Still think 'Kid A' is their best album even though it didn't win the 2000 poll

Good luck regarding your daughter Durly ...

[The Subhuman]

Gonna have to work very hard to find an album, maybe my worst year for music looking through the lists. Earl Sweatshirt's Doris is the only on I've found so far

Not a vintage year by any means!

2013 saw the only album I really listened to repeatedly in that decade...

Boards of Canada - Tomorrow's Harvest

Lipfe just got in the way and spending hours listening to music took more of a back seat. But was genuinely looking forward to this album and for once something lived up to the hype. While it's the same nostalgia drenched melancholy as much BoC output, a number of reviews refer to the album's particular sense of foreboding and dread...

[Gandalf]

Steven Wilson - The Raven That Refused To Sing

[Muppet the Cat]

Wooden Shjips 'Back To Land'

(Hope all is OK with your daughter, Durly)

[Sara]

Low - The Invisible Way

Honourable mention to Chris T-T, The Bear, especially for the track, Gulls.

[Azkal]

Daniel Norgren 'Buck'

[White Riot]

I'll go with: Queens Of The Stone Age - Like Clockwork

But this was a really tough choice as I flipped between this and: Phosphorescent - Muchacho

Give Phos a listen, as I think a lot of you may like it
