I listened to Lydia loveless once but need to go back more because I loved her last album, I'll check out the other for sure
Awesome. At the very least, she's such an accomplished and heartfelt songwriter that I can't imagine you outright disliking it.
Not to be rude or anything just genuinely curious. Did you look into any newer bands this year or just your old favorites?
Finished 7 for me, I really enjoy listening to it just wasn't top 5 material for this year, most years it would have been, still going to listen to it a lot though
I think I'm okay with this. I feel like I could move anything up or down a step but at the end of the day that little nit picking doesn't matter. Chance The Rapper - Coloring Book Weezer - White Album Pinegrove - Cardinal American Football - American Football LP 2 The Hotelier - Goodness Jimmy Eat World - Integrity Blues Blink-182 - California Modern Baseball - Holy Ghost Brian Fallon - Painkillers Beyonce - Lemonade Honorable Mentions Taking Back Sunday - Tidal Wave Kevin Devine - Instagator Into It. Over It. - Standards Kanye West - The Life Off Pablo Balance And Composure - Light We Made Edit: Feel free to comment on my list, ask why things are where they are and such.
I've come to the conclusion that Bon Iver fills spots 1 - 10 on my list, with Pinegrove and The Hotelier taking home the honorable mentions.
1. Pinegrove - Cardinal 2. Beyonce - Lemonade 3. Kanye - Life of Pablo 4. Blink 182 - California 5. All Get Out - Nobody Likes a Quitter 6. Rae Sremurd - SremmLife 2 7. A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie - Artist 8. Kevin Devine - Instigator 9. Panic At The Disco - Death of a Bachelor 10. Modern Baseball - Holy Ghost For Now. I admittedly have to get into a lot more bands and dive in. Some bands I love but haven't fully explored but these CDs hit some sort of a spot for me. Hotelier was definitively better than some of the above albums, but honestly I just didn't spin it that much.
