Can't believe my old thread is still around. 2009 sure was a different time. I can think of 20 songs off the top of my head that are better than Mountain Music lol.

It's OK to have an opinion. This ain't the Soviet Union you know. Letterboxd Youtube Channel
So random story I wanted to type somewhere but don't really want to post to social media for reasons that should become obvious. My work ran a secret santa draw and in this draw you can put down a list of things you're into. I put in said list a link to my collection of vinyl and said "this is the vinyl I have". Said link includes artists like King Gizzard, Nirvana, Pixies, ZZ Top, Radiohead, Idles, Slowdive, Father John Misty, Gorillaz, Outkast, Blondie, Genisis Owusu, Tyler the Creator. So relatively eclectic but I think there's a bit of a vibe there
I got Machine Gun Kelly. No offense to anyone who likes said artist but, not really my vibe.....
Now I'm not usually a re-gifting or returns sort of person but I suspect I have a limit and may have found it. So after Christmas when everything has settled I'm probably going to go to my local used record shop and see what they can do for me. Been wanting to add something by A Tribe Called Quest to my collection

Just saw theneedledrop's top 10 worst albums of the year. It was #4
I was watching it expecting it to be on the list at some point. I was almost at the point of wondering if I should just keep it as a laugh if it made it to #1 on the list. Almost. Apparently all the top 3 spots were reserved for the cookers, which is fair enough I guess

Yeah, I didn't get that deep into music released this year either. I mean I listened to a fair bit of musics and there was a period there where I was pretty much just listening to new stuff. But none of it really stuck
The Smile was good, King Gizz had some mid-tier King Gizz stuffs which was nice. Black Country New Road was pretty solid. Probably the album from this year that stuck with me the most was The Chats - Get F***ed which I wouldn't call "good" more just a whole lot of fun
With that said, I have a playlist on spotify I've been maintaining for years that at the end(ish) of every year I add a couple of tracks to from an artist that's not yet on the list. For this year I've added Richard Dawson - Civil Servant and A Tribe Called Quest - Butter. And I think those two track sums up where I was at in terms of music this year than anything new
@Rambler
I sold the MGK album to my record store. Ended up spending more than I got for it as you do when you walk into that place
Walked in with MGK, walked out with A Tribe Called Quest and Run DMC. Very almost also brought Outkast, Silverchair and Smashing Pumpkins. It is a dangerous place that store

Yes, this is awesome. I often wonder if this album was an influence on early video game composers. The 5th track in fact sounds like Zelda's Lullaby, lol.
Random thing I was just thinking about after noticing that Nevermind and Low End Theory released on the same date. What year do you reckon was the GOAT for album releases?
I mean for a start, 1991 right there puts up a solid show with Nevermind, Low End Theory, Loveless. I kinda feel like 1993 puts up a fair fight 36 Chambers, Souvlaki, Siamese Dream and more recently 2016 was a good showing, A Moon Shaped Pool, Nonagon Infinity, Avalanches comeback with Wildflower. But I kinda feel like 1991, maybe wins?
Kinda wonder what other people think

@skywake thats a hard one as music is so generational that it can wildly sway depending on who the listener is. Like I had a spare tix to Guns n Roses last year (not a huge fan but they have tunes and the unthinkable happened with Slash and the others reuniting so I wanted to see them) so I asked my teen brother if he wanted to go and his response was âwho are Guns n Rosesâ yet he listens to some cringe indie-pop bands who he would put on the top of his list.
It was way before my time but I like â77. The Sex Pistols, The Clash and The Damned's debut albums (well just punk in general really) plus Fleetwood Macâs Rumours and David Bowieâs Low seems like a cool year. Edit Also strong albums from Bob Marley, Iggy Pop, Queen, Motorhead and AC/DC too after actually looking up what was released that year.
