Nice to see the manics album on another list. I listened to it a ton this year and was really shocked to realize it was one of my favorite albums of the year. I just listened to it again the other day and it really is fantastic.

Results should go up sometime today, I'm like 95% done. Thanks for the patience, dealing with a covid baby and a covid wife with mild symptoms is taking up most of my time right now. Maybe I'll finish up during nap time, but if not I'll have enough time after I put the plague baby to bed tonight.

Take care of the family! We can wait!

It looks like my ten points helped knock it into the top five.

 

[waruv]

Honestly that’s a really solid list. Nicely done N&G

 

[TenderLovingKiller®]

Too many people sleeping on Steve Gunn’s newest album, Other You but that’s alright. Maybe it will give ya something fun to discover at a later point.

 

[avecigrec]

Little Simz almost lapping the field! Well played, Simbi. Well played.

Great list, y'all. Go, team!

 

[dbarila]

Maybe today is a good day to finally get around to listening to that Little Sims album?

 

[bettim84]

Maybe today is a good day to finally get around to listening to that Little Sims album?

I’m with you, I only heard 2 out of the top 10 (3 if I count the Low album that I started streaming but had to turn off because I was too bothered by it).

 

[Jake!]

Now I have plenty to listen to at work!!

Great list, everyone and thanks @Woob_woob as always for putting this together!

 

[Jake!]

Here ya go, nerds. There was only one album I couldn't find, it was the All Them Witches one. Everything else should be there, let me know if I missed something! I went in backwards order because I like the theatrics of it.
