Apologies, didnt know the music thread was your thing. Only listened to half your list so with that and many others on here, lots to listen to in the coming weeks Without wanting to ruin any credibility i might have earned, Harry Styles album is surprisingly good although I haven't worked out if that is due to zero expectations!

DAMN really really impressed me. TPAB was a slice of genius but I didn't really expect much. I'm a hip hop purist in every sense but that has to go down as one of the best hip hop albums in the last decade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Rum Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Surprised no one has mentioned Idles (with the Bristol connection plus the fact it is an absolutely awesome album). My top ten will follow but have just given away my number one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
internetjef Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 I've struggled to find anything to get too excited about this year. Lots of new albums I was really looking forward to were good but a bit underwhelming (arcade fire, national, QOTSA, LCD sound system). Looking forward to getting stuck into some of the recommendations here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BCFC Jimmer Posted December 12, 2017 Report Share Posted December 12, 2017 Grizzly Bear - Painted Ruins seconded! And best live band I've seen this year. Majestic crunchy guitars and beautiful harmonies. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's OK mate, I'll have forgiven you by this time next year. If you like your pop music then I'd suggest checking out Masseduction. Sexy, sassy and more hooks than B & Q. Fantastic pop album. 6 hours ago, ZiderEyed said: DAMN really really impressed me. TPAB was a slice of genius but I didn't really expect much.

Still can't get over those genre-mashing first two songs Wesley's Theory and King Kunta. Genius. Not in the same league as that but Vincent Staples album is full of bangers and overall a very enjoyable listen. If you have Spotify I'd also check out the latest Silicon Valley soundtrack. It's a very good comedy on Netflix but they also include some quality hip hop / break beat in the shows - DJ Format, DJ Shadow, Danny Brown etc all feature. It's good fun !

DJ Shadow....quality Has Harry Styles ever been anything other than a 'pop' star who makes 'pop' music? ie 3 minute songs with a catchy chorus. Soft rock can still be pop music.... You can have dance music, hip-hop, country and rock music that could all be classed as pop music. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ZiderEyed Posted January 18, 2018 Report Share Posted January 18, 2018 Sorry to drag up an old thread but anyone with the vaguest interest in hip hop should listen to Laminated Cakes by Jam Baxter and Ed Scissor. Masterpiece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
