You either have it or you don't. :)
And IMHO you can keep it! Ha-ha. Thanks for confirming these lists are of little use to me. I do like the first track Slow Burn from Kacey Musgrave but the album is not for me (I wrote that a long time ago on another thread).

But each to their own! No wrong or right when it comes to taste. I'd say even friends with the closest taste to mine probably like 20% of what I like at any moment, that's just the way it is for all of us I guess. I'm used to it now anyway.
 
Good selection so far. I’ll leave the nominations open until Boxing Day, and create the poll that evening.
 
The top three:

1) Jon Hopkins - Singularity

Sons of Kemet, by a country mile

If one is allowed to critique ... the sax player only knows three notes and plays those three in every track.

....a country mile is a lot shorter than I ever remember it being.;)
 
I thought we were only considering 2018 releases? Much as I love Public Service Broadcasting, Every Valley was released in 2017.
