is the boygenius album considered an ep?

 

i'm gonna be that obnoxious fuck that posts 100

 

I could've...lots of great music this year!

 

DO IT

 

I'm excited to spend some time over the coming week(s) to dig into some of the other lists here and find some more great 2018 music. Keep the lists coming y'all :)

 

I started this last night. Thanks to you and @whitenblue88 I listened to the Years & Years album which was great. I’ll definitely be going back to it

 

Great to hear. I feel like that album will be overlooked in a lot of EOTY lists, but it was such a huge highlight this year for me. I played the crap out of that album.

 

I’ll join you in that when the time comes. I have 100 in the Google doc right now

 

Final list probably won't be ready until like the last week of the year but my top 10 will look something like this

In no particular order:

Kacey Musgraves - Golden Hour
Donovan Woods - Both Ways
River Whyless - A Kindness, A Rebel
Father John Misty - God's Favorite Customer
Adrianne Lenker - abysskiss
Pinegrove - Skylight
boygenius - boygenius
Field Report - Summertime Songs
The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry...
Big Red Machine - Big Red Machine

Mitski and and Lucy Dacus might replace 2 of those above.. Hmmm. LUMP and Beach House too. This is gonna be tough.

Honestly I thought I was going to have trouble making a list this year but I could probably do 50 easy..

edit: Hop Along, Nils Frahm, Oneohtrix Point Never too... damn.

    There's still albums that I really liked that I didn't include tbh. And I know I'll end up changing parts but if I don't post now I never will lol

 

Three of your top 10 are in my top 10 too.

 

Kacey Musgraves - Golden Hour
River Whyless - A Kindness, A Rebel
The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry...

???

 

Kacey, The 1975, Donovan Woods. Haven’t even heard of River Whyless.

Field Report is in my top 40 too, but that one really tumbled in the second half of the year, for me.

 

i was torn between Woods and Whyless. Both sound like a Craig Manning album haha

 

River Whyless doesn't get nearly as much love as they deserve :(

their newest was absolutely fantastic

 

Holy shit, I really really love this...the message, the sound, that beat...this is why Chorus is such a huge part of my daily routine, shit like this.

 

YES! Please check out the whole thing. It's honestly very tough to pick 1 track off the album to show somebody. It's full of very different styles. I feel like many on this site would appreciate it.

done linking vids in this thread but I'm glad you enjoyed it.

 

Haha, i'm actually watching their Tiny Desk Concert right now, but i'll spare others the link...

@Craig Manning you better dig it, cause it'll be a let down if you don't...I don't know why.

 

I'll make a list eventually, but for now, I'll say that The 1975 is at the top, and I also really liked mewithoutYou, Kacey Musgraves, and Pale Waves. Oh, and I'm randomly remembering that I didn't get around to Shad yet, which I'm sure is fantastic.
