Feeling a lot fo this tackle gents. Just need to get my shit in order and have a respond. I think you could probably pick 8 of my top 10 though, albums wise #predictable.
Its been an odd year for me. So little time to think or do anything other than work or parenting. Stacey and I had a night out in Manchester on Saturday and we worked out that it was the first evening/night together without the kids for about 18 months. Nightmare year! Nobody wants to look after teething babies!
I’m just gonna chuck my fave albums into a big pile as I can’t manage to rank them?
Sufjan Stevens
Miguel
Father John Misty
Tame Impala
Deerhunter
My fave is probably Deerhunter which is probably a bit predictable for me?
Interesting how many of our top albums were AOTMs?
