Best of 2023.png

So this is where I am for my Best of 2023 up to the month of April.

Nothing much has changed, I don't think, I lost my little text file of records and ranking and my Topsters chart, so I had to start again from memory and old posts. Looking back through my Radar Lists, it seems like April has been a good month for additions.

[edit] Added my long list, as everyone seems to have one :LOL:

Top 10 of 2023:
  1. Hellripper - Warlocks Grim & Withered Hags
  2. Wanderwelle - All Hands Must Bury The Cliffs At Sea
  3. Sleep Research Facility / Llyn Y Cwn - Sargo / Posidonia

  5. Mats Gustafson & Joachim Nordwall - THEIR POWER REACHED ACROSS SPACE AND TIME-TO DEFY THEM WAS DEATH-OR WORSE
  6. London Brew - London Brew
  7. Marlene Ribeiro - Toquei No Sol
  8. BIG|BRAVE - nature morte
  9. JPEGMAFIA & Danny Brown - SCARING THE HOES

  25. Rob Mazurek - Lightning Dreamers
  26. August Burns Red - Death Below
  27. Yves Tumor - Praise A Lord Who Chews But Which Does Not Consume; (Or Simply, Hot Between Worlds)
  28. Lankum - False Lankum

  30. M83 - Fantasy
  31. Dorothy Moskowitz & The United States of Alchemy - Under an Endless Sky
  32. YoshimiOizumikiYoshiduO - To The Forest To Live A Truer Life
  33. Piper Spray - Leaving Memory

I'm settled on my top 3 (possibly) at the moment, everything else could change at the drop of a hat!

My most listened of 2023

1. Nickel Creek - Celebrants
2. Mighty Poplar - Mighty Poplar
3. Angel Bat Dawid - Requiem for Jazz
4. Margo Price - Strays
5. Melusine- Cecile McLorin Salvant
6. The War and Treaty - Loverā€™s Game
7. I Donā€™t Know a Thing About Love: The Songs of Harlan Howard - Willie Nelson
8. Metallica - 72 Seasons
9. Brandee Younger - Brand New Life
10. Liv.e - Girl in the Half Pearl

My best of list for the year will not include Metallica and probably wonā€™t have Liv.e on it. Young Fathers would probably make the cut right now along with Rozi Plain. Iā€™m still not sure how I feel about the Dawid. Iā€™d be happy with any of the rest being on my best of list.
