Please only provide it in this format, and I’ll only use the first contribution provided (anything else makes my life difficult). I’ll keep this thread open until at the earliest the first weekend of January (2nd/3rd) so plenty of time to wait until you have the perfect list.

DIS forum 2019 - Albums of the year - RESULTS

Thanks for all the votes, here’s the DIS top 100 albums of 2019. Pretty close at the top and, unlike in the last few years, no clear winner.

And good to see Richard Dawson in the top 5 having missed out on many other end of year lists. 1 Big Thief - U.F.O.F (96 points) 2 Nick Cave - Ghosteen (85 points) 3 Self Esteem – Compliments Please (79 points) 4 Lana Del Rey - NFR! (76 points) 5 Richard Dawson – …
