As you've got I Promise in there, what about this leftover from ★: It was included in the cast recording of his musical Lazarus, put out last year, but its release as part of an EP (also called No Plan) on January 8th of this year was its first proper release. Some other bits and bobs I've liked from this year: Elbow - Magnificent (She Says) Holy Holy - That Message Laura Marling - Soothing Lucy Rose - Second Chance Paul Weller - She Moves with the Fayre; Satellite Kid Queens of the Stone Age - The Way You Used to Do; Hideaway Radiohead - Man of War (I'm sure you didn't forget this, but I felt I had to mention it anyway) Slowdive - Sugar for the Pill Spoon - Hot Thoughts Wolf Alice - Beautifully Unconventional Also, some Alvvays, but you're not keen on them, are you? That's a good track, do you know why it was not on Blackstar? There's a few tracks there that I like but don't love (Laura Marling and Slowdive), I'll the rest a listen as soon as my Definitely Maybe playlist ends (Listen Up has just come on after Cigarettes & Alcohol, and Slide Away's next, so...)  Nah, I'm not an Alvvays fan. I think if you're gonna be that outrageously pleasant and dreamy, you need something unique to not just fade into the background. For me, the lyrics and the sound and the singing and everything about them is just kind of...nice. Nothing about them grabs me, but they're alright. Oh, and this from Ian Dury's son, Baxter: |

The National - Sleep Well Beast is probably my favourite album of the year. Not really listened to much outside of indie/rock this year so QOTSA, Liam & Noel, Mark Lanegan, Ryan Adams and The War On Drugs would round off my favourites.
Best song for me is Thurston Moore - Smoke of Dreams. TUNE.

I can't believe no one on here has suggested Spitting Image by the Strypes! It's a brilliant album and easily one of the best of last year.

No one has mentioned it yet, so here it goes:
Wonderful Wonderful - The Killers
And if you want a song from that for a playlist, any of these will do:
The Killers - The Man
The Killers - Out of my mind
The Killers - The calling
The Killers - Tyson vs Douglas
I love this album. My second favorite of 2017 after AYW. WBTM takes third place.

I don't tend to listen to a lot of new albums that come out, I just stick to the ones by artists I'm already interested in or come heavily recommended here. Not because i dislike new music it's just honestly I've not got the time to listen as much as I used to. So more than not, when I have an hour or two - I'll turn to Oasis, Verve, Beatles, the Jam, Buzzcocks, Smiths, Neil Young, etc. I do enjoy discovering new artists but I often do so slowly. So there were lots of notable releases this year of interest to me Liam - As you were Noel - WBTM Verve - Urban hymns reissue (+unreleased session tracks) Beatles - Sgt Pepper's 20th anniversary Paul Weller - A Kind Revolution Smiths - the Queen is Dead reissue (demos) Neil Young - the visitor...not heard it yet but will this weekend Ride - the Weather diaries Fastball - Step Into Light Trainspotting 2 soundtrack I’m with you Dude. However I try to spend at least half of my time listening to new bands that are sent to me by PR companies. A few bands that I’ve been watching for a few years now are :- The Sherlocks The Amazons April Towers Cigarettes After Sex The Clocktower 12 Dirty Bullets And many others.... I recommend them all and I will post others as I find them.... MickDude x |

Almost exactly one year late...
Just got through Paramore's After Laughter, which was a nice listen.
A bit samey, but that's Paramore for you - POWERCHORDS.
