I forgot trophy eyes on mine, haha. I love that album as well.

 

Wasn't even aware Deer Leap put out a new record. Good looks.

 

My goal is to finally finish mine before New Year's Day, which is when mine have landed the last few times.

 

Would it be too obnoxious for me to post an unranked top 50?

Alright, I received affirmation (thanks @StevenW92 haha), so it goes! Alphabetical, unranked. There are a few albums on here that I'll be ready to kick out in favor of newer discoveries or December releases.

Oh man, definitely. He's just right there in the middle of my wheelhouse!

 

Only question remains is whether it's Maren Morris, Dawes, Margo Price, Parker Millsap or Drive by Truckers. Haha

 

My AOTY or my wheelhouse? Haha

 

Your #2 (since Butch put something out this year)

 

Holding place

 

Holding place

 

Ha, hey! There were at least two years that Butch put out a full-length that wasn't my album of the year. But yeah, he's my album of the year.

JEW also put something out this year, don't forget! But Dawes, Maren, and Parker are all in my top 10. Not entirely sure what to do with Margo and the Truckers yet. I'm having a lot of trouble cutting down to 30 this year.

 

I may end up with 40 myself. We shall see. When all's said and done, I'll have broken 300 listens for the year.

 

Yeah, I'm leaning toward doing 40 too. I don't really want to go to 50, but I feel like there are 40 records right now that are probably vying for my top 30. I'd like to talk about them all in some respect.

I think I'm somewhere around 250 right now. I was definitely slowing down in November, though. Doing more revisiting than first listens.

 

I didn't make a list, I made a chart!

 

That's pretty. Where can I make one?
