[GrumpyBlue]

Blimey here we go again - shows my age - only heard of one of these :cricko:

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

The North Mississippi Allstars World Boogie is Coming is easily the best new blues album of the year.

 

[KAB]

The Temperance Movement. Old style R&B and superb. Free, Faces, Stones, its all there.

 

[chapperzUK]

Only got a few albums this year:

Bastille - Bad Blood
OneRepublic - Native
David Bowie - The Next Day

 

[Jedi Shrimper]

The Bowie album is really good.

 

[Massimo Giovanni]

Me too! I stuck in Sclub7 time warptime warp:blush:

 

[Yer Blues]

My Fave Album of the year has been Awayland by Villagers. Caught them last month in London and was one of the best shows I have been to in an age.

 

[londonblue]

Mine was The Boxer Rebellion - Promises

 

[Napster]

Quite liked Drop City Yacht Club.

 

[SUFC_Ross]

Arctic Monkeys-AM

 

[MK Shrimper]

No idea, but I concur about The Boxers and I quite like London Grammar but I've no idea these days.

 

[MrB]

5. Mr B the Gentleman Rhymer - Can't Stop, Shan't Stop

I like the sound of this!

Pearl Jam's Lightning Bolt is excellent and looking forward to a rare European tour next year, hoping to see them in Amsterdam given the ease of getting there from Southend these days!

 

[Suffolk Shrimper In Dorset]

Minutes - Moyet. Come on, its compulsory.

 

[Another Surrey Shrimper]

Arcade Fire, M-elt Yourself Down, Connan Mockasin, Factory Floor, **** Buttons are the ones I have kept coming back to. Was mbv this year? I tend to overplay things then forget they exist for a few months. Best song of the year Avicii 'I could be the one' - euphoric. The new Paul McCartney single makes me happy at the moment.

Just started listening to Public Service Broadcasting - Inform Educate Entertain, which I'm immediately loving so I'll have that on my list.
