maybe I'll redo that whole top 30 another day

 

I don't think I'll change this, so might as well post it. I'll add the rest of a top 100 and a few EPs later.

1) Hippo Campus – Bambi
The next great indie pop band in the vein of Bombay Bicycle Club and Vampire Weekend

2) Years & Years - Palo Santo
It’s like Troye Sivan, but with more bops and less ballads

3) Rae Morris - Someone Out There
One of the best storytellers in the electropop space

4) Family and Friends - Felix Culpa
Complex, Local Natives-influenced indie folk/pop/rock

5) Tash Sultana - Flow State
It’s kinda like if Duffy could shred and was also really good at a bunch of other instruments too

6) Novo Amor – Birthplace
Bon Iver, Bon Iver 2.0

7) Foxing - Nearer My God
If you’re on this site, you probably know this album.

8) Liza Anne - Fine But Dying
Singer-songwriter versatile enough to open for both Paramore and Kacey Musgraves this year and not feel out of place on either bill

9) The 1975 - A Brief Inquiry Into Online Relationships
See: Foxing

10) Darlingside - Extralife
Indie-folk with gorgeous 4-part harmonies

11) Janelle Monae - Dirty Computer
12) Lucy Dacus - Historian
13) Jungle - For Ever
14) Jukebox the Ghost - Off To The Races
15) CHVRCHES - Love Is Dead
16) DJDS - Big Wave More Fire
17) Long Neck - Will This Do?
18) Shakey Graves - Can't Wake Up
19) Panic! At The Disco - Pray For The Wicked
20) The Beths - Future Me Hates Me

21) VOLA - Applause Of A Different Crowd
22) Loma - Loma
23) I’m With Her - See You Around
24) The Joy Formidable - Aaarth
25) Dear Rouge - Phases
26) Clarence Clarity - Think: Peace
27) Wet - Still Run
28) Lord Huron - Vide Noir
29) Trevor Powers - Mulberry Violence
30) Hop Along - Bark Your Head Off, Dog

 

I love all of these lists, great stuff

 

Separating EPs from LPs seems pointless

 

I disagree, I think its hard to compare an EP to a full album.

 

I just think it’s silly because some “EPs” are longer than some “LPs”

 

That'd be like comparing a short story collection to a novel.

 

shouldn't be.

but for context these names came from records, an EP is supposed to fit on a 10 inch while an LP would fit on a 12 Inch.. that helps.. well zero amount but yea, basically I think most bands won't go over 7 songs on an EP where as an LP usually includes 8 plus tracks.

 

I don’t think that analogy works at all

 

This is all silly so i guess i should just get to the point, which is that i wonder where people would put the boygenius EP or the mwy untitled EP in their actual lists

 

Really? At all?

Fine, like a chapbook to a poetry collection.

 

In 2018 I have definitely listened to EPs that are longer quite a few albums I listened to, it’s over

 

Vince said it best

 

Liza Anne!

 

Boygenius had six songs better than most albums this year.

 

You all need to listen to the Rosalia album, her absence in this thread is embarrassing people

 

Love love love that album. Feels like something that’d take off here if she had the hype of some other artists

 

I love you but I need another year is so good

 

As I've said, I feel the same about Meg Myers haha

 

I use this thread as a catch-up for the year. Maybe I need to give Drug Church and Daughters a listen...

 

I'm just saying.

 

1. Amy Shark - Love Monster
2. Alkaline Trio - Is This Thing Cursed
3. Direct Hit! - Crown of Nothing
4. Hussey - Hitchens
5. Tiny Moving Parts - Swell
6. Brian Fallon - Sleepwalkers
7. All Get Out - No Bouquet
8. The Story So Far - Proper Dose
9. Jeff Rosenstock - POST-

Honorable Mentions:
We Are The Union - Self Care
MXPX - S/T

 

Need to revisit Post-.

Not as good as Worry, but still loaded with prime Jeff.
