Album Of The Year - 2024

[Coatigan]

A few of us have, on the various threads here, remarked that 2024 has been a good year for music and albums.

So worth putting to the test, with a list.

If interested simply PM me a list of your top 10 albums of the year (they have to have been released in 2024) by Christmas eve. And we'll see what the numbers spit out. I'll try post it in score order by the end of the year or at some point over the festive break. Hoping for a top 50, depending on how many we get.

People are welcome to discuss albums of 2024 here, but I imagine the list itself is better via PM, for both a bit of suspense and ease of keeping track when adding all up.

Edit. To clarify of your top 10, no.1 gets 10 points, and down to no.10 getting 1.

would love to take part but don’t think I’ve listened to an album released this year - only ones I listen too are the nominated ones on the review club.

 

[Boo or Boo-urns]

Cindy Lee - Diamond Jubilee
Waxahatchee - Tigers Blood
Adrienne Lenker (Big Thief) - Bright Future

Are the only three 2024 albums I've heard this year.

We had an album released this year nominated not that long ago, so you have at least a top 1 ;)

10 is a lot for most people I imagine. I’ll trawl my Spotify history etc and see if I’ve listened to that many new ones. I doubt it somehow

Top 5 would make it easier for me to add up etc.

But I am already struggling to narrow it down to 10 though.

Open to suggestions. Or for people to put forward less, between 3 and 10.

I’d say that people can put forward as many (max 10) or as few as they want. If you only have 3 albums, they score 10, 9 and 8 etc.

As for me, remarkably, I have more than 10 but there’s only 0.01% chance that there will be any crossover with other people’s choices :)
