Neither is new-new, but both new to me this year.
So looking at that it’s mainly been;
Creeper - Their first album "Eternity in your arms" was released earlier this year & it’s something I have listened to loads throughout the whole year.
Gregory Porter - not sure of his producer & who mastered them , but his last couple of albums do sound fantastic. Plus his voice is superb, neat arrangements & classy musicians. Glad I got tickets to see him on tour in 2018.
Nathaniel Rateliff & The Nightsweats - saw him on The "Austin to Boston" Netflix documentary & have listened to him during the early part of the year
Against Me! - "shape shift with me" Album. Last couple of years I have listened to them a lot. Not very heavy, just decent rock with some good & catchy arrangements & riffs. Stuff you could sit down for 10mins and work out, not flashy, but good solid playing. Another album that I just really like the sound of, I’m trying to say I like the production on this one as well!
Dakha Brakha. Saw them again recently, and this time they had CD's with them, so I bought all 3.
Not new as such, but I happened to come across one of those cheapo 5 CD boxed sets - real bargain lot of Kenny Burrell.
The other day, though, I saw Richard Dawson play - his album Peasant is really extraordinary: a sort of concept album about the north-east of England in the years just after end of the Roman empire. The only genre description that comes close is Progressive Folk, but that doesn't quite catch the intensity of the songs and performance. He plays a red Burns Nu-Sonic.
Father John Misty - Pure Comedy
Jane Weaver - Modern Kosmology
Unfortunately the best song, "no stars", sees to have horrible distortion in places on Spotify. I wonder if the CD version is knackered too

It should show 2016 & 2017 Top songs.
Well, bit of a surprise, top of my list is Aimee Mann's "You Never Loved Me"
It's just a daft little pop song but I guess there were a few weeks when I was pretty much playing it back to back.
Aimee Mann, "You Never Loved Me"
There are 100 tracks on the list, so if you have listened to less than 100 during the year I don’t think that it would create a list.
