Essexboy made me think that maybe I should start a topic for people's lists to compare to the officia winners (and runners-up). You don't have to do it the way I did (just one album per act, not duplicating any of the winning albums) to participate.

FOABP gets my vote, seeing as Resistance was the album that finally showed IQ to be fallible…..

But none of the albums that I have listened to from this list would get anywhere near my top 50 from these years!😊


I know choosing and looking up can be rather tough. Easy for me due to earlier topics I made. I just had to do a little working it out.

Here is mine (and I added a youtube playlist with a favourite track off each because that is what I do, and it's helping me to get set up for a video blog/podcast).

My List (excluding AOTY winners and just one album per act)

    2005: Coil - The Ape of Naples
    2006: OOIOO - Taiga
    2007: William D. Drake - Briny Hooves
    2008: Secret Chiefs 3 - Xaphan: Book of Angels Volume 9
    2009: Boredoms - Vision Creation Newsun
    2010: Kayo Dot - Coyote
    2011: North Sea Radio Orchestra - I a Moon
    2012: Godspeed You! Black Emperor - 'Allelujah! Don't Bend! Ascend!
    2013: Kosmischer Läufer - Volume One
    2014: Swans - To Be Kind
    2015: Susanne Sundfør - Ten Love Songs
    2016: Radiohead - A Moon Shaped Pool
    2017: King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Polygondwanaland
    2018: Anna von Hausswolff - Dead Magic
    2019: black midi - Schlagenheim
    2020: Ciśnienie (with Lód 9) - The Brass Album
    2021: Squid - Bright Green Field
    2022: Black Country, New Road - Ants From Up There
    2023: Sprain - The Lamb as Effigy


And a playlist of one track per album as is my wont just in case:
