Eels — The Deconstruction CHVRCHES — Love is Dead Manic Street Preachers — Resistance Is Futile George Ezra — Staying at Tamara's Editors — Violence Chromeo — Head Over Heels Johnny Marr — Call the Comet Florence + the Machine — High as Hope Just a few of my favourites though to be honest this year has been just as much about listening to new music as older music as before this year I had fallen out of favour with newly released albums for a couple of years so I have been catching up on albums I missed in 2016 and 2017 plus discovering albums even older than that. A few of those are listed below - Foster the People — Sacred Hearts Club The Naked and Famous — Simple Forms Wolf Alice — Visions Of A Life St. Vincent — Masseduction London Grammar — Truth Is a Beautiful Thing Gary Moore — Corridors of Power ZZ Top — Afterburner Tina Turner — Break Every Rule The Psychedelic Furs — The Psychedelic Furs

bump. I Changed the Calendar in My Blog for when the Year begins and ends about 5 years ago (per being so frustrated with next to no December albums, and the November albums coming in at the very end and beating out records I listened to for many weeks/months). So My Albums of the Year ends on Halloween (the dates being 11/1/17-10/31/18) so my Albums of the Year list is now up. All Media Reviews: Albums of the Year 2017-2018 (11/1/17-10/31/18)
