I didn't see a thread for this, so I thought I'd start one!
Here is my top 10 in no particular order, but I will say that I listened to the top 4 the most. There are several other albums that came out this year that I really loved, but these are my standouts:
- Shovels & Rope: Something's Working Above My Head
- Jack White: No Name
- Pearl Jam: Dark Matter
- Sturgill Simpson: Passage Du Desir
- IDLES: Tangk
- KGLW - Live in Houston
- The Smile: Wall of Eyes
- The Smile: Cutouts
- Liam FInn: Hyperverse
- Shawn Smith: Shield of Thorns
