Some of my favorite bands including Dinosaur Jr., Teenage Fanclub, Bob Mould, Field Music, Junior Boys put out albums this year. I didn't listen to any of their albums more than once. I didn't dislike any of them, I just wasn't really interested in spending time with them. My favorite older albums were Midnight Marauders by A Tribe Called Quest, Avalon by Roxy Music, and Kick by INXS.

Damn, Tancred as #1? I wouldn't have guessed, not because I didn't recognize that it's totally your style, just didn't realize it hooked you that hard. Excellent, I am glad. Still haven't listened to Is the Meat That Fell Out... I'll be spending time with that soon. Surprised at the Iggy Pop placement, though I did enjoy that record. "Gardenia" is an awesome song. Lastly, thank you for the Congress love! Didn't know you liked the album that much!
Yeah, I didn't really loooooove anything that came out this year like I have for the last three years. Tancred made sense. Blackstar would have been number 1 if I was able to listen to it without getting super sad for almost all of the year. I'm just starting to get to that point now and it's wonderful.
