There's a lot of interesting albums from this year that I haven't listened yet but this is my #AOTY top ten so far. Starting from number one...
1) Rwake: The Return Of Magik

While albums from two to ten could've been in any order depending on my mood, this was easily my favourite album of the year. It just hits that sweetspot for me.
It's that time of the year again when you name your favourite releases of the year (tbh some of you started circulating this tag as early as October iirc).
I'm not entirely convinced there should be an AOTY list. I mean there should be only one, not a list, but that's just me. Instead, I can name albums in different categories, and to satisfy most of you about the timing, one a day, Advent calendar-style - feel free to chime in and name yours.
There won't be too many surprises here, I've recommended most of the albums during the year.

Okay all, the group #AOTY list is up! I've boosted the toot version from @1001otheralbums.com, but footnotes look like crap on here, so it might look better on the blog. Thanks everyone for taking part, there's some great stuff on here to check out - 132 albums, to be exact!
Happy listening! And remember, keep your friends close and your records closer.
