Album Of The Year 2024 - Beth Gibbons - Lives Outgrown

Interesting. If it is a best of guised as an album, probably not in the spirit of it. If it is a live version of recent works, maybe. Judge it yourself I guess whether it 'belongs' to 2024 or a longer period further back.

Two of the best new releases I have this year are box sets of music artists recorded for the BBC and mostly live! Anyway, I don't buy enough new releases of new music to vote.
 
Well I had my top 10 sorted including what I confidently placed at no.1.

Then my spotify wrapped told me the album I listened to the most, top songs of which are.off that album, and another I completely forgot about!

I guess showing the year has had a fair bit to it.

Can't believe folk listen to so little new music. I've listened to a good 300 on Tidal all the way through just driving.

@Boo or Boo-urns has good taste, that Waxahatchee (seeing her at Albert Hall next June) and Adrienne Lenker are both great.

Listening to music these days is a right old balancing act, but in a good way.

Keeping up with all of the music threads on here (to be fair, I've started a few of them!) has changed what I listen to for a good percentage of the time - I am enjoying listening to stuff that I've not heard before from the 50s, 60s and 70s and engaging in the related discussions. This has meant that some of the "listening to THIS year's music" has had to go, but I do like to rack up a list of things that have been released in the current year.

Then you have to factor you old favourites in. Some you want to listen to from time to time.

The joy of music is the initial discovery and then repeated listens - I do find that I when I like a new album these days, there's a chance I'll leave it behind after 2 or 3 listens because of the sheer number of albums and songs I'm trying to take in, so it has to be a special album to join my list of favourites.
