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
I LOVE MUSIC.

    Strong lists....I love a lot of those.

    Would add 
    Bando Stone - Childish Gambino
    Invincible Shield - Judas Priest

    JP makes top 4 for me, along with Dark Matter, Tangk, and GNX....crazy to think Priest is still putting out great records but it is bomb.

    I’ve really enjoyed it since it came out. Didn’t realize until a few days ago that the bass player now tours with Jason Isbell
