T, Haley Heyndrixcks, Trust Fund, Cupcakke, Kamasi Washington, Janelle Monae, Lykke Li, and Hookworms were right in there until recent details came to light. It's not that there's not good shit coming out, but the zeitgeist seems to have rested a bit in 2018. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be just me reading the wrong places but there was some initial talk of "oh yeah there's some good tracks here, she's not just a one-trick poney" but then it died off a bit. Nobody here seems to talk about it that much, despite it being bonkers paper gay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hawros Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 A few that spring to mind... Gaz Coombes - World's Strongest Man Big Red Machine - BRM Artic Monkeys - TBH&C Interpol - Marauder The Shins - The Worm's Heart Paul McCartney - Egypt Station Parquet Courts - Wide Awake! Alkaline Trio - Is This Thing Cursed? Mastersystem - Mastersystem Kurt Vile - Bottle It In Villagers - The Art of Pretending to Swim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People keep talking about her but not her album because that's been and gone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted November 6, 2018 Report Share Posted November 6, 2018 I don't have a list in me yet but I said Parquet Courts' would be album of the year after I first heard it and nothing has dissuaded me from that. Have we got a Kanye one on the way? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
