We didn't do this last year. Mainly, probably, because of what Randy has said a few times, that there are always albums from a particular year you won't discover until years later. But a friend just send me his albums of the year list, so I sent him mine in return. It includes a couple of EPs.

The Good, The Bad & The Queen - Merrie Land
Dirty Projectors - Lamp Lit Prose
Augie March - Bootikins
Francis Macdonald & The Scottish Festival Orchestra Soloists - Hamilton Mausoleum Suite
Sarah Blasko - Depth Of Field
Paul Kelly - Nature
Shame - Songs Of Praise
Donny McCaslin - Blow.
Paul McCartney - Egypt Station
Iceage - Beyondless
David Byrne - American Utopia
Stephen Malkmus & The Jicks - Sparkle Hard
Angelique Kidjo - Remain In Light
Underworld And Iggy Pop - Teatime Dub Encounters EP
The Breeders - All Nerve
Mastersystem - Dance Music
Buffalo Tom - Quiet And Peace
The Mighty Mighty Bosstones - While We're At It
White Denim - Performance
The Harvest Ministers - Crazy Cuckold EP

I'll play. I just sent this to some friends. It was a great year for music, IMO, perhaps evidenced by the fact Padraig and I have no albums in common. Rock on, kids.

1. Parquet Courts: Wide Awaaaaake!
2. Amy Rigby: The Old Guys
3. Superchunk: What a Time to Be Alive
4. Noname: Room 25
5. Rolling Blackouts C.F.: Hope Downs
6. The Ex: 27 Passports
7. Lori McKenna: The Tree
8. Rich Krueger: Life Ain't That Long
9. Pistol Annies: Interstate Gospel
10. Cardi B: Invasion of Privacy

Coulda been contenders (sort of in order): No Age: Snares Like a Haircut Mount Eerie: Now Only; Rich Krueger: NOWThen; Wussy: What Heaven Is Like; Willie Nelson: Last Man Standing; Hamell on Trial: The Night Guy at the Apocalypse: Profiles of a Rushing Midnight; Speedy Ortiz: Twerp Verse; Yo La Tengo: There's a Riot Going On; Bettye Lavette: Things Have Changed, etc. etc.

All the few things I heard and liked of 2018 is above.
I'll add
- Bill Ryder-Jones : Yawn. My fave of the year.
- TMBG : I Like Fun
- Dominique A : Toute Latitude
- Tim Burgess : As I Was Now

Surely, I've forgotten someone…

Best concert was The Charlatans.
