I’ll give your first choice ten points, second choice nine points etc. also please don’t give any joint firsts, seconds etc. either as it’ll make scoring easier if each choice has a set position. Maybe it’s a blood out of stone thread but it’ll be interesting to see which albums are still in favour from thoses mentioned in the AOTM threads.
I unfortunately simply don’t have the time to count up the hundreds of albums that would be mentioned if I did a free for all six monthly vote; just those albums above please. After all it’s you guys that voted them up there. There’s over sixty albums to choose from. If this thread takes off I’ll do the counting in two weeks on Sunday 23rd July.
Murder Capital is the surprise for me, didn’t even vote for it or listen to it at the time. But they were absolutely excellent when I saw them live this weekend and I’ve done a lot of pre listening before that, and the album just seems full of cool textures and depths
Hold Steady just missing out as the album didn’t quite click yet as much as I’d like. Lana fantastic but again feels too big and haven’t fully got my teeth into yet
Yves Tumor - Praise A Lord Who Chews But Does Not Consume
Avalon Emerson - & The Charm
James Holden - Imagine This Is A High Dimensional Space Of All Possibilities
Caroline Polachek - Desire, I Want To Turn Into You
King Krule - Space Heavy
Fever Ray - Radical Romantic
Kelela - Raven
Young Fathers - Heavy Heavy
Not my actual to top 10. Albums by Nabiha Iqbal, Free Love, Esben & The Witch, Cruelle, and Katie Gately would be higher than most of these if they were on the list.
James Holden - Imagine This Is A High Dimensional Space Of All Possibilities
Overmono - Good Lies
Wednesday - Rat Saw God
Jason isbell - This is just an unbelievable set of songs performed with real character and poise.
Charlotte cornfield - Just narrowly misses out to Isbell but an album of great songs with an equally great vibes.
Young fathers - This band are fairly peerless in the UK right now and while the record doesn’t quite capture their live majesty, I think it’s the closest they’ve come to bottling it.
James Holden - Heavy, hypnotic vibes throughout.
Overmono - Bops and bangers aplenty.
Wednesday - This was hitting the spot for a while but I’ve not really gone back to it - hoping seeing them live reignites my interest.
Not really given Protomartyr, just didn’t really grab me, or The National, seemed alrightish but they’re never likely to really get me excited these days, much of my time at all but normally I’d have them in this list somewhere.
