So I haven’t had time this year to do blurbs or cut down the list into a ‘top X’ kinda thing. This is just a list of the albums I listened to and liked a fair bit this year, in relative alphabetical order.
You can also check out my previous EOY lists for 2015, 2016, 2017.
If there’s anything I’ve missed you think I should hear, feel free to drop a message 🙂
