Quark Posted November 16, 2020 Report Share Posted November 16, 2020 Just now, kingcrawler said: Should live albums count for AOTY lists? Something like Idiot Prayer can, I think, as it's a single performance and new arrangements. A standard live album made of spliced cuts from multiple gigs, or standard live renditions of tracks without anything new being added, not so much.

It's an unwritten rule that if Bob releases an album that isn't terrible, it'll get top spot in those 2 mags (among others). 17 minutes ago, kingcrawler said: Should live albums count for AOTY lists? Yeah I'm with @Quark on this - if they're new arrangements, fine. You can view them as a sort of re-recording; this one doesn't even have crowd noise.

To me they’ve always just been the Brimful of Asha band and I’m only learning now that they’ve been consistently releasing albums since then, and that they’re apparently AOTY list worthy.

Brave Sir Robin Posted November 21, 2020 Report Share Posted November 21, 2020 Playlist of Uncut's 75 best albums of the year here. Song selections based on Uncut's reviews, and to avoid overlap with the Mojo list. I found someone else had started doing this, but they'd only got to 30 and some of their track selections were off. Some great stuff on each of these lists that was new to me. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
priest17 Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) 6Music revealing theirs today (Sports Team and Doves so far).

FloorFiller Posted November 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 (edited) 6Music list here: 1. Sault - Untitled (Black is) 2. Fontaines D.C. - A Hero Death 3. Fleet Foxes - Shore 4. BC Camplight - Shortly After Takeoff 5. Bob Dylan - Rough and Rowdy Ways 6. Nadine Shah - Kitchen Sink 7. Cornershop - England Is A Garden 8. Run the Jewels - RTJ4 9. Doves - The Universal Want 10. Sports Team - Deep Down Happy https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/articles/4lrd9KXPP625cmXC4R6GxKG/6-music-recommends-albums-of-the-year-2020 Not bad but some typical basic 6music choices in there. Nice to see the BC Camplight album getting some recognition. Liked that album a lot but it seemed to go largely unnoticed upon release. edit: just noticed no Laura Marling in there which is surprising. Wonder who she’s pissed off over at the beeb.

Quark Posted November 24, 2020 Report Share Posted November 24, 2020 I listened to the list as almost each DJ had a pick for the top 10? So while IDLES was up there across 6Music, no one DJ had it as their single #1 album. Either way some interesting stuff up there. Of the 10 I think Doves is the only one in my longlist at the moment.
