The 2023 Album Of the Year Polling Thread

Music
1

Here we go, it’s the albums of the year thread!

What I need you to do is to provide your top 5 albums of the year. In the following format:

  1. Name of artist who released your favourite album of 2023: Name of album.
  2. Name of artist who released your 2nd favourite album of 2023: Name of album.
  3. Etc
  4. And so on
  5. Name of artist who released your 5th favourite album of 2023: Name of album

There are just three ‘rules’ which really help me collate the results:

  • no discussion in this thread, I’ll start another thread for all discussion to go in.
  • please only make one submission. This will be open to (at very least) the end of the year. If you are ready to give you list now - great! But if you think you might want to change your list before the thread closes please wait to submit.
  • please provide your five albums in the format above (eg. 1. Artist Name: Name of Album).

Happy polling everyone.
