LIVE ALBUM
Gary Numan - Savage (Live)
Beaten to it with Kamasi Washington who has produced yet another jaw-droppingly great record.
Honestly wasn't sure where to put Yellow6. Not really suitable for any of the categories but I thought it was probably closest to classical, despite being almist exclusively electric guitar based.....have a listen and see if you agree.......
Not 100% sure Low belong in the "Rock/Indie/Metal/Punk/Blues" bit either....... aybe indie but this latest one is waaay more experimental and challenging than their previous output.
Will probably add to these soon.

Re: Album of 2018
I left that one to you mate as I know 'Tell Me How You really Feel' is one of your favourites leaving me to nominate another album
Re: Album of 2018
Don't worry mate. We all introduce each other to new music on here.
Some good jazz out this year, both new (Kamasi, Sons Of Kemet, Kamaal Williams) and the great re-discovered Coltrane album which I'm pleased has been nominated as well (good work billie1).

Re: Album of 2018
Don't know where you'd put it - probably singer/songwriter as opposed to indy - but "13 Rivers" by Richard Thompson is the best album of the year. Only nomination I'll make.

Re: Album of 2018
I haven't bought one 'new' album this year, only albums I may not have picked up first time round from mainly the late 60's/70s.
The older I get the more difficult I find it to like new stuff (albeit to a point that is laziness on my part I think), albeit I have picked a few things on the various music threads on here.

Re: Album of 2018 - Nominate Now
But they know their Hip-hop/Rap...
I struggled to fit the three best albums of the year outside of Deafman into two picks
Kids See Ghosts is excellent
Earl Sweatshirt is back with another stunning album, I've nominated him before
and Masta Ace & Marco Polo's A Breukelen Story is so close too
