Ah yeah, each to their own, if you love them that's cool. Always thought they were just refining and retreading ground they'd already covered by Aligator. More expensive production but similar. Glad they changed it up. Sounds like it might be interesting. Will come back with a review.

Here we go. Unlike a few on here, I have found 2019 to be a strong year for music.

1.) The Twilight Sad - It won/t be like this all the time
2.) Drugdealer - Raw Honey
3.) Bat for Lashes - Lost girls
4.) WH Lung - Incidental Music
5.) Perfect Son - Cast
6.) Ride - This is not a safe place
7.) Silversun Pickups - Widow's weeds
8.) Lana Del Rey - Norman Fucking Rock well!
9.) Richard Hawley - Further
10.) Foals - Part 1 - Everything not saved will be lost

I'm looking forward to reading more top 10s in the coming days! [emoji106]

Another great year in music.

Lana Del Rey ran away with it. What an album she made.
Debut albums in both third and fourth spot showing that contemporary pop music is very much rejuvenated and moving forward.
Great to see both Lower Dens and FKA twigs being back after 4 and 5 years respectively.
Perhaps the biggest surprise for me was Uffie coming out of nowhere and releasing a few bangers this year.

Spotify playlist backing up this list. 20 songs in total, carefully curated.
https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6gwVXndtS9ljJ30EiytDDw?si=DJfgRj6UQ1aGLNv7hVwokA

1. Lana Del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell!


2. Lower Dens - The Competition


3. W. H. Lung - Incidental Music


4. Jean Dawson - Bad Sports


5. FKA twigs - MAGDALENE


6. Uffie - Tokyo Love Hotel


7. Cate le Bon - Reward

 
8. Beirut - Gallipoli


9. Big Thief - U.F.O.F.


10. Amason - Galaxy I




Just missing out:
TEEN - Good Fruit
Clairo - Immunity

Special mention:
Japanese Breakfast doing a fantastic cover of Head Over Heels and releasing an equally wonderful single (Essentially).

I honestly sort of lost interest with Lana Del Rey sometime after the last album. By the sound of it I checked out at the absolute worst time as it appears I’ve missed a classic record here.

1.Solar Corona - Lightning One
2.Holy Ghost! - Work
3.Sharon Van Etten - Remind Me Tomorrow
4.The Comet is Coming - Trust in the Lifeforce of the Deep Mystery
5.Ex Hex - It's Real
6.Omni - Networker
7.Hot Chip A Bath Full of Ecstasy
8.Lana Del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell

You were right to lose interest in my opinion. Her previous album was terrible,but trust me, NFR is a must listen! Get on it![emoji106]

1. Fontaines DC -Dogrel
2. Lana del Rey - Norman Fucking Rockwell
3. Big Thief - U.F.O.F
4. Foals - Part 1 everything not saved will be lost
5. Bruce Springsteen - Western Stars
6. Hot Chip - Bath Full of Ecstasy
7. The Flaming Lips - The King's Mouth
8. Richard Dawson - 2020
9. Sharon Van Etten - Remind Me Tomorrow
10. Vampire Weekend - Father of the Bride

Can’t say I’ve listened to many of this years albums start to finish. Looking at my most played, they were all from 2018. It’s getting harder each year to keep up.

Fontaines saved Irish rock for me and Lana hit Joni Mitchell levels with her album. Foals continue to be the most consistently good British indie band around.

Only one album been making me feel like a young rebel punk I once was. Making me walk with nonchalance. With swagger, dare I say it[emoji124][emoji12]. It's the kind of album that makes you feel like a rock star like albums are supposed to. One of The best debuts I've ever heard. Hopefully that's not too real for ya. Or is it [emoji1696][emoji1696]

Since we can do a Top 3, here are all the albums I listened to from 2019.

1. The National - I Am Easy To Find
2. Weyes Blood - Titanic Rising
3. Better Oblivion Community Centre - Better Oblivion Community Centre

I say this every year, but I really want to keep more up to date with releases in 2020.

Where did you find this?

Probably on here, but honestly can't remember. Did you post about it?

A quick question, if I may. Would Burial's Tunes album be regarded as a current album or a reissue, given it's a collation of stuff off his EPs from the last decade?

I'll look into it and then confer with the committee. Seeing as I am the committee, this could take some time but back soon as. Doesn't sound like it would be allowed but happy to hear your argument.



I say this every year, but I really want to keep more up to date with releases in 2020.

I say the same myself and think we're all a bit like that. There will probably be 100 albums listed here in RAOTY that I will not get round too - and quite a few I really should do (incl Weyes Blood). Cheers for the 3.
