It's still awards season so thought I'd share my 2024 albums list.
I tried to listen to at least one 2024 release a week (not necassarily as it came out but at some point through the year) and I managed a fair few more, although there was still a few I never got round to despite wanting to, like that Kamasi Washington record. I didn't listen to anything I expected to dislike so avoided a few big albums from artists I don't like and a couple from artists I do like who I'd heard stunk the gaff out. I made the effort to listen to a big range of music including stuff I don't usually listen to. So generally I enjoyed most things I heard. A really good year. Only two albums disappointed me and only one was really Bad. Only albums are included except a couple EPs and mixtapes I felt were important enough to include, and I slipped in two 2023 projects because I'd not heard of them at the start of last year.
The top row is my 10s, the next line are 9s, two whole rows of 8s, a row and a bit of 7s, then a 6, a 5, miss a few and a 2.
