My top 5 were all Bonnaroo bands (Manchester Orchestra, The Revivalists, Paramore, Everything Everything, The Killers), so that obviously impacted my listening quite a bit.

Round 6: Foxing - Nearer My God
This record was a grower. I listened to it when they were coming to town and didn't like it enough to go to the show. I returned to the album after hearing this song on the radio but their concert had already come and gone. Their sound has a classic rock grandeur to it that's kind of uncommon nowadays.

Good times!
I can't say for sure, but mine looked way to death-metally for me. Lots of band names containing demon or destroyer or odin

Mine seems to be mostly old soul tracks with the occasional oddball entry from Aphex Twin, Edward Elgar and two songs each from Dennis Wilson and Prince Jammy.
Tastebreakers indeed.

Since I was talking with @rockaction about modern rap/what teens listen to, here is a tribute to 2 of the better ones that passed away this year. XXX sampled a Lil Peep song as a tribute to him after Peep died. By the time the song was finished and released, XXX was also dead.

Thanks for the shout. I listened to that. Then started listening to "Runaway" from Lil Peep and thought "that's just auto-tuned R&B with that sort of dank trap sound." Am I wrong on that? That doesn't even sound like they're rapping. Then I scanned "Broken Smile" and realized, "yeah, this is trap auto-tuned R&B." No surprise teens listen to this by the way. R&B was huge when I was a teen.

ain't no party like a coltrane party. unless it's a no-all-caps ron gallo party. it's a bizarre and really fun album- much more varied than heavy meta, which I loved.
7- love supreme (work together)- ron gallo

Yeah, no rapping on that one. Lots of their songs don't have any or much rapping. It's as much R/B or often bordering on indie lo-fi.

Live recording of a track off last year's record is a fun, breezy blast

Here is a song with rapping in it, I was going to take this but decided to include Peep just for posterity.

I've talked this one up a lot- IIRC, drafted it in the magic footmusic leeg.
btw... my tastebreaker is really all over the place in a good way. hip-hop, jazz, world... I only recognize a couple of outfits (mechelle ndegeocello, closer). my kids' and wife's ####ty taste doesn't seem to have mucked up the algorithms.

that bulls and roosters ep is a lot of fun. was hoping they'd drop a full album this year.

I could have taken a track off of that but I felt like I should try to get this one in there

That magic football draft was a blur, I missed so many peoples picks. I totally fell asleep on the wheel get taking Coltrane earlier here. How many rounds are we going btw?

Thanks. I liked a few of his tracks, I guess.
And the music makes me sad, actually. For a bunch of reasons.
In other news, Post Malone and Aerosmith are playing the Super Bowl. I think I'll be tuning into the NFL Network. I'm not looking at someone who does that to their face. Sorry, that's not a get off my lawn moment; I just do not abide a faceful of tattoos like that and never have. And it is my business. In order to speak to you, I have to look at you. In order to even conceive if you're a threat to me, basic to human existence, I need to see your face -- and when you do that to it, it's almost universally aesthetically revolting.

And I took White Iverson in Genrepalooza, so I've nothing against the guy and his popularity, I just can't look at him now.

Rd Seven - The Regrettes - Come Through
Snipe pick. I believe I saw someone took another of this bands songs in the mid-year. I like that song, too, but I like this one more.

The music is all pretty depressing and knowing they both died this year ofcourse adds to it.
Yeah the facial tattoos is a real dumb trend. Just so freaking stupid. I live in a nice- maybe even snobby suburb. We have a great local grocery store, one of those smaller higher end markets. One of the workers is a young white girl maybe 20 years old and he has several tattoos on her face. It's so bizarre and so out of place. I just wonder what her story is.

Yeah, Lil Peep apparently died of a combination of Xanax and fentanyl, which is so, so dangerous. I have a friend whose brother died from fentanyl. I'd met him. That was sad. I should call said friend. Haven't talked to him in a while. But yes, the music is sort like swimming in a drugged-out, smelly, thick gossamer.
Yeah, I don't want to derail the thread about music (I'm about to take out a more serious one that I think works in conjunction with it) with face tattoos, but I also always wonder backstories when stuff like that goes on.

Scary stuff. His friends posted videos of him dead on the tour bus- they thought he was just asleep. XXX got robbed and killed at a dealership. Apparently he had a bag with thousands of dollars of cash and was looking to buy a vehicle with cash. It sounds like he must have been set-up. It's messed up but when one gets tattoos on their face, I feel like they are kind of planning to die young or at least accepting of the possibility of it.

Rd 7: Shame - One Rizla
Another find I credit to the mid-year draft. @Eephus took Concrete which is my favorite off the album but this one deserves a listen too. These guys have a lot of charisma and seem like they’d be a blast to see live.

Just a measly 13,178 minutes listened. Top five are all holdovers from 2017. Alvvays, Frightened Rabbit, Portugal. The Man (Evil Friends mostly), Shopping and Jason Isbell.
Another month and The Beths would sneak in there.

I had my fave Dust on Trial all lined up, but figured somebody else would take something from this fantastic album (probably #3 AotY for me) that eephus turned us all on to.

some jazz from the UK- my queen is ada eastman- sons of kemet
really enjoying this tastebreakers playlist.

Shame is booked for Punk Rock Bowling in Las Vegas in late May. Hopefully they'll announce some other US date around that time.

I usually throw a token jazz record in my EOY album poll but there may be two or three this year. Ezra Collective, Yussef Kamaal, Makaya McCraven are worth a listen if you liked that Sons of Kemet stuff.

couple of additional comments...
most of this playlist is cerebral, songwritery/r&b/jazz stuff- spotify knows my usual wheelhouse is dumb 3 chord nonsense.
I knew closer, but didn't remember that they're scream-metal/garage led by a woman. can't think of other woman led scream-bands out there.

Top Five Bands:

Touche Amore
La Dispute
Aesop Rock
Eminem
Songs:

Flowers and You
Be A Toy
Mainstream: 74%
eta* I'm stunned St. Paul Missionary Baptist Church Blues; Edward Benz, 27 Times; or Safer In The Forest/Love Song For Poor Michigan by La Dispute didn't make it, but I watched Edward Benz on the Auidotree Session they did, plus I own Wildlife on vinyl, so maybe that's why.

Fact check: My analytics department reviewed the data and reported it's impossible to have mainstream artists in the top two and still maintain a 114% non-mainstream ranking.
