2017 was officially the worst year in the history of music since Cavey McCaveman picked up two sticks and started banging them together back in 5,936,821 BC.

Good to hear, I just thought I was getting old and out of touch haha

Struggled to enjoy most of the hottest 100 this year

Podcasts became my savior in 2017...

Might not have had a lot of depth but 2017 had Go Father In Lightness which might be the best album I've heard this millennium.

I still don't get the hype around it.

None of the singles jumped out at me and the album as a whole was a struggle.

I preferred The Positions a lot more.




There's been some good stuff so far this year, hope it keeps up.

I guess that's just the subjectivity of music. I thought The Deepest Sighs, The Frankest Shadows and Let Me Down Easy were two of the best songs of the year easily.

Late last year spotify suggested a track to me titled "Springfield", which instantly got my attention. I then listened to the album "The Optimist" and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had never heard of this band before, and I can't understand why, they've been around for nearly 30 years! They did start as a death doom band but quickly matured into a progressive/alt rock style.

They are Anathema and they are absolutely amazing, I now have a massive back catalogue to gorge on which I have been doing ever since :)

If you like prog/alt stuff these guys are the shower, thoroughly recommended!

I looked into this album after reading your post, which led me to realise I really liked one of their earlier songs (Magnolia), right now I can't stop listening to this record, it's just fantastic :) While listening to it my wife quipped that L'imaginaire was a rip off, and once I looked into it we both laughed to find out it was a gunners tribute, awesome!

To read that they had three songs in the hottest 100 top 10 is a fair effort too, and I concur that I had a difficult time picking my favourites this year, I do listen to triple J, but these days tend to find most of my new music on spotify.
