Surely splitting the TS vote would be a help then?

Good point. So:

Folklore = Conservative party

Evermore = Brexit party

Yeah its powerful stuff, still remember the first time listening and just sitting taking the names in at the end of the video alongside silence.
Could have been a lot more hip-hop in that top 10 to be honest, JPEGMAFIA - Cutie Pie was soo close but I had to go back to doing work so just sent the list as is ahah, a different day it would have been well up there (there is no method to my madness)

Haha I'm too afraid to even begin thinking of my top 10... I kinda wanna do a separate rap-only one but I'll fight the urge 

[dentalplan]

I'm going to submit my songs list first as I'm less fastidious about that, so here goes:

1. King Gizzard & the Lizard Wizard - Intrasport
2. The Killers - My God (feat. Weyes Blood)
3. Perfume Genius - On the Floor
4. Pottery - Texas Drums Pt I
5. The Killers - My Own Soul's Warning
6. The Weeknd - Blinding Lights
7. Angel Olsen - Waving, Smiling
8. Yves Tumor - Kerosene (feat. Diana Gordon)

I completely forgot about that Killer's Soul one, for some reason I only ever listened to it on YouTube so there's no evidence of the billion plays I threw at it this summer. I didn't rate the album so it's not made my playlist.

Splendid stuff. It's one of those rare covers that hasn't done anything massively different to the original but still manages to be bloody good.

[Mattymooz]

Wait a sec, are we including EPs in our AOTY list? That might send me back to the drawing board a bit (as I did really enjoy the Tkay Maidza EP)

[Quark]

I didn't, but @SwedgeAntilles is the curator.

What say you?

I didn't even realise it was an EP! Haha, it's about 5 mins longer than DAYTONA which was an album; the lines are v blurred

I think @Haan has nailed it above when he the lines are sometimes blurred when it comes to long EPs vs short albums. Ultimately if someone wants to offer up a place in their top ten for an EP over an album, then that's up to them. It stands to reason to allow it, and my motto is...
