I have to say that this year, for the first time for a long time, I feel woefully out of touch, which is why I'm particularly enjoying the various end of year round-ups. The never-ending list grows longer!

Was trying to do my top 20 but there are a few in there I have not heard and are worthy of any 2016 compilation. I hope you are doing the next 10 too. I better get my top 20 done before that comes out. Great selection as usual of course.

I freely admit that I have lost the plot as to "new music" pretty much since the turn of the millenium, so no top 10s from me I'm afraid! Over the holidays however I will find time to investigate some of these choices and hopefully discover a few new gems to add to "the tracks of my (middle-aged) years".<br /><br />Appreciate however how you take the time to drop by my place and leave comments as I tend to take a very different approach to our musical memories!Alysonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15671033552961486737noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-76734316103410045012016-12-18T21:57:49.775+00:002016-12-18T21:57:49.775+00:00Great Stuff Swede.

I must confess I was really disappointed with the latest Slow Club album, probably because I loved the last one so much and that due to pledging for it it was highly anticipated. I keep trying with it but only a few tracks have stuck.drewhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12469084438125548989noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-10693116496688193742016-12-18T21:56:10.811+00:002016-12-18T21:56:10.811+00:00Vanishing Twin and Ultimate Painting came close to...Vanishing Twin and Ultimate Painting came close to making my final list this year. Man I could have done a Top 100 (but then I would be The Quietus or Consequence of Sound) I think and that's just because music was, more than it has been for some time, a refuge from all the bullshit 2016 threw up. I think I will do a New Year's Day post with the best of the next that could have/should have been in my final list.Echorichhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02853063796135973187noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-711128507601674442016-12-18T21:36:34.598+00:002016-12-18T21:36:34.598+00:00Love that Blackeyed Susans song, thanks - and you ...Love that Blackeyed Susans song, thanks - and you already convinced me to buy Girl Ray a couple of weeks back. Couldn't really get into the Teenage Fanclub album myself: it sounds fine but ultimately didn't seem to be about anything. Then again, that might be true of much of their work, which I love a lot more, so... I dunno.

There are a couple of songs here I absolutely love and should have been on my own list of top songs, particularly your choice from the Blackeyed Susans. Man, do I miss the Triffids. I was with the peanut gallery on Slow Club last time around, but I never did get this latest one. This is the only song I have heard so far. Haven't bought an album from Teenage Fanclub in many years, but I see why you like this song so much. Very strong list, sir. Well done.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04321051045499549249noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7522017207239490912.post-74395736220299783592016-12-16T15:06:19.234+00:002016-12-16T15:06:19.234+00:00Great selection of songs, Swede.
