Top 10 of 2021

This thread makes me depressed because it shows that not only do I know nothing about hifi but I know nothing about music either. Frankly I don’t even know what I’m doing here… :stuck_out_tongue:

I didnt buy 10 newly released albums in 2021, many were re-issues. So, 2021 releases, in no particular order:

Dry Cleaning - New Long Leg
Elbow - Flying Dream 1
Ishmeal Ensemble - Visions of Light
IST IST - The Art of Lying
Lady Blackbird - Black Acid Soul

One of the cherries of this years crop

Nah, don’t be a bell, we’re all just a bunch of tryhards trying to outdo one-another with obscure musical references 'cos we weren’t the Kool Kidz in school and so we’re still overcompensating… :wink:

If we were being honest, our top 10s would all be Adele, Abba, Ed Sheeran, Billie Eilish, Kanye West, Coldplay, Max Bygraves…

I will probably catch up with this thread in 2041.

Only new albums I bought are 2 copies of lady blackbird on black and the other on blue vinyl.

Was kidding :wink:

Just have very limited listening time at the moment… Still working my way through the Spotify list I made from all your 2018 recommendations… This Frank Ocean guy is interesting… :stuck_out_tongue:

The Bug - Fire
Mogwai - As The Love Continues
Low - Hey What
Peter Zinovieff - South Pacific Migration Party
Sedibus - The Heavens
Jane Weaver - Flock
Hans Zimmer - Dune OST

should be in there, but it didn’t show up in my filter in MusicBee because the tag has a release date of 2022. I think that’s when they were planning to release it originally.

Quite like the Test Tones LP. Not sure about listening to Graphs though. I think there is a bit too much inky silence for me.

People like inky silence, most upgrades result in inky silence.

Seems like it is a good year for LPs anyway, whatever is in your Top Ten.
