One I’ve only just listened to this week, came out in October:
The Eggmen Whoooooo! Fuzzy Eggs, Please
If you like a bit of acid psych rock mixed with a bit of punk mixed with a bit of rock‘n’roll mixed with a bit of garage rock, this lot from Neath in Wales are well worth a listen.
Fellow Welsh band, El Goodo, described this as ‘The Greatest Album Of All Time’ on their Instagram, upon release. They didn’t mean it, plus one of El Goodo (Pixie Jones) is in The Eggmen Whoooooo!, but it was a nice plug for a new band and the album is mega!

Indie/Folk too. Enjoying the latest Johnny Delaware album upon first listen today from the Playlist Review nomination from @RobMCFC. I think Rob will have some support in this one.

Glad you enjoyed it. I’d never heard of him until a few weeks ago and had a listen after reading a review of the album. It’s very good.

That Cure new release is as advertised. It is making mine. Will check out those others. Still have time...
The good & bad news is I'm now taking albums out of my existing Top 10 list. Hmm, good call for Coatigan to stick with 10 after all. ;-)

Here we are, and the big winner is Beth Gibbons. Followed by Waxahatchee, who drew the highest number of votes. From a total of 82 albums put forward.
I have to admit, not listened to either of the top two, so will finish the year off with that.
I included albums PM'd to me, and also went through the thread and included any post that listed more than one album, even when two were put up. Where someone simply said 'this is the best album of the year' I took that as part of wider conversation, although most of those did PM or post a wee list as well.
No reason for people not to discuss their and other albums further however.
Full list below.
Happy new year to you all.
