There was a lot of great music released this year. I truly had a tough time narrowing down my list to just 10. The top two haven't changed for me since they were released. They have been my go-to albums all year. I know that I'm probably forgetting a few here & there, but this is my list if I had to pick only 10. And yes, there is a tie for 10th place....because I couldn't leave either one of those albums off. Ha!
1. SHOVELS & ROPE - MANTICORE
2. THE SMILE - A LIGHT FOR ATTRACTING ATTENTION
These 2 have easily been listened to the most for me this year. Just truly amazing albums & they are very different from one another.
3. Spoon - Lucifer On The Sofa
4. Amanda Shires - Take It Like A Man
5. King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard - Omnium Gatherum
6. Kevin Morby - This Is A Photograph
7. Tyler Childers - Can I Take My Hounds To Heaven?
8. My Morning Jacket - Live Vol. 2
9. Drive By Truckers - Welcome To Club XIII
Others:
RHCP - Dream Canteen
Jack White - Fear Of The Dawn
Ben Harper - Bloodline Maintenance
Painted Shield - Painted Shield 2
Caamp - Lavender Days
What are yours?

Glorious sons - tiny club in London the night before Pearl jam’s two shows. Special to see a band like that with max 100 people
I somehow haven't heard the new Painted Shield, Ben Harper, Black Keys, Wilco, or Clutch albums yet, and there are a few others on these lists that I should probably check out sometime.
1. The Afghan Whigs - How Do You Burn?
By far and away my favourite album of the year. It's not even close.
2. Neil & Crazy Horse - Toast
3. UNKLE - Rōnin II
4. RHCP - Unlimited Love
5. Cat Power - Covers
6. Neil & Crazy Horse - World Record
7. Turin Brakes - Wide-Eyed Nowhere
8. 3rd Secret
9. Eddie Vedder - Earthling
Earthling would be higher if you got rid of the first minute of Invincible, the hair metal guitar sound on Power of Right and all of P*****e. I was disappointed with Dream Canteen, it's nowehere near as good as UL.
