Another year, another year end list! 2019 was another great year for music. We’d like to share with you our favourites of the year!
We’re still waiting to get everyone’s list, but here’s a couple to start.
We’ll add them as we get them.
Last year, hilariously I was the only one that actually submitted one…better
luck this time! Also, it should be noted
that since this is still November when we are posting this…if something great comes out before December 31st, we’ll add it to our lists.
Here we go…

Every year it’s a goddamn nightmare trying to narrow this down to a top 10…so this year I didn’t. My house, my rules! Believe it or not, it was really hard to narrow my lists down to this. As per usual, I’m listing mine in alphabetical order. I can never pick a favourite…except for last year when it was Sleep’s The Sciences. No. Brainer.
