I must have missed Lucky Soul’s sell out stadium tour, which is a shame as I would have really loved to have seen them. They’d currently struggle to sell out my front room but they’re brilliant.

The National, on the other hand, I have to agree with you on. High Violet is such a lovely record. I rank it higher than Boxer and Alligator, but just slightly.

I’ll check out the other entries for which you have so conveniently supplied sound links.

Of course you always manage to pull together artists/albums that resonated so deeply with me this year like Land Of Talk. Along with putting something iv yet to hear but loved immediately like Olenka & The Autumn Lovers!

You never purported to select songs to fill some fabricated ‘diversity’ card (aka albums no one has heard of) but selected albums that resonated with you.

Kudos on your bitchin list!

The list itself is also a fine one, and for the enlightenment of certain individuals, it’s your list; not claiming to be The List, an ultimate list, or anything other than a list of your own personal favourites. So pay no attention to that troll under the cyber bridge!

As usual, I have (and love) a few of these, but will make an effort to explore some of the others that are less familiar.

Read this blog much Boris? Clearly Frank's list lacks diversity for not having "grunge"on his list like you.

Sure all lists are subjective, but how can you listen to Sharon Van Etten and Radio Dept records and claim that Frank's list has a lack of geniune quality albums?
