I’ll just wang 'em out quickly as thinking about it will only lead to agony:

  2. Ex-Eye - Ex-Eye
  3. Cloud Nothings - Life Without Sound
  4. Billy Woods - Known Unknowns
  5. Norman Westberg - Jasper Sits Out

(Had a quick search through the thread and I only picked two that anyone else had picked, although I have no idea if that’s true of most of us.)

Places 1-3 were pretty easy and set in stone. 4 & 5 were tough calls from a cast of around 10 very worthy candidates. Incredibly strong year.

I’ve only heard of one of your picks (Cloud Nothings) and haven’t listened to that!

i think the diversity of the yearly favourites of DiS writers, contributors & forum members is pretty amazing tbh.
