DiS Users' March 2020 Album Of The Month

Big thanks again to @BMS1 for running these, and yeah, what a great month. Just wondering if there is any interest in having a thread for people’s favourite tracks of the first quarter? Thinking maybe everyone votes 10 tracks, tally up the top 25 into a playlist and then repeat for Q2,3 and 4 to end up with a top 100 tracks of the year…

I’ll take a handful of likes as sufficient interest!

Please list your favourite 10 tracks released so far this year, in order if possible. Can be from singles, EPs or albums, but ideally not re-issues. Alternatively you can DM me your list if you prefer.

I’ll leave this open until Sunday 19th April, unless people think it should be longer. Then I’ll do some counting stuff.

OK cool, I’ll keep an eye out for it appearing on Spotify and add it when it does.

@Kirstysmetalhands - you can add up to 10 tracks, did you have any others?

Does anyone know if I can add the playlist link to the OP?
